If you are interested in this topic (inflammation prevention and reduction), take a look at the Wim Hof method (the Iceman). In its simplest form, it consists of two simple techniques: cold exposure and deep breathing with hyper-oxygenation. Anyone can do it, whatever their age or physical condition.
New study gives clues on why exercise helps with inflammation

Any source for relevant clinical outcomes? Sounds like medically unsubstantiated anectdote.
I certainly wouldn’t extrapolate to the population at large, but I can definitively state that some carbohydrates trigger a major body-wide inflammatory response in me. There’s several plausible mechanisms by which they could trigger an immune response (past gut infection training an immune response or fodmap sensitivity being the most obvious)

Same. Other substances too. A couple days ago I switched from white wine to red at dinnertime and my fresh mosquito bites immediately started itching when before that I didn't notice them as much. It's not hard to believe that immune responses (allergic reactions being one end of that spectrum) are affected by the body's response to ingested substances. Especially given how strongly the gut microbiota affect blood ch…
A friend of mine is very sensitive to histamines. Can't drink red at all, only special low histamine white wine.

#24Exercise powers the lymphatic system which increases the rate at which wastes are removed from tissues.

#25Exercise helps with inflammation the same way low-dose naltrexone helps with inflammation. They modulate opioid receptors, increase endorphins and drive down interleukin cytokines. Unfortunately neither actually cure the source of the inflammation, disease etc. https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=naltrexone+inflammation... https://google.com/search?q=naltrexone+inflammation+cytokine...
There are plenty of cases for exercise curing disease. Metabolic syndrome is basically cured exclusively through diet and exercise until it becomes too late to stop. Physical therapy is exercise and certainly that is curative. Exercise alone took my cholesterol panel from mildly elevated to absolutely normal, lowered my blood sugar, and improved many inflammatory markers. I cannot say the same for naltrexone. Bonus, my joints feel better, my lungs work better, and my CRP has never been lower.
I dont even need to link studies. Literally go to the NIH, search title for "exercise" and whatever you want, and I bet you can find enough repeatable evidence to completely change your mind. I'd argue exercise, 4-6 times a week in some form or another, is arguably the simplest cure and preventative "medication" for the largest variety of common ailments in a post-scarcity society. The fact doctors don't actually "prescribe" exercise as a first line treatment for metabolic diseases is really a failing of our drug-happy medical system.

> There is a video on youtube about someone whose oral cancer was gone after taking it. I know a guy who says that drinking noni juice cures all sorts of cancers. With your Youtube wisdom and my friends noni expertise, I'm sure the world will soon be cancer free.
You seem to have very low reading comprehension, nowhere did I say low-dose naltrexone cures cancer. There is a youtube video about someone whose cancer was cured using low-dose naltrexone.

#27It also seems like eating carbs is terrible for inflammation. If I go slightly over normal carb intake my knee/foot will hurt. I have screws in there and I bet it's extra sensitive to inflammation.
Does this happen with any carbs? There’s a strong link with fructose and gout.
Fructose is also highly correlated with NAFLD and other liver diseases. It's probably one of the worst things you can put in your body.

While it seems there might be an association, blaming fructose for gout seems just to be a scapegoat for a crappy diet that replaces processed meats with loads of HFCS overall
A quick search suggests fructose increases uric acid. Uric acid is what people with gout are supposed to avoid.

> Uric acid is a normal body waste product. It forms when chemicals called purines break down. Purines are a natural substance found in the body. They are also found in many foods, such as liver, shellfish, and alcohol. They can also be formed in the body when DNA is broken down.

"A quick search" determines that the main source of uric acid are dietary sources and that there are factors that might make its clearance slower. Fructose, if it's a significant factor, is down there in the list of things that should be checked

Eh, daddy had gout. I have some other acid-related condition and stopped drinking orange juice for a time because it was making my big toe hurt.
I'm not that invested in the topic, but I still think leaping to the conclusion that fructose suggests another commenter just has a crappy diet is borderline "personal attack" and also simply unfounded.
But, you know, whatevs.
