How To Tame Chronic Inflammation

Highlights from the first part of the zoom series

May 10, 2024

Dear Supporting Beens,

I have started a special series to discuss chronic inflammation and how to tame it during our Wednesday zoom sessions. As you know we are all developing chronic inflammation. Hence, the need for this series.

This week we started the discussion with the macrophages as the possible culprits for chronic inflammation. I presented the solutions first and then a part of the pathology. Writing here the solutions (references below the solutions.)

My attempt is to discuss lifestyle and non-prescription solutions.

Hypertension

Isometric exercises (planks, wall squats.)
Low sodium diet

Health and Longevity

Taurine
Forest bathing
Morning and/or evening walks when sun is barely out.

Management of chronic inflammation by taming the macrophages

Mediterranean diet: extra virgin olive oil, oily fish, vegetables.
Nordic diet: the Nordic diet includes increased content of berries, fish, nuts, and seeds with limited consumption of red and processed meat, sugar, salt and alcohol
Berries are the key feature of the Nordic diet. According to recent studies, regular berries intake reduces systemic inflammation
Blueberries should be an important part of our diet.
