Can Exercise have Anti-inflammatory Effect Benefits?

 

20 minutes of moderate exercise may have beneficial anti-inflammatory effects

We all know that regular physical activity is good for health, such as weight control, strengthening heart, bone and muscle health, and reducing the risk of disease.

 

 

We all know that regular physical activity is good for health, such as being able to control weight, strengthen heart, bone and muscle health, and reduce the risk of disease. Recently, researchers from the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine found that participating in only one session.

Moderate exercise appears to have anti-inflammatory effects. The research, published in the international journal Brain, Behavior and Immunity, provides new insights into the development of new interventions to combat chronic diseases such as arthritis, fibromyalgia, and obesity. clues.

 

Can one stimulate the body's immune system to produce an anti-inflammatory cellular response?

In the article, the researchers pointed out that 20 minutes of moderate exercise may be able to stimulate the body's immune system to produce an anti-inflammatory cellular response.

Each time we exercise brings benefits to the body to a certain level, including in the immune system. 

At the cellular level, researchers have now found that moderate exercise brings anti-inflammatory benefits, but elucidating the mechanism by which this anti-inflammatory effect occurs is critical to effectively increasing health benefits.

 

During exercise, the brain and sympathetic nervous system are often activated to facilitate the body's functioning. 

The sympathetic nervous system can increase the heart rate and blood pressure; hormones such as epinephrine and norepinephrine are released into the bloodstream, which activates the immune cells possessed by Adrenergic receptor activity. This activation process during exercise can generate a certain immune response, including the production of many cytokines. One of the key regulators of local and systemic inflammation called TNF can help activate the body's immune response.

 

How much of moderate treadmill exercise reduces levels of TNF-producing stimulatory immune cells?

"Our study found that 20 minutes of moderate treadmill exercise reduced levels of TNF-producing stimulatory immune cells by 5 percent, and elucidating the regulatory mechanisms of inflammatory proteins may help," said researcher Hong. 

Researchers have developed novel therapies to treat patients with chronic inflammatory diseases, an autoimmune disease that currently affects approximately 25 million people in the United States.

 

Does it take too much exercise to have an anti-inflammatory effect?

In the article, the researchers studied 47 participants. They asked participants to perform a certain intensity of treadmill exercise according to their fitness level. At the same time, the participants' blood was collected before and 20 minutes after the exercise for testing. The findings suggest that it doesn't actually take too much exercise to have an anti-inflammatory effect, with 20 to 30 minutes of moderate exercise, such as brisk walking, appearing to be sufficient.

 

Do chronic infections often lead to serious diseases?

Inflammation is a crucial part of the body's immune response, and it is a form of the body's attempt to repair itself after responding to damage, such as helping the body defend against foreign invaders, such as viral and bacterial infections, and helping to repair damaged organs. tissue.

However, chronic infections often lead to a variety of serious diseases, such as diabetes, celiac disease, obesity and other diseases. 

Finally, researcher Hong pointed out that patients with chronic inflammatory diseases often need to consult clinicians to formulate appropriate treatment systems, but now we have found that exercise is also a way to resist inflammation, and we need more in-depth research in the future to clarify why.

Can exercise delay brain aging in older adults?

Physical activity in older adults is associated with a slower rate of decline in thinking skills, according to a population-based observational study recently published in the journal Neurology. 

People who exercised lightly and those who did not exercise, aged more than 10 years than those who exercised moderately to high intensity.

Is memory problem among elderly increasing in the USA?

"The number of people over the age of 65 in the U.S. is on the rise, meaning the public health burden of problems with thinking and memory is likely to grow," said study author Clinton B. Wright, MD, PhD, member of the American Academy of Neurology and University of Miami. "Our study suggests that, for older adults, regular exercise may be protective and help them maintain cognitive performance longer."

Has research proved significance of exercise regarding memory?

For the study, researchers looked at data from 876 participants enrolled in the Northern Manhattan Study. The participants were asked (at the time of the survey) how often they exercised in the preceding two weeks. After an average of seven years, the researchers administered memory and thinking skills tests and brain MRIs to the participants, and again after five years.

Of this group of participants, 90 percent reported light or no physical activity. Light exercise may include activities like walking and yoga. These participants were classified as the low activity group. 

Another 10% reported moderate-to-vigorous exercise, which may include activities such as running, aerobics, or aerobics. These participants were classified as the high activity group.

When looking at data from participants who had no memory and thinking problems at the start of the study, the researchers found that the low-activity group performed over 5 years compared with the high-activity group in terms of the speed at which they performed simple tasks and the number of words they remembered. a higher descending speed. The magnitude of the difference is equivalent to 10 years of aging. 

The differences persisted after the researchers adjusted for other factors that may affect brain health, such as smoking, alcohol consumption, high blood pressure and body mass index.

Which is is an attractive option for reducing the burden of cognitive impairment in public health?

"Physical activity is an attractive option for reducing the burden of cognitive impairment in public health because it is low-cost and does not require pharmacological intervention," Wright said. "Our findings suggest that moderate-to-vigorous exercise may help slow brain aging in older adults, but more research and randomized clinical trials comparing exercise programs to sedentary activities are needed to confirm these results."
