Physical Intelligence - Day 65

The reality is that I don't really understand inflammation, let alone the causes of it because I simply have not processed what it is or pay sufficient attention to this, which is worth the examination.  Research in healthcare are now beginning to point its investigation of inflammation and its relationship to a wide range of chronic illness.  This is way more than just joint pain.   The starting point for me was learning about anti-inflammatory foods and here what I saw was good news, or at least a good reason for me to align with what and how my own family engage in food preparation :

Knowing what foods have anti-inflammatory foods is insufficient by itself for me to know about the wider subject of inflammation.  The first video is excellent in that it taught me about hormone building blocks and the role of hormones classed as stress hormones and regenerative hormones.  There are other food video's about what food groups are good for hormones - but again there is more to this then what we eat, but also knowing stress :

This focus on stress is not just emotional stress, but physical stress also, which is why I bring Muhammad Ali back into the picture.  For sure we can look at him as a supreme mental and physical specimen but we can also learn from his extreme physical lifestyle.  Ironically the first video addresses "too much exercise" as a way of stressing our bodies. 

My chief takeway from today's investigation of inflammation took me more to the long term effects of stress and this is all introductory information.  It paves the pathway for me to personally become that much more physically intelligent about all aspects of inflammation.
