Systemic Inflammation

We are all walking around in an inflamed state. Whether it's from poor nutrition, decreased quality sleep, increased stress, or poor gut health, we all have our reasons for being inflamed. This week's episode I want to discuss those reasons, the problems they may cause, and what we can do to help decrease the amount of inflammation in our bodies. We might not be able to eliminate inflammation, but we have to do what we can to help decrease the preventable amount. As masters athletes, we have to worry about stress, lack of sleep, finances, and eating on the go all of the time. We need to find ways to help reduce this systemic inflammation in order to keep moving forward with our activities.
