The #1 Driver of Inflammation Over Age 30 is NOT Lack of Exercise (it’s This)

[@shannonlockwood8684]

Thomas, have you read about how cancer thrives on glutamine? I was taking glutamine for gut health until I heard about this... ugh

[@Ibn_yahya_]

​@@shannonlockwood8684hey shannon, yes it's true cancer survives on glutamine and other glucoses, but so does every cell in your body, if you're healthy there's no problem of using glutamine but if you diabetic or have immunodeficiency you can better stay away from those products, intermittend fasting is good to lower over all bloodsugar and and improve brain activity, ifyou can't leave the sugar them dates are the way to go, slow sugars that fuel your body but if you excersize and don't have deficiency then don't worry about glutamine ;)

The key takeaways from Thomas DeLauer's discussion on inflammaging include: 1. **Inflammaging**: A term that combines "inflammation" and "aging," referring to the low-grade, chronic inflammation that increases as we age, contributing to various age-related diseases. 2. **Immunosenescence**: The age-related decline in immune system function, leading to an increased susceptibility to infections, a reduced response to vaccinations, and a higher risk of cancer and autoimmune diseases. 3. **T-cell Shift**: With age, there's a shift from "naive" T-cells, which can adapt to new pathogens, to "memory" T-cells, which are less adaptable. This shift reduces the immune system's ability to tackle new challenges, contributing to increased inflammation. 4. **Lifelong Exposure**: Cumulative exposure to pollutants, unhealthy foods, and lifestyle factors like lack of exercise contribute to cellular damage and oxidative stress, exacerbating inflammaging. 5. **Mitochondrial Dysfunction**: Central to the process of inflammaging is the stress and damage to mitochondria, the cell's energy powerhouses. Damaged mitochondria contribute to increased inflammation and cellular dysfunction. 6. **Autophagy and Mitophagy**: The body's natural cellular "cleanup" processes decline with age. Enhancing these processes, particularly mitophagy (the specific autophagy of mitochondria), can help counteract inflammaging by removing damaged cellular components. 7. **Lifestyle Interventions**: Exercise, cold and heat exposure, and dietary adjustments to improve gut health are recommended to enhance mitochondrial function and reduce inflammation. 8. **Urolithin A**: A compound derived from pomegranates that has been shown to improve mitochondrial function and immune system adaptability, potentially offering a novel approach to mitigating inflammaging. 9. **Proactive Measures**: Adopting healthy lifestyle habits early in life can build resilient mitochondria and reduce the impact of inflammaging later on. For older individuals, careful modulation of these interventions is advised to avoid exacerbating mitochondrial stress. 10. **Personalized Approach**: Given the complexity of inflammaging, interventions should be tailored to individual health status, age, and lifestyle, emphasizing the importance of gut health, mitochondrial support, and immune system adaptability. ------------------ Applying the knowledge from Thomas DeLauer's discussion on inflammaging involves adopting a holistic approach to health that focuses on lifestyle modifications, dietary changes, and potentially incorporating specific supplements. Here are practical steps to integrate this knowledge into your life: ### Lifestyle Modifications 1. **Regular Exercise**: Incorporate a mix of aerobic, strength, and flexibility exercises into your routine. Exercise has been shown to improve immune function, reduce inflammation, and enhance mitochondrial health. Balance is key; avoid overtraining, which can lead to increased inflammation. 2. **Stress Management**: Chronic stress contributes to inflammation. Practice stress-reduction techniques such as mindfulness meditation, yoga, deep breathing exercises, or any activity that helps you relax and unwind. 3. **Adequate Sleep**: Ensure you get 7-9 hours of quality sleep per night. Poor sleep is linked to increased inflammation and weakened immune function. 4. **Cold and Heat Exposure**: Consider incorporating mild cold exposure (like cold showers) and heat exposure (like sauna use) into your routine, as these can stimulate beneficial stress responses in the body, enhancing mitochondrial function and reducing inflammation. ### Dietary Changes 1. **Anti-inflammatory Diet**: Focus on a diet rich in whole foods, vegetables, fruits, lean proteins, and healthy fats. Foods like berries, leafy greens, nuts, and fatty fish are known for their anti-inflammatory properties. 2. **Gut Health**: Support your gut microbiome by including a variety of fiber-rich foods, fermented foods like yogurt and sauerkraut, and possibly a high-quality probiotic supplement. A healthy gut microbiome is linked to reduced inflammation and improved immune function. 3. **Hydration**: Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Proper hydration is essential for all bodily functions, including the immune system and detoxification processes. 4. **Limit Processed Foods**: Reduce intake of processed foods, sugars, and unhealthy fats, which can contribute to inflammation and oxidative stress. ### Supplements and Natural Compounds 1. **Urolithin A**: If considering supplementation, research products containing urolithin A or its precursors (like pomegranate extract) for their potential to enhance mitophagy and support mitochondrial health. Always consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement. 2. **Antioxidants**: Consider supplements with antioxidants like vitamins C and E, selenium, and polyphenols, which can help combat oxidative stress. However, obtaining antioxidants from whole food sources is generally preferred. 3. **Omega-3 Fatty Acids**: Omega-3 supplements, such as fish oil, can help reduce inflammation and support overall health. Look for high-quality, sustainably sourced options. ### Monitoring and Adjustment - **Listen to Your Body**: Pay attention to how your body responds to different interventions. What works for one person may not work for another, so it's important to tailor your approach based on your individual health status, age, and lifestyle. - **Consult Healthcare Professionals**: Before making significant changes to your diet, exercise routine, or supplement regimen, especially if you have existing health conditions, consult with healthcare professionals to ensure your plan is safe and effective. By integrating these strategies into your daily life, you can actively combat inflammaging and promote healthier aging, improving your quality of life both now and in the future.

[@laurafuller8528]

My lived experience is that inflammation increases as hormones decrease. Pregnenolone, thyroid, estradiol, DHEA, testosterone. All of these. And prob some I haven’t named. Think of it…kids can practically eat anything (or nothing!) and generally run around with boundless energy. That is optimized hormonal life!

[@MiteshDamania]

At what age do you notice it?

[@laurafuller8528]

I started to quite notice it mid 40’s. I had a baby at 43, and bounced back as expected (except triggering of some IBS probably related to IV antibiotics while giving birth). I had another baby at 45, almost 46. After she was born, I didn’t have the same full return to the familiar levels of energy. Close, but something off.

This is a good way of describing the complexity of immune response and inflammation. I have had some relatively mild autoimmune trouble in my young adulthood; but now as I'm older, I notice how I have to be moderate in a lot of ways.

Thank you also for reminding me to take collagen and getting some pomegranate back in.

[@advertisercommerce6990]

Fascinating! 69 here, just found out I have lung cancer. Doing a 4 day fast. Is this good to help my mitochondria regenerate and help fight the cancer?

[@addydiesel6627]

Way to go. Cancer hates ketosis. But make sure you don't get dehydrated, which is one of the biggest fasting mistakes.

[@OleDiaBole]

Apparently 4 days wont do almost anything. It is barely a start of what you need to endure. 7 or 10 or 15 days of only drinking water, and then ingesting only healthy fats (lard, butter) to starve cancer from its only two fuels. Carbohydrate and Glutamine. So apparenly even carnivour keto, with proteins will feed it with Glutamine, inspite starving it from carbs.

[@gregkocher5352]

I just saw you have bad news. Thomas has a very good channel here. Additionally I thought I'd point you to another channel. Dr Boz in particular used fasting and autophagy, similar things as here but for her mom who had cancer. I found the things Boz did for her mom fascinating. It is a happy sad story though for her mom. Good luck.

I agree to a degree. I think life long environment exposure. Being old in the body isn't a requirement to getting old. It happens maybe because we become complacent all together. In other words work it or loose it. Most people who become old don't expose there bodies to new things. They tend to live in the same environment so yeah i can see where the immune system could be blind sided by something new. I've found my body responds well when active and exposing my body to new things. I haven't forgotten how to adapt to new things because i work it so i dont loose it. I can honestly say my immune system is stronger in my "old" (60) age. Ok keepemcoming

[@brianwnc8168]

I've been helping people Master longevity and deal with age-related disease for a very long time. Your personal example does not mean that everyone else's body responds that same way. To explain this would require several pages of writing to fully explain all the mechanisms involved.
