If somebody was having issues with a weakened immune system, and also dealing with a chronically higher baseline level of inflammation, are there any known ways to strengthen the immune system while reducing or at least not increasing baseline inflammation? Is that even possible or is some level of inflammation unavoidable?
Would it depend on the specific inflammatory factors that are already causing the higher baseline response?
I know there’s some research about running reducing inflammation, but it also triggers some inflammation? Is the acute inflammation triggered by running tied to longer term reductions in inflammation?
Thanks! I don’t do gluten free, but I do try to avoid wheat/gluten and simple carbs in general, but can’t always resist the temptation even though I know I should avoid it.
One of my coworkers brings in these amazing baked goods a few times a year. Happened yesterday and I couldn’t resist. I did manage to limit myself to one, and took the others home for my family. Still seemed to have some increased redness/flushing afterwards. I don’t think it’s the only thing going on but that’s kinda what I meant when I said it seems like my baseline level of inflammation always seems to be higher than it ever was been in the past.
It’s not just with gluten, but it’s anything that spikes an inflammatory response, like pushing myself to do too much or stress. It’s like if I normally had a cup that was always half full before, things would fill it, but it never actually spilled. Now it’s like it’s always full to the brim, and the things that used to be no big deal now cause it to overfill, and set me back for days at a time.
