Study finds exercising could combat chronic inflammation
Exercising regularly has a number of health benefits, but did you know that exercising muscle could combat chronic inflammation on its own?
According to a recent study led by Biomedical engineers at Duke University, the human muscle has an innate ability to ward off the damaging effects of chronic inflammation when exercised.
The results of the study appeared on January 22 in the journal 'Science Advances'.
The discovery was made possible through the use of lab-grown, engineered human muscle, demonstrating the potential power of the first-of-its-kind platform in such research endeavours.
Inflammation is not inherently good or bad.
When the body is injured, an initial low-level inflammation response clears away debris and helps tissue rebuild.
Other times, the immune system overreacts and creates an inflammatory response that causes damage, like the often deadly cytokine storms brought on by some cases of COVID-19.
And then, there are diseases that lead to chronic inflammation, such as rheumatoid arthritis and sarcopenia, which can cause the muscle to waste away and weaken its ability to contract.
Among many molecules that can cause inflammation, one pro-inflammatory molecule, in particular, interferon-gamma, has been associated with various types of muscle wasting and dysfunction.

Research Suggests Link , Between Brain Activity and , Maintaining a Healthy Diet.
'Newsweek' reports that neuroscientists have
discovered a link between an individual's
dietary choices and specific brain activity patterns.
According to scientists at Queen's University at Kingston,
connections exist between body mass index (BMI)
and certain brain states necessary to achieve goals. .
The team looked at data from three MRI studies
involving 123 participants making food choices
under a number of different conditions.

'Newsweek' reports that the results offer insight
into how variables are integrated by the brain
and how that impacts dietary control.
The findings suggest that the number of
large-scale brain pattern reconfigurations
necessary to influence behavior may determine
if people struggle to maintain dietary control. .

According to the latest federal
mortality data, life expectancy in
the United States increased in 2022. .

While life expectancy has yet to reach
pre-pandemic levels, 2022 showed
an increase of 1.1 years compared to 2021.
2022 ended up recording 3.27 million
deaths in the U.S., which was
184,374 fewer deaths than the year before.
According to the report, heart disease
