Exercise 8

What two behaviors should be the focus of attention to minimize the systemic inflammation that is linked to chronic disease?

Step 1 of 2

The two behaviors to be focus of attention to minimize the systemic inflammation linked to chronic diseases are as follows:

• A reduction in body weight and to maintain it at normal levels

• Healthy diet

It is proven that high level of physical activity is associated with low levels of inflammation. However, reduced inflammation is mainly due to weight loss than exercise itself.
