Reducing chronic inflammation for healthier aging.

The Five Pillars of Healthy Aging
Movement
​
Research shows that regular, moderate physical activity lowers circulating inflammatory biomarkers by decreasing visceral fat and naturally altering the body's immune responses at a cellular level.
Nutrition
​
Certain diets can trigger the immune system to produce inflammatory proteins, while others contain antioxidants that help cool this response. Over time, your dietary patterns heavily dictate your inflammatory burden.
Sleep
​
Research has found that sleep deprivation is associated with markers of inflammation, such as increases in inflammatory molecules. This suggests that sleep deprivation plays a role in the inflammatory process
Stress
​
Chronic stress causes a persistent, low-grade inflammatory state, due to overproduction of stress hormones, and eventual cortisol resistance. Lack of cortisol leads to increased inflammatory proteins and long-term tissue damage.
