Muscle Produces Anti-Inflammatory Cytokines That Regulate Immune System When Moving

What was said

"Moving muscle produces cytokines that dampen the inflammation down. Particularly, they educate immune cells to be anti-inflammatory. And so the more your muscle is moving, the more it's producing helpful cytokines to dampen the inflammation."

Lord presented evidence that actively contracting muscle tissue functions as a major regulator of the immune system by producing anti-inflammatory cytokines. This positions muscle movement as a direct pharmacological intervention against inflammaging, beyond traditional cardiovascular or metabolic benefits.
