Muscle Produces Anti-Inflammatory Cytokines That Regulate Immune System When Moving
ZOE Science & Nutrition
Most replayed moment: Easy Steps to Reduce Inflammation and Slow Ageing | Professor Janet Lord
"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.
