Episode notes
Preserve Muscle With Regular Resistance
- Keep using and stimulating muscles throughout life because muscle weakens from disuse, not inevitable ageing.
- Strength and resistance work produce anti-inflammatory myokines and protect immunity as you age.
Choose Enjoyable, Varied Movement
- Do some activity you enjoy and can sustain, then add heart-rate-raising and weight-bearing movement for efficiency.
- Sprinkle movement throughout the day and consider a PT session to make gym time effective.
Avoid Chronic NSAID Use For Inflammation
- Avoid routine use of NSAID painkillers to suppress inflammation because they can block the resolution phase.
- Prefer dietary anti-inflammatories like olive oil (oleocanthal) and whole-diet patterns that encourage inflammation resolution.
