Moving, standing, or being weight-bearing is not about exercise; it’s about inflammation. Activated muscles produce anti-inflammatory hormones that neutralize the inflammatory hormones produced by all levels of fat.
Do not sit or be sedentary more than 45 minutes of each waking hour.
- Fat produces inflammatory hormones 24/7. Muscles produce anti-inflammatory hormones when active.
- You need the anti-inflammatory hormones to neutralize the inflammatory hormones throughout the day.
- Inflammation reduces blood flow in capillaries, depriving cells of critical molecules for regeneration.
