Strength training isn't the same as chronic distress though. Activity that uses muscles above current baseline leads to inflammation, which leads to hypertrophy and growth, which results in downregulation of inflammatory markers in the long term. The body upregulates anti-oxidant species in response to normal increases in oxidative stress. Yes, acute/extreme spikes in ROS generation is bad, but that's not what actually occurs in regular exercise.
Tomes of papers support the connection between physical activity, reduced inflammation markers, and decreased all-cause mortality.
Maybe you should actually take some courses in molecular biology, instead of googling some very basic high-level articles and over-generalizing to support your misguided point.
- Podgajski 3y ago> Tomes of papers support the connection between physical activity, reduced inflammation markers, and decreased all-cause mortality Correlation, not causation. What the hell is muscle use above a curent baseline? What does that even mean? I’m pretty sure you’ve never taken a science class in your life.
- kortex 3y ago> What the hell is muscle use above a curent baseline? What does that even mean? Meaning, a conservative increase over your current training regimen, as opposed to over-training. If you go from couch potato to running several miles a day, that's going to be way more stressful than gradual ramp-up. I made that caveat because intense over-training can cause really bad things such as rhabdomyolysis at the extreme. >I’m pretty sure you’ve never taken a science class in your life. I'm pretty sure I have a BS in chemistry and worked as a synthetic chemist for years, and you are talking out your ass.
