If it really is inflammation, exercise targets that just as well, and also acts as a miracle drug that seems to reduce the risk of just about everything, somewhat paradoxically even orthopedic injuries over a long enough timescale (because you stave off age-related muscle and bone mineral loss).
But that puts us back in the "telling people to exercise doesn't cause them to actually do it" at the public health level. For you yourself, you can simply live a less risky, healthier life. For all yous, probably we need something like a once-weekly pill or injection that doesn't require drastic habit changes. For all of society on a forever timescale, of course, we can ignore the fact that adults won't change their ways and focus on instilling lifelong athlete habits in kids. Doesn't seem to be the direction we're going in, though.

When you have inflammation issues I can promise the last thing you want to do is put stress on your body from working out. Especially when most people don't know how to do it properly.
