What Is Inflammation and Do You Suffer?
"I mean, this seems like and obvious marker, but a lot of people ignore it in pursuit of numbers. If you feel run down, lethargic, unhappy, your workouts are suffering, you struggle to get out of bed, you're putting on a little extra weight around the waist, sex isn't as interesting, etc., etc., etc., you may be suffering from some manner of systemic, low-grade inflammation. Conversely, if you're full of energy, generally pleased and/or content with life, killing it in the gym, bounding out of bed, lean as ever or on your way there, and your sex drive is powerful and age appropriate, you're probably good.
And really, isn't that the most important health marker of all?
Anyway, I hope this was helpful. Systemic inflammation is a pretty nebulous state, and pinning it down can be tough, even with the help of actual objective lab markers. And because inflammation and all the maladies associated with it are so intertwined and feed off each other and have so many different effects, we often feel helpless. Well, try not to pile too much on your shoulders. Get some markers tested if you can, but ultimately it's going to come down to eating better, moving better, sleeping better, relaxing better, and avoiding too much stress. And if you feel great, I wouldn't really worry. Don't be the guy or gal who chases "inflammation," and don't go looking for a drug that reduces the liver's production of CRP. Instead, be the one who eliminates the ultimate cause, or causes (because there are always more than one) of the chronic inflammation. Revisit the list from the end of the last inflammation post and make sure you're not omitting anything that you should be including or including anything you should be omitting."
When you get a hold on inflammation, you get a hold of your life. This is a main contributor to heart health, cardiovascular wellness, piece peace of mind, longevity, and quality of life.
