Exercise is a powerful anti-inflammatory stress. Another big cause of inflammation. The key is to find habits and behaviors that reduce your stress response. Meditation, yoga, hot and cold therapies, breath work, whatever works for you. Try it. Toxins are also inflammatory. They're called immunotoxins. Low levels, pesticides, chemicals, heavy metals. Another source sometimes is latent infections. We might not know we have it, like a virus or tick infection or mold we're exposed to. Those all can drive inflammation.
