Gary Brecka outlines five ways to fight chronic inflammation: cut processed foods and refined carbs, exercise 150 minutes weekly, meditate or do yoga, sleep 7-9 hours nightly, and drink mineral-rich water with sea salt to maintain electrolyte balance.
Chronic inflammation is at the root of many of the most serious diseases. So understanding how to manage and reduce inflammation can significantly improve your health and your longevity. Lifestyle changes that reduce inflammation are things like adopting an anti-inflammatory diet, avoiding at all costs processed foods, sugary beverages, refined carbs, and something called trans fatty acids. Exercise decreases the levels of inflammatory markers in the body, so we should aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate intensity exercise per week. Meditation and yoga help lower stress levels minerals and have been linked to reduce inflammatory responses. Poor sleep is linked to higher levels of inflammation, so aim for 7 to 9 hours of quality sleep per night. Staying hydrated because dehydration can increase inflammation is another key step. We want to drink fluids that have minerals in them. Adding a pinch of Baja Gold sea salt or Celtic salt to your drinking water throughout the day will not only keep you hydrated but will keep you mineralized and help you flush out toxins that may be leading to inflammation.
