Ways to reduce inflammation

Andrew Huberman has discussed several methods to reduce inflammation:

1. Nutritional Supplements: Omega-3 fatty acids, Vitamin D, and Magnesium malate are recommended to manage inflammation. Omega-3s, in particular, should be above 1000 milligrams of EPA per day 1.

2. Fermented Foods: Consuming 2-4 servings of low-sugar fermented foods daily, such as kimchi, sauerkraut, and natto, can improve the gut microbiome and reduce inflammatory markers 2.

3. Reducing Fructose and Oxidative Stress: Limiting intake of high-fructose foods and monitoring chocolate consumption, especially types high in cadmium like South American chocolate, can reduce systemic inflammation 3.

4. Red Light Therapy: While more evidence is needed, systemic and local red light therapy could potentially help in managing inflammation related to chronic pain conditions like fibromyalgia 4.

5. Breathing Techniques: Specific patterns of breathing, which release epinephrine, have been shown to activate the immune system and reduce inflammation 5.

6. Proper Recovery After Injury: Avoiding immediate use of anti-inflammatories and ice after injury can help the body initiate a natural and necessary inflammatory response for healing. Supplements like omega-3s and Curcumin can aid this process appropriately 6.

Implementing these strategies may help manage and reduce inflammation effectively. Always consult healthcare professionals before starting any new treatment or supplement regimen.
