Health is shaped and molded through your daily choices.
Do you know the scientific outcome of your daily life?.
Question number 49 in our Scandinavian.fitness School here at 'a Norse View'.
Physical activity & fitness exercise of various levels, intensity, and volume improve many aspects of our human health. Including a highly beneficial effect on musculoskeletal health no matter gender or age.
Other factors include improving our metabolic and cognitive health & functions.
As a result, regular life long fitness.....
Reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases.. Diabetes, and several types of cancer.
Greatly reduced osteoporosis as well as depression and improved volume and capacity of our physical gray matter mass, are other areas of our life long health that benefit substantially from daily physical activity and regular fitness.
But, will intense regular fitness exercise also reduce inflammation throughout our bodies?....
Because if so, that would provide huge health benefits all by itself. Simply put, less inflammation in our bodies reduces heart health risk and the onset of cognitive decline and biological aging amongst other things.
So read on beyond the break and let us take a look at how intense fitness might reduce inflammation too.
So the question...
Will regular fitness activity reduce the onslaught of inflammation throughout our bodies? And if so, is this true for intense fitness as well?

1.
While it is true that delayed onset muscle soreness (doms) is a physical inflammatory response of its own, fact of the matter is that regular physical activity greatly reduces damaging inflammations throughout our entire body. And this holds true for intense fitness too.
2.
Intense fitness actually increases physical inflammation.
Study after study last few years have showcased in various ways that physical exercise and activity reduces inflammation in our bodies and brains. No matter if we are talking about low intense activies such as daily walks. Or challenging weight lifting in the gym, running and jogging, swimming or martial arts.
In one such study published in 2020 the team focused in on intense physical fitness and how the body responded to that in regards to inflammation.
The result..
Twenty-nine male subjects completed a 6-week exercise plan. And three blood samples were taken at different times during the study.
The test results showcased that IgG N-glycosylation profiles showed anti-inflammatory changes in the intense fitness group compared to the sedentary control group. Other positive changes was a clear decrease in agalactosylated and an increase in digalactosylated and monosialylated N-glycans.
Why is this an important aspect of regular physical activity and challenging fitness exercise as far as our health and wellbeing goes?
Because numerous studies tells us that glycosylation patterns both changes due to, and causes deterioating chronic inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis (Parekh et al., 1985), inflammatory bowel disease (Trbojević Akmačić et al., 2015), systemic lupus erythematosus (Tomana et al., 1992), diabetes mellitus (Keser et al., 2017), cardiovascular disease risk and subclinical atherosclerosis (Menni et al., 2018), and cancer too (Ohtsubo and Marth, 2006; Moremen et al., 2012; Pinho and Reis, 2015).
Demonstrating the impact of inflammations in a multitude of chronic diseases. And as such, making the case for life long, regular fitness and physical activities even clearer.
