Researchers have discovered that certain gut microbes produce short chain fatty acids (SCFAS), which in turn “reduce inflammation throughout the body.”
“Muscle-strengthening moves” have encouraged the growth of these microbes, which could be why regular exercise has been suggested for Alzheimer’s prevention. Sounds like a win-win New Year’s resolution!
If you’re thinking that this could be tedious, think again. Physical activity has been known to produce endocannabinoids, the human body’s own counterpart to plant-derived cannabis. Some call it “runner’s high,” others call it good clean fun.
