Micronutrients & recovery
Dietary interventions rich in antioxidants, specifically extra virgin olive oil, fruits, and vegetables, lower levels of inflammatory markers (IL-6, TNF-alpha) and downregulate NF-kappaB pathway genes in PBMCs.
Incorporate antioxidant-rich foods like extra virgin olive oil, fruits, and vegetables into your diet. These foods actively lower inflammatory markers like IL-6 and reduce the activity of inflammatory pathways, helping to manage systemic inflammation.
