Scientists, in their white coats and holding test tubes, have made a discovery that could dramatically slow the aging process. It involves an antibody treatment against a naughty protein, IL-11, that likely causes inflammation, particularly as we age. Unfortunately it is not currently available for human use. Rats! But it does work in mice! So if you know any mice….
Meanwhile, an anti-inflammatory diet, getting regular sun exposure to optimize vitamin D production, and engaging in consistent exercise can reduce inflammation. The diet…. the usual fruits, veggies, oily fish, nuts, seeds, whole grains and legumes. Bacon is conspicuously missing from this list.
