Inflammation can cause stress and other physical problems, which can make some people put off or avoid exercise. Not exercising is one of the worst things you can do for your body, especially if you have inflammation. Among other things, a sedentary lifestyle can lead to metabolic syndrome, a major cause of inflammation.

In Part 4, we show you how to reduce stress—including how to quit smoking if that’s a problem for you—and get the exercise you need to cut down on the negative effects of inflammation.

We also explore several popular and special diets and take a look at how they fit into your anti-inflammation lifestyle. In addition, we share tips and even more mouthwatering recipes to try if you eat a low-salt, gluten-free, or other special diet.
