Inflammation within the body is the result of the immune system defending the body from harm. This can, in turn, lead to enduring tissue damage, which can be linked to diabetes, obesity, and even heart disease. Fortunately, recent studies indicate that even moderate exercise can help reduce this inflammation. Much remains unclear about the full impact of inflammation on the body or the full value of exercise intensity in its reduction; however, it does seem clear that even moderate walking can decrease inflammation causing cells by five percent.
