What Really Causes Chronic Inflammation?
Sugar, alcohol and stress all get blamed for chronic inflammation. The real evidence is more specific — and in alcohol's case more contested — than the standard warning suggests.

A hard workout raises inflammatory markers. Regular training lowers them. Both are true — the difference comes down to context, source and duration.
The Best Everyday Foods for Training and Recovery
The “30-minute anabolic window” has shaped a decade of post-workout panic. The evidence behind it is far weaker than gym culture assumes — and the foods that actually help recovery are less about racing the clock and more about what's on the plate.
