Episode description
Story at-a-glance
- Macrophages and mitochondria are immune partners; macrophages clear germs and control inflammation, while mitochondria power cells and signal macrophages to manage inflammation effectively
- Mitochondria's complex III produces superoxide, signaling macrophages to release IL-10, the "off switch" for inflammation — key for preventing chronic and autoimmune issues
- Research showed impaired mitochondrial complex III reduces IL-10, causing unchecked inflammation and severe illness, highlighting mitochondria's important immune regulatory role
- Naturally boost IL-10 through fiber-rich foods for butyrate, sunshine exposure, exercise and spices like garlic to enhance your body's inflammation control mechanisms
- Healthy mitochondria, threatened by seed oils in processed foods and toxins, are essential for energy and immunity; lifestyle choices significantly impact mitochondrial function and overall well-being
