This could be a bigger health benefit than is being mentioned here, in my opinion.
From a quick skim of pthe paper, it seems “cyclic stretching” is key:
“Strikingly, cyclic stretch resulted in a strong dephosphorylation of BAG3 within the first hour of treatment, before phosphorylation returned to control level at 4 h (Figure 1E).”
I don’t think this means “stretching,” as we would think it, as the writeup speaks to “intensity level of strength training,” but you should hit it well with both stretching and multiple repetitions.
I did not skim the whole paper to get all the details.
In other words,
“MOVE”
Moving your body/muscles is how you move the lymph fluid around your body. The lymph system is the system that is the sewer drain that brings cellular waster to be recycled or eliminated, but theres no heart providing pressure to move the fluid, body movement is mainly what does it. So that means exercise, stretching, massage. Not sure why they think this is a new thing, its well-known already.
.
There is much talk about rebounding to get the lymph system moving. Dr. Berg has a YT vid on the mechanics of the thing. Is low-impact for oldies like me!
Of all your posts this year, this one actually makes the grade.
No offense. I’m shocked that it even got published. Yes, color me jaded on nearly all medical research/reporting.
The question now is whether this will have any impact upon the greater populace and/or government policies and/or the IFC (industrial food complex).
I predict statistically zero on all counts (i.e., it will either be ignored or demonized/discredited).
