Physical Activity Protects the Human Brain against Metabolic Stress Induced by a Postprandial and Chronic Inflammation by Leo Pruimboom, Charles L. Raison, Frits A. J. Muskiet

“…Given that even minor increases in chronic inflammation reduce brain volume in otherwise healthy individuals, the bidirectional relationship between inflammation and sedentary behaviour may explain why humans have lost brain volume in the last 30,000 years and also intelligence in the last 30 years. We review evidence that lack of physical activity induces chronic low-grade inflammation and, consequently, an energy conflict between the selfish immune system and the selfish brain. …”
