Inflammation is caused by storing so much fat that fat cells swell, rupture, and get damaged, attracting the immune system. This systemic inflammation is like 'a slow burn' causing widespread damage. Physical activity turns down inflammation by producing interleukin-6 (IL-6) at high levels, which is anti-inflammatory, counteracting the inflammation from excess body fat and sugar.

“inflammation is caused by basically by getting you store so much fat in your cells that those fat cells start to swell... that damage attracts the immune system... Your muscles are producing a molecule called interleukin-6, IL-6 that in low levels is pro-inflammatory, but at high levels, it's actually anti-inflammatory.”
