How does carbohydrate intake impact the body’s ability to manage and recover from inflammation?

Carbohydrate intake impacts the body’s ability to manage and recover from inflammation by influencing inflammatory markers and overall immune function. Carbohydrates from whole foods, such as fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, can provide anti-inflammatory benefits due to their high content of antioxidants and fiber. Conversely, excessive consumption of refined carbohydrates and sugars can promote inflammation and hinder recovery. Balanced carbohydrate intake supports better management of inflammation and recovery.
