Edward Bullmore is chairman of the Psychiatry Department at Cambridge University. His scientific work has focus on developing new computational tools for analysis of the network organization of the human brain.

Cambridge University is one of the world’s leading university.

According to Professor Bullmore’s research, body inflammation always leads to brain inflammation. When the brain suffers from inflammation, humans are significantly more likely to suffer from anxiety and depression.

Professor Bullmore believes the modern world is currently facing an epidemic of mental health diseases. He believes up to one third of anxiety and depression can be fixed by avoiding inflammation.

This means:

• Exercice 30 minutes every single day. Exercice is a very powerful weapon to fight inflammation. It is as effective as some medications.

• Avoid all ultra-processed food. Avoid sugar. Limit or avoid red meat. All are linked to inflammation

• Eat a lot of vegetables, fruits, olive oil, oily fish, mushrooms and nuts. The more, the better. They are tremendously good for you.

• Use vaccines. They reduce inflammation. There is growing evidence that vaccines protect the brain

• Don’t smoke. Smoking is linked to inflammation.

• Avoid cities with a lot of traffic. Air pollution from cars is linked to brain inflammation. Noise from cars is linked to inflammation.

• Try to have a good night of sleep. Avoid coffee after 11:AM. Avoid screens after 10:PM. Sleeping helps the body fight inflammation.

• Don’t sit more than 45 minutes. Sitting too much leads to inflammation. The human body isn’t designed to be sitting
