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
Inflammation is measurable. Where are the studies correlating inflammation measured via whatever medical scans to depression diagnoses?
An incomplete article if the studies exist and weren’t mentioned. A useless hypothesis if the guy is already authoring books but hasn’t done any studies yet.
All the most useful health advice comes from thinly-disguised book ads posted by new accounts. Don’t smoke, move once in a while, sleep is good? Wow, revolutionary stuff, doc.
definition of “inflammatory food” please? all i can see online is “everything that’s not good for you”
anything that tastes good and you enjoy
So everything and nothing? Yay ! I now know how to fight my depression
I tried to look it up once and found a whole bunch of lists that contradicted each other. So I gave up.
My mother in law is eating an “anti inflammation” diet because she thinks it will cure her arthritis and she’s severely underweight and definitely not healthy.
From John Hopkins:
What foods cause inflammation? Unfortunately, a lot of them. In particular, experts recommend avoiding these inflammatory foods:
- Red meat
- Processed meat
- Commercial baked goods such as snack cakes, pies, cookies
- Bread and pasta made with white flour
- Deep fried items such as French fries, fried chicken and donuts
- Foods high in added sugar

From Harvard:
An anti-inflammatory diet should include these foods:
- tomatoes
- olive oil
- green leafy vegetables, such as spinach, kale, and collards
- nuts like almonds and walnuts
- fatty fish like salmon, mackerel, tuna, and sardines
- fruits such as strawberries, blueberries, cherries, and oranges

Only “up to one third can be fixed by avoiding inflammation”
So, he’s going to give almost the same advice as everyone else and not even help the other ~66%, and that’s “up to” so it could actually only fix less than that, he didn’t give a lower bound, could be less than 1%.
Is this science-backed?
Science now has two outlets:
-
you can pay money to publish in a scientific journal and get critiqued by other scientists…
-
or you can get paid to publish on Amazon and get praised by idiots (while also getting critiqued by other scientists…which won’t matter because by the time your book is popular enough for peers to notice, you’ve already got an army of idiots to drown them out)
Take a wild gander as to which this likely is.

There’s a lot of physical activity in my job, I don’t drink coffee past 7 am, I don’t live in a city, i eat a healthy diet, i hardly drink, and whatever else was listed, and I still have anxiety even with meds. The only inflammation happening is in my consciousness of how fucked the world is and how fucking bleak the future looks. Once the world is fixed, then people can shed their anxiety and depression.
he looks like the kids in the hall had a baby
So this scientist believes this? Huh.
You should know 😜
“Doing these things that everyone already agrees are healthy could make you healthier!” The biggest non-story I have ever read. No shit I need to eat healthy food, exercise and get enough sleep. No fucking shit.
Go away Davrielle Louna and take your endless stream of spam alts with you.
I’ll need some backstory.
it’s spam/troll downvote to fuck
I mean how do they know the name?
click on their profile look at the Scottish post, IDK all I know is someone is spam
Whose profile? I checked OP’s and OC’s, couldn’t find a Scottish post. OP only has this post up. Which seems very spammy, but I’m curious about the name OC is attributing to OP.
Also, you should avoid social media.
You don’t need to watch videos of people being killed in Iran/Palestine/Ukraine
This shit is terrible for you.
