Inactivity among patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) was associated with a more than threefold increased risk for development of depression, researchers reported.
Aerobic Exercise Improves Cardio Fitness Without Raising Inflammation

Results also found no increase in signs of inflammation or oxidative stress in the exercise group compared to a control group urged to adopt a healthier lifestyle.
