The Claim
In healthy active older adults, resistance training combined with daily dairy milk consumption increases resting plasma IL-10 concentration by 88% after 12 weeks, and this increase is not observed with resistance training or dairy milk alone.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
In healthy older adults who exercise regularly, combining daily milk drinking with resistance training raises levels of the anti-inflammatory molecule IL-10 in the blood by 88% after 12 weeks, while either intervention alone does not produce this change.
See the scientific wording
In healthy active older adults, resistance training combined with daily dairy milk consumption increases resting plasma IL-10 concentration by 88% after 12 weeks, suggesting a potential anti-inflammatory effect not observed with resistance training or dairy milk alone, which may contribute to improved muscle adaptation.
Drinking dairy milk and doing strength training together trigger gut bacteria to produce signals that activate immune cells to release more IL-10, a chemical that reduces inflammation. This lower inflammation allows muscles to grow stronger more effectively after exercise.
What the research says
1 studyWhen older adults did strength training and drank milk every day, their blood showed a big jump in a helpful anti-inflammatory chemical—88% higher than before. Neither strength training alone nor milk alone did this, so the combo worked better.
