True, which is why looking at so generally makes it seem paradoxical.

I can't recall where it read it, but I think it's the result of some phagocytic, either auto- (i.e. lysosomes, intracellular clean up) or macro- (i.e. macrophages, a type of white blood cell used from extracellular clean up).

Seems like there isn't a clear enough syntactical delineation between beneficial (exercise-linked) and harmful (disease/infection-linked) inflammation.
