Build a Habit of Exercise to Establish a Powerful Immune System
Do you get sick a lot? Or better yet, want to prevent diseases (like COVID-19?)
There are people selling lots of products out there, but the best one, is as they say, comes from "sweat equity".
This usually refers to "working hard" at something- but in this case, it's a literal thing.
Sweating, through moderate exercise, can really help your immune system.
The exact mechanism is not fully understood, but these are some factors:
- Your heart is moving at a more rapid rate, increasing the number of times your blood moves through the body, and also through the liver which is a detoxifying organ
- Your body temperature gets elevated and this may help control any bacterial populations in your body
- The increased breathing force and rate allows your lungs to clear any pathogens
- Your immune system cells (white cells) become elevated after consistent exercise
- Your immune regulation improves when faced with consistent exercise
These are just a few things we know that you get from exercise.
Now couple it with being outside, getting sunlight, which in the right times of the year help to convert Vitamin D which is essential in protecting your body from cancer and illness, and you've got a free and powerful formula to get yourself "in shape" for any pathogens that come your way.
