Exercise and the Immune System

5/9/2020

0 Comments

 
Working out for just an hour may give your immune system a short-term advantage, however prolonged very intense workouts may have the opposite effect because of the immune-suppressive effect of cortisol.  Firm conclusions regarding the immune system are difficult to make since most studies only look at a few aspects of immune function, and immune systems can be quite complex. Certain factors like preexisting 
health conditions, age, and type of workout may impact the immune response to exercise.  However, exercise in moderation is unlikely to enhance your risk of infection and may even lower it.  Also, when you consider other health benefits, exercise is an easy decision.  On the other hand, err on the side of caution if you feel like you are coming down with something and skip your workout if you're running a fever, have body aches or productive cough.  Remember that sleep is also vital, and most people require 8-9 hours of sleep for optimal health.

Weight Training and Aerobic Exercise

Don't stop the cardio portions of your workout because, as we have all heard, it lowers the risk of cardiovascular disease.  It may also improve oxygen delivery and lower blood pressure.  Resistance training also has a positive impact on the cardiovascular system.  Training your muscles is especially important as we age and will help you maintain a healthy body composition, so don't neglect weights.  It is important to implement both strength training and cardio into you routine.

As we celebrate our nation’s Independence Day this Fourth of July let’s remember what we are celebrating. Over two hundred and forty years ago the citizens of the thirteen American colonies became the United States and began the struggle for political independence from Great Britain. This 4th of July, you might be thinking, "how can I work on becoming a more ‘independent’ person?" Would you like to have more control over your health and well being? Here are three simple health tips that can quickly increase your fitness independence:
1. Don’t eat when you are not hungry and stay hydrated.
2. Don’t stay up when you should be sleeping.
3. Don’t wait to start a fitness program. There is no time like NOW to get started.

​May freedom ring in your life and the world today!
