The Benefits of Exercise Tip #2- Better Immune Fuction
Discover all the great things you never knew you’d get out of a regular exercise routine:
Strengthen your immune system! Physical activity may help flush bacteria out of the lungs and airways. This may reduce your chance of getting a cold, flu, or other illness.
Exercise also causes change in antibodies and white blood cells (WBC). WBCs are the body’s
immune system cells that fight disease. These antibodies or WBCs circulate more rapidly, so they could detect illnesses earlier than they might have before. Increased
circulation of worker T cells reduces sick days by 25 to 50%!
The Benefits of Exercise Tip #1- Reduce Anxiety!
Discover all the great things you never knew you’d get out of a regular exercise routine:
A regular cardio and strength training routine can help reduce stress levels and relieve anxiety. Stress is a common cause of sleep problems, including trouble falling asleep and sleeping restlessly during the night. A potent remedy for anxiety and other mood disorders—just 5 minutes of exercise can trigger anti-anxiety responses in the body! Mind-body exercise such as yoga and stretching can help quiet the parasympathetic nervous system, which can help you relax and lower cortisol levels and blood pressure. Not sure what to do?
