- Lets
focus on the bond between exercise and immunity:
- Exercise of physical activity causes change in antibodies and white blood cells (WBC). WBCs are the body’s immune system cells that fight disease and infections.
- Researchers found that regular walking may lead to a higher number of white blood cells, which fight infections. In another study, researchers found that in 65 year olds who did regular exercise, the number of T-cells – a specific type of white blood cell – was as high as those of people in their 30s. (WebMD, Oct, 2017)
- B-cells are like the body’s military intelligence system, seeking out their targets, T-cells are engaged in direct cell on cell warfare. T-cells are like the soldiers, destroying the foreign invaders within the body identified by the B –cells.
- Exercise helps in raising the body temperature. The brief rise in body temperature during and right after may help the body fight infection better. Physical activity help flush bacteria out of the lungs and airways. This actually reduces the chance of getting a cold, flu, or other respiratory illness.
- Exercise slows down the release of stress hormones. Some stress increases the chance of illness. Lower stress hormones may protect against illness. Eg: Adrenaline increase the heart rate, elevates blood pressure, Cortisol, the primary stress hormone , increase sugars (glucose) in the bloodstream. (Medline Plus, May, 2020).
- Exercise increase the release of the happy hormones like Oxytocin, Endorphin, Serotonin and Dopamine. These in turn helps to boost our body immunity.
- Exercise actually helps to maintain the hormonal homeostasis.
- Obesity is another every serious health problem which subsequently raise many other health related issues and reduces immunity. Exercise is one of the important tool to control obesity.
- Being in isolation without access to gyms and sports clubs should not mean people stop exercising This is according to a new study not mean people stop exercising This is according to a new study from researchers at the University of Bath. Keeping up regular, daily exercise at a time when much of the world is going into isolation will play an important role in helping to maintain a healthy immune system. (Science Daily March, 2020)
- Today’s evidence of the infected corona virus patients which was telecast all over the media, shows that people with chronic respiratory problems, diabetes, lungs disorders, heart problem, any type of cancer, to sum up, all immunocompromised people are more susceptible to this virus.
- Since it is evident from all supported academic sources that exercise is important for better lifestyle and health, exercise remains as a fact that is one among the very important factors to improve the body’s immune system.
