We hear much about the benefits and advantages of exercise, and how important it is for our bodies and health.
The effect exercise has comes in a variety of ways, one of them has to do with the immune system.
The immune system, in the most simple way, is what enables the body to protect itself from different "outsider" - disease, bacteria, etc..
Its strength (or weakness) is very much influenced by factors such as diet and nutrition, stress, and physical exercise.
Exercise is important to our immune system and its ability to function effectively in several manners.
For example, the cardiovascular system is strengthened.
In addition, the lymphatic system is heavily dependent on the body's regular movement.
Studies show that moderate regular exercise affects the immune cells in a way that their circulation in the bloodstream is faster, and their ability to kill bacteria is better.
Furthermore, physical activity increases the body temperature, which is significant in fighting infection effectively.
Another important issue is stress.
We all face stress at different levels and in different degrees of intensity.
Unfortunately, stress has become a major part of our daily routine.
Recently, there is much growth in comprehension and awareness of how mental and psychological stress affects the body physically.
Stress weakens the immune system, thus making it more vulnerable and accessible to germs, bacteria, and viruses.
Regular exercise helps relieve moderate anxiety and depression, and by that - giving a more "relaxed" feeling.
Also, exercise helps improve body image and self confidence, which translates into less stress.
On a different level, exercise lets you "put you worries aside" for a while, focus on the physical activity, thus giving you some kind of a break.
The benefits of regular exercise mentioned above are only a small part of a long list.
Think of what just a small portion of your time- dedicated to exercise- can do for you and your body! Think of how good you will feel - from the outside, and from the inside.
