Sometimes it's difficult to get motivated to exercise. But, as Carissa Maines tells us in this Bobcat Update, staying healthy ought to be reason enough for anyone.
Cold and flu season is upon us, and there are ways to prevent coming down with a bug. For example, getting a good night's rest and using anti-bacterial soap can help. Another step to consider is exercise. According to a recent study at Appalachian State University, those who exercised more than five times a week had 43 percent fewer upper respiratory infections than those who were less active. Moderate exercise benefits the immune system by increasing the body's sentry immune cells. This, in turn, helps the body fight off or maybe even avoid colds or the flu. Exercise helps the immune system function more efficiently and get rid of all the toxins in the body.
