Best Hope Against Coronavirus COVID-19 How can you Protect.
#Health & Beauty Club
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has raised a lot of questions regarding how exercise can protect us from infection by boosting immunity. This is becoming more pertinent as many of us have restricted access to the gyms and parks where we would normally undertake exercise and physical activity regimens. Compounding this problem are the known negative effects of social isolation and confinement on immunity. Glucocorticoids such as cortisol are elevated during periods of isolation and confinement and can inhibit many critical functions of our immune system. When we are stressed, the ability of our T-cells to multiply in response to infectious agents is markedly reduced, as is the ability of certain effector lymphocytes to recognize and kill cells in our body that have become cancerous or have been infected with viruses.
Exercise can maximize your chances of fighting the deadly virus – as a string of studies have shown it can influence the the body’s immune system.
Regular stints of moderate-intensity exercise can have a positive effect by reducing our susceptibility to infection.
