Exercises That Boost Immunity

IS Sleep Deprivation The Real Reason You Can’t Lose Weight? | Main Page | Moderate Exercise For Heart Health

Hope you had fun experimenting with grains, onions and lamb!

Today, let’s talk about exercise. First of all, when you complete a regular aerobic exercise routine, all of your body functions improve. Your heart is able to circulate blood more efficiently and the exercise helps your body sweat out those extra stress hormones like cortisol which compromises our immune system. Now, I’m not talking about running for an hour… According to some recent studies, that can have the opposite effect on your immune system. I’m talking regular, moderate exercise. Moderate exercise is something like 20 -30 minutes of brisk walking, hiking, or biking.

Secondly, when you add a meditative Yoga practice to your morning routine, you give those stress hormones a double whammy. The less stress hormones in the body, the healthier your immune system.

Ommmmmmmm

Best of Health,
