No I am not trying to name the seven dwarfs...its everyone around me. Sneezing and coughing and stuffed up-miserable! And you know what I am going to say.. exercise. Yes, I am serious.Exercise not only helps your immune system fight off simple bacterial and viral infections, but it may actually decrease the incidence of illnesses such as heart disease, osteoporosis, and cancer.

There are a few theories on how this happens.

1)may help by flushing bacteria out from the lungs

2) exercise is responsible for sending antibodies and white blood cells (the body's defense cells) through the body at a quicker rate.

3)the temporary elevation of body temperature may inhibit bacterial growth, allowing the body to fight the infection more effectively.

And so on.

Just try it. I have felt better every night after a fitness class. I bet you will too.
