Exercise is one of the most powerful medicines we have—and it’s completely free.
Exercise strengthens your body’s defense system.
It improves circulation, allowing immune cells and nutrients to travel more efficiently throughout your body. It also enhances lymphatic flow, helping flush out toxins and waste that can compromise immunity.
Ever curious why you feel happier after a workout? Exercise reduces stress hormones like cortisol, which, when chronically elevated, can suppress immune function and increase inflammation.
Chronic, low-grade inflammation is at the root of nearly every modern disease. But regular, moderate exercise has been shown to lower inflammatory markers, helping your immune system focus on real threats—not triggering unnecessary alarms.
About 30 minutes of moderate exercise most days of the week is enough to boost immunity without causing excess stress on the body.
So whether it’s walking, strength training, yoga, or dancing in your living room—move your body daily.
