so today we’re gonna talk about what exercise can do to your immune system if

you’re doing regular consistent exercise you can greatly enhance your immune

system number one you’ll have a heightened immune surveillance now what

does that mean well on the internal part of your body

you have a barrier it’s all the internal skin and the size of that surface area

would be about four hundred square meters the size of two tennis courts and

so you have immune cells they’re called phagocytes that are guards that do

surveillance and they are constantly looking for invaders pathogens to

actually come across the barrier to attack them and eat them so exercise

will enhance your phagocyte protection and your defense mechanism number two

it’ll increase lymph circulation what is the lymphatic system well you

have a circulatory system where blood is traveling through your arteries and then

it goes down into these small little capillaries where the blood then can

cross into your tissues and it forms lymph

so the lymph system is like your backup system to the circulatory system then it

goes all through the body through your lymph system where then it dumps back

into the circulatory system so your lymph system is a backup to your

circulatory system as well as a place to consolidate immune reactions to keep the

immune reactions out of certain organs and tissues in a place where your immune

system can then fight it more effectively the problem with the lymph

system is it doesn’t have a pump exercise will increase the lymph flow

through your body number three exercise delays the

negative effect of aging on your immune system so the more exercise you do the

younger you’re going to be because what you have to realize is that as you age

your immune system gets weaker and weaker and weaker in fact the thymus

gland which is on top of the heart which does all the training for the t-cells

literally shrinks down to nothing when you become 80 years old number four

can enhance the immune defense mechanisms as well as how fast your

immune system responds to infection and number five and I think this is probably

the most important thing is exercise can reduce mental stress and mental stress

probably has the biggest influence on weakening your immune system making you

more susceptible to getting an infection when you do exercise in the correct way

you can really lower the stress the trick with exercise is to exercise in a

way so as not to activate too much cortisol and really to do that you just

have to make sure you don’t over train and you get enough sleep the healthier

you are and the more recovery you have the less you have to worry about this so

certain people can do ultra marathons and actually not even have that phase

their immune system but other people that have higher levels of cortisol

which by the way suppresses the immune system they can get sick even when they

try to exercise a little bit but for most people doing regular consistent

exercise is extremely beneficial to your immune system thanks for watching
