Description

Exercise has long been thought to weaken the immune system and make your body more susceptible to infections. However, recent science challenges this belief and suggests exercise may indeed make you more resistant to infections. In this episode we discuss the basics of the immune system, problems with early studies suggesting exercise weakens the immune system and how exercise works to improve your immune response, resulting in less infections.
