Exercise Plays a Key Role in Immune Health

health

Moderate, consistent exercise is widely recognized for supporting immune function. Research suggests regular physical activity enhances immune surveillance, improves circulation of immune cells and reduces chronic inflammation.

However, extremely intense or prolonged training without adequate recovery may temporarily suppress certain immune responses. Balanced training programs that include recovery, nutrition and sleep support the body’s natural defense systems.
