Exercise
Exercise doesn’t just boost those endorphins to keep you feeling happy – it can also help you stay healthy. It’s all about those cytokines again — the same proteins released during sleep that fight illness. Cytokines are also released when you exercise. Research out of the National Center for Biotechnology Information says that these proteins are released both during and after exercise. Exercise also improves cell recruitment, the process by which the body calls upon certain cells to do special jobs, like fight illnesses. The research shows that those who engage in regular physical activity see less incidence of viral infection, less severe symptoms when infection does occur, and less mortality due to infection.
