If you needed an extra incentive to start hitting the gym, here it is: People who are fit get sick less, and when they do get sick it’s less intense.
Researchers conducted a study in 2008 and found that people who work out more than five times a week had 43% fewer infections than those who were out of shape.
“Of all the factors we looked at, including age, gender, education level, body weight, diet, mental stress and others, physicvity and fitness ended up being the most powerful predictor of sick days,” says Dr. David Nieman.
Basically, exercising turns your body into a well-oiled machine and ups your immune system, making you more resistance to illness.
So get out there and get your blood flowing!
