Any kind of exercise gets your lymphatic fluid flowing and that’s where many of your immune cells are. This allows the white blood cells to circulate around the body better and perform a surveillance function.
A single session of exercise can lead to inflammation, but this in turn promotes an overall an anti-inflammatory response.
Regular exercise also helps us to maintain a healthy bodyweight and muscle mass, which are known to be important to the immune system, as well as relieving stress which has an indirect effect on overall wellbeing and immunity.
