Types of Exercises

There are many types of exercises but the following exercises are those which can support strengthening of the immune system. 

1) Walking: Regular moderate exercise such as 30 minutes active walk is beneficial in maintaining a sound immune system. Daily routine can increase the number of immune cells. One study said that those who walked for 30 to 45 minutes a day had 43 percent less sick days than those who didn’t. When walking, it is important to start pacing at a moderate rate first and gradually increase the intensity of the routine. 

2) Aerobic Exercise: Aerobic is the type of exercise where breathing controls the amount of oxygen that can make it to the muscles to help them burn fuel and move. Aerobic exercise is the best for the heart and helps maintain a healthy weight, decreasing chances of developing heart diseases, diabetes, stroke, and cancer. Aerobic exercises tend to elevate the body temperature, which helps fight infection in the body. Aerobic activities should be done at least 30 minutes a day to maintain the optimal health..

3) Strength Building and Training: It is also known as immunity booster exercise. Regular and continuous strength training allows the body to constantly stretch to repair muscles and leave them stronger. This type of exercise requires the use of assistive devices such as springs or dumbbells. Strength training helps burn calories, reduce fat, and improve muscle mass in older adults.
