A summer exercise to improve your immunity

Participating in more physical exercise in life can better improve the body's immune ability. So what are some daily exercises that can improve immunity?

Four exercises that can boost your immunity

1. Swimming

When swimming, the stimulation of the water temperature on the skin causes the blood vessels in the skin to contract sharply. After a strong contraction of the blood vessels, there will be a corresponding dilation. In this way, the expansion and contraction of the blood vessels can be exercised, thereby regulating the body's immunity and improving resistance. Especially when swimming in winter, it can also improve the body's ability to adapt to cold, stimulate and promote blood circulation and metabolism, increase the sensitivity of body temperature regulation, and enhance the body's ability to adapt to external cold and hot temperature changes.

2. Brisk walking

"Brisk walking" as a form of national fitness promotion is the safest way of exercise. Since the amount of exercise is small, it can be done every day, and it is best to walk for 30 to 40 minutes each time. Brisk walking can regulate immunity, improve disease resistance, and speed up recovery after illness. People who are not used to exercising or who seldom exercise should avoid excessive exercise at first, and the exercise time should not exceed 1 hour.

3. Jogging

Jogging outdoors is the best way to improve your physical fitness. Long-term jogging can enhance the respiratory system's adaptation to temperature, improve resistance, and regulate the proportion of white blood cells, macrophages, lymphocytes, etc. in the blood, which can devour cancer cells that may occur in the human body. When jogging, you should pay attention to controlling the amount of exercise, not too fast, so that you can breathe normally. Remember to inhale through the nose and exhale through the mouth.

4. Yoga

The thymus is the center of cellular immunity in the body and is located in the mediastinum of the chest cavity. Its main function is to regulate the proportion of T lymphocytes and secrete thymus hormones, so that the body maintains cellular immune function and kills foreign pathogens. Many yoga poses and breathing techniques have the function of stimulating the thymus gland, thereby improving the body's immune capacity by stimulating the secretion of the thymus gland.
