Dr. {od a] Specializing In Custom Wood Madeira Shutters & Blinds A ] AGS “Walk Away From Winter Colds” Add one more benefit to the growing list of good things that come from regular moderate exercise. In addition to easing depression, preventing heart attacks, increasing strength and endurance, improving sleep quality, and reducing cholesterol and weight, regular moderate exercise can reduce your risk of catching the common cold. A recent USCC set out to understand the relationship between physical activity and the risk of upper-respiratory tract infection, also known as the "common cold." Researchers estimate the average adult may be hit with two to five colds each year. The researchers studied 547 healthy adults between the ages of Custom Shutters Call 779-3079 20 and 70 (the average age was 48) After assessing the data, the USCC team found that subjects who had a moderate to high level of physical activity experienced 25% fewer colds than those whose daily activities were relatively low.

In general, these benefits were slightly more pronounced anong the men. Researchers found that the benefits of reduced risk of colds can be attained with moderate physical activity each day, such as a 30- minute walk or even mowing the lawn. In addition, high levels of physical activity may have negative effects on the immune system and could increase the risk of catching a cold. Running a marathon, for instance, can deplete the immune system defenses, leaving a runner vulnerable to colds and other illnesses in the week following a marathon race.
