Exercise Helps Prevent Colds



There are plenty of reasons to incorporate exercise into your daily routine, but what if it could also help ward off cold and flu symptoms?

20 minutes of moderate aerobic exercise a day can boost your immune system to prevent getting sick this winter, explains an article posted by CNN.com.

Exercising increases white blood cell circulation and produces endorphins- both which have positive effects on the immune system. This can lower your chances of catching a cold, or worse yet, the flu.

While there are several other factors at play when it comes to staying healthy, this seems to be an easy way to avoid those winter cold blues.
