In one study reported in the American Journal of Medicine, women who walked for a half hour every day for one year had half the number of colds as women who did not exercise. If you exercise regularly, this temporary increase can help make the immune system more efficient at destroying intruders that cause illness such as colds. With exercise, the number and aggressiveness of certain immune cells, such as the ones called natural killer cells, increase by as much as 50% to 300%. Regular exercise appears to have the advantage of being able to jump-start the immune system, and that can help reduce the number of viruses you get.
