Regular exercise:
Swimming, walking or jogging for 30 to 60 minutes at least three times a week improves the immune system. After just a few seconds, the body begins to activate immune cells. What makes our immune system more effective. There is also evidence that regular moderate endurance sports can influence the composition of our intestinal flora.
In a small study, intestinal bacteria that produce short-chain fatty acids in particular proliferated. These, in turn, lower the pH value in the intestine, so that pathogens are less able to spread.
Good to know: You shouldn’t overdo it with training, because the immune system is even weakened during very intensive, exhausting workouts. And if you like extreme workout sessions, give yourself time to recover. Recovery is an essential part of a healthy workout routine.
