A Brief Study Of The Importance Of Exercise To The Immune System



 Science has shown that there are many organism that cannot be seen without the aid of the microscope. One way or the other, these harmful organisms can find their way into our body through varying degrees of body contact and openings. For example, they can find their way into the body through the mouth  while eating with un washed or not properly washed hands. Our hands cannot stay clean for 24 hours everyday. And we sometimes touch our eye with the hands as well. These organisms are known as viruses.

The dictionary definition of virus :
"(pathology) A submicroscopic infectious organism, now understood to be a non-cellular structure consisting of a core of DNA or RNA surrounded by a protein coat. It requires a living cell to replicate, and often causes disease in the host organism".

 The immune system helps to fight off this infectious organism and this is where exercising comes in.

 THE ROLE OF EXERCISE 



 Research has shown that exercise can boost the immune system and we live a sedentary lifestyle, the immune system performance is usually low. As a matter of fact, while doing an exercise, the immune system can boosted to 75% while also destroying the organism at the same time. This is usually the case when we exercise and the effect continues after we exercise. Virus can survive longer in cells when the body is not involved in exercise but cannot survive for long in cells when the body is physically active.

Benefits and risk of exercises in old age..

By -
The veterens now provide competition at local , national and international level for an increasing number of old athletes. However there is a certain risks associated with exercise for older people that can be minimized by adequate medical screening as well as an awareness of, and appropriate response to warning symptoms. BENEFITS OF EXERCISE Exercise benfits whole body as well as psyche. The most benefits found in cardiovascular system thats why exercise decreased morbidity, mortality, and symptoms, and reduce cardiac rehospitalization. Exercise increased the demand on myocardium improves oxygen utilization, dilates capillaries and improves  the delivery of oxygen and other nutrients to the muscles. Inside the cells  the number of mitochondria increases enhancing aerobic metabolism. Exercise tends to lower the resting heart rate and resultant increased diastolic time allows improved coronary blood flow.. Exercise lowers the blood pressure andreduce obesity, these two ...

7 Common Habits That Lead To Weight Gain

1) Eating Late: It is advisable and recommended that supper should be taken before 7pm in the evening because it aids weight loss. By eating before seven, you are able to fast for like 13-14 hours before taking your next meal ( breakfast). Therefore your body is able to finish digestion and absorption phase before you load your body with another one again. Check out this research from washingtonpost.com: “ For years , we said a calorie is a calorie no matter when you consume it ,” says dietitian Joy Dubost, a spokeswoman for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. “ I don ’t know if we can say that anymore , based on the emerging research. The timing of a meal may potentially have an impact. ”Most of the major studies on late -night eating have been conducted with animals ,night -shift workers and people who , due to a disorder called night eating syndrome, consume at least 25 percent of their daily calories after supper or who wake up to eat at least twice a week . Studies te...

ATHLETES AND RISK OF HYPOTHERMIA

By -
As we know athletes move throughout the world for their competition and training sessions. So they are encounterd by cold weather also and have to manage the risk of hypothermia because Cold weather facilitates the loss of body heat which can reduce body temperature. But it can managed by heat conservation or by increased heat production. Exercise and shivering increase metabolic heat production helping to offset body heat losses in the cold. Exercise increases peripheral blood flow facilitating heatloss, an effect that can persist for some time after exercise ceases. Prolonged exercises may lead to energy substrate depletion which compromise the maintenance of thermal balance during cold. The heat transfer coefficient is mainly influenced by ambient temprature, wind chill and clothing, when vasoconstrictor responses to cold are impaired body heat conservation declines. Chronic exertion impairs temperature control, when heavy physical activity in the cold is coupled with underfeedin...
