In episode 20 of my Physical Exercise and NCDs Series, we explore a fundamental yet often overlooked topic in preventive health: how exercise strengthens the immune system and protects us from non-communicable diseases (NCDs).
Regular physical activity does far more than build strength or improve endurance. When you exercise, your body activates a chain of biological processes that enhance immune function. Movement stimulates the circulation of vital immune cells—such as T-cells and natural killer cells—that help your body identify and eliminate harmful pathogens.
This increased cellular activity boosts your natural defense mechanisms, making you less susceptible to infections and chronic conditions.
