Start Running Today - Scientific Research Proves Running Boosts Your Immune System

There is nothing better than a strong immune system. It quite simply means that you get sick less often and when you get sick the symptoms are a lot less severe. And so in our quest to get a stronger immune system we turn to "magic cures". This can be anything from special berries that claim magical properties to vitamin tablets and more. However while millions of dollars of advertising revenue push these wonder cures on us, very few are backed by scientific research. It's one thing to have some doctor nodding his agreement in a million dollar commercial, it quite another to have hard research proving the claim appearing in an academic research journal.

However, unless you are academically minded and keen on spending hours trolling through verbose, complex research journals you are unlikely to find out what really works to boost your immune system. So understandably we rely on the TV commercial, and spend all our hard earned cash on the latest "wonder cure". Yet hidden inside these complex journals are thousands of proofs showing what is the most effective way to boost your immunity. If you are a budding researcher head on over to Google Scholar and search for "running boosts immunity" and you will find all the proof you need. Here are some examples of the amazing research that is found in academic journals relating to how running easy is proven to be the most effective way to boost your immune system.

We live in a world of "no pain no gain" mentality. And so when it comes to getting fit, getting healthy and losing weight we assume there must be pain and suffering. However research shows that the adage "Less is More" applies when it comes to running. It's all about running at an easy, comfortable pace. Not only is staying at a pace where you can hold a comfortable conversation best for weight loss and fitness it's best for boosting your immune system.

If you are unfit your immune level is low. As you begin to run, your immune level increases. However once you put your body under stress, your immune level actually drops off.

Research published in the Journal of Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise found that "moderate levels of physical activity are associated with a reduced risk of UTRI (Upper Track Respirotry Infection)". In English - moderate levels (running easy) of exercise will reduce the risk of illness. So, if you run easy you'll get healthier. However, not running at all, and you are more likely to get sick. Over doing your running, and you're more likely to get sick.

It all comes back to - "Less is More" - and with Running Easy it means More Health, More Fitness, More Life!
