Regular exercise reduces the risk of colds

Regular exercise reduces the risk of colds

A new U.S. study offers scientific evidence for speculation of a lot of people about the impact of sport on the common cold: those who practice sport regularly and keep fit, get in the fall and winter is rarely cold, and even if it was cold, the symptoms of common cold is not severe on the body sports.

So that our body and our immune system strong against any cold should be sufficient to move the body for five days a week at least, exercise and movement, at least twenty minutes each time to start sweating the body is simple. These are the results of a study of more than 1000 participants conducted by researchers around the sport and its impact on the common cold and its symptoms.

People who move often, were less likely than a cold injury by 50% compared with people who practiced sports in one day or less per week. Scientists believe that sport is working to stimulate the immune system so it becomes stronger in his defense against bacteria and viruses.

The scientists in their study on the experience with 1002 of people who were between the ages of 18 and 85 years, and that carried out surveillance during the period of time amounted to twelve weeks. In addition to monitoring their movements and regular daily exercise of the movement and sports scientists also study the patterns of their lives and their diet and of whether exposure to one of them filled with tension and periods of stress recently.

Sport and Movement for scientists is a movement and any activity carried out by the body that goes on and twenty minutes of which are increasing in either heart rate and sweating practitioners or increasing the rate of breathing. And business activities that the scientists are inserted cycling, jogging, swimming, walking, climbing stairs and also do housework in the garden or orchard.

Scientists working on the preparation of a statistical table showing the duration of movement and activity and self-assessment to the participants about their health and fitness. Which showed this statistic that the rate of infection caught cold when activists and athletes were 50% less than non-activists, not only this but the symptoms such as cough and stuffy nose and pain was also lower by as much between 30 and 40 percent compared with the participants non-athletes .

Through movement and sports spread immune cells in the body, as researchers explain the reasons for this effect. Even though the animation effect on the body for a few hours only, this also increases the likelihood of discovery of the body to germs and viruses and spending on harmful bacteria. But the scientists also warn against relying also on previous studies of over-exercise and intense training and his wealth of more negative effects on the immune system and increases the likelihood of infection.

Health and movement: walking an effective weapon against the loss of memory and forgetting

Health and movement: walking an effective weapon against the loss of memory and forgetting

Walking constantly keep the mind in good health, if the exercise of walking and walking for a distance of ten kilometers at least a week keeps your brain on its size and greatly help in the prevention of memory loss and forgetfulness. These are the results of long study conducted by U.S. researchers with 299 participants volunteered in this study. The study was published in the Journal of Neurology, and this proof and that sport is an important result and the movement is not only healthy for the body, but also of the mind.

Especially in old age begins to shrink the size of the brain, which can cause memory problems, says Kirk Erickson of the University of Pittsburgh. He said also if they exercise regularly in middle age improves later in brain health, memory and thinking in life, it would be a cause of the reasons for regular exercise for all age groups to maintain public health.

Ericsson and his colleagues have interviewed 299 people, who have not shown signs of dementia, for which way they walk the distance with him. After nine years the same team of scientific planning of the brain the same participants to measure the size of the brain. After four more years by the scientific team examined and diagnosed the participants whether they have been showing signs of weakness in cognition or dementia.

People who walk and walk for a distance of about 10 to 15 kilometers a week, he found the scientific team after nine years at a stable measurement in the size of their brains than those who have to walk shorter distances or less.

After four more years for the observed weakness of simple or simple signs of dementia and cognitive intellectual development at 40 percent when participants, who have to walk to a lot of 10 kilometers per week. Stability in the size of the brain as well as physical activity reduces the risk of loss of memory and forgetting rate of 50 percent. These results the researchers hope to encourage in regular exercise, especially for the elderly instead of fighting the disease with drugs and medicines for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.

Long and arduous sport (marathon) hurt the heart

Long and arduous sport (marathon) hurt the heart

Did not have any of the athletes heart problem before the marathon, but all of them have experience in running long distances. After the end of the run, which extended for a distance of 80 km at least, the scientists observed a significant increase in the first Trboninn Troponin I in 96 percent of the participants in the race, and is a substance harmful to the heart muscle. As also noted a decline in cardiac function and degree of six percent.

Participating in marathons and long very hard causing a problem from a medical point says Professor Eckart Fleck of the Heart Institute in Berlin, Germany. He added that we know from previous studies that the marathon is very long when skiers and athletes have a high risk that may cause a lot of times injury Pplerajafan fibrillation, which causes contractions to random and irregular cells in the heart atria. Where the study revealed that the percentage of atrial fibrillation in long-distance runners, according to the survey 12.8 percent, while the ordinary people when it is 0.5 percent.

Sports labor hurt health

If the athletes exaggeration of exercise they become more susceptible to disease. This report has been published in the German health center in the city of Cologne under the supervision of Professor Ingo Froboz professor of health at the center. This phenomenon can be observed when Alambaghein athletes in the sport.

Sport in the base are protecting the body and generally enjoy the athletes body healthy and are less susceptible to disease because their immune systems are strong compared with others, but there are athletes who are just getting their exercise and often they stress the body overworked without attention by, for they are always seeking their abilities to overcome the barrier, and this is what weakens the immune system they have, and thus weaken their resistance against pathogens and viruses.

If sports were a moderate and reasonable the hormone adrenaline to activate the immune system of the first hour of exercise and over time becomes the immune system stronger more and more, because of the development of immune cells and the defense and thus become of these cells more resistant to diseases of exercise constantly, according to the supervisor.

If the sport daunting and stressful, forcing the body to secrete the stress hormone called cortisol Cortisol is increasingly due to the tremendous pressure on all members of the body and thus weakens the immune system, especially after the exercises hard landing activity of the immune system and the body becomes vulnerable to viruses different, and that may last for days.

Within twelve months, a person can increase muscle strength at any age was 100 per cent. And thus not only increase the proportion of activity in the body and strengthen the human, but becomes more advanced in age free of movement and independence for a longer period.

In addition, according to the ancient study of exercise in old age on a regular basis also helps in stimulating the brain and you interest on it. The reason for it is through exercise and movement is extended and feeding the brain cells of oxygen and thus form new nerve cells.
