training and immune system

[Gojanbusz]

Do you guys think training can improve your immune system? if it does what types of training would you recommend to do, my immune system is getting weaker as I get older and I get sick more often.

A healthy lifestyle (so diet and exercise will). It's normal to lack a little as we get older - you need to work at it. Finally, light training = great. Balls to the wall not so much.

we've had podcasts about boosting immune system. water fasting every few months is a great way to boost the immune system. the simple reason is you are eliminating your old cells and replacing them with fresh troops

There are extreme training methods in boosting your immune system. Ive heard extremely cold water dives with sauna has been proven to improve immune system response, but I would not recommend that straight off the bat.

The easy steps are as follows:

1)Dont smoke
2)Sleep adequately
3)Eat a diet high in fruits and vegetables
4)Exercise regularly
5)Maintain a healthy weight
6)try minimizing stress
7)Take steps to avoid infection, good hygiene, wash hands.

Just being healthy with diet and exercise are going to help. Also some fasting will make a huge difference.
