Regular workouts ward off the comon cold

Summary: Working out regularly has always been encouraged and has proven that it keeps a person in better shape and healthier overall. A new study shows that working out could also help you prevent catching the common cold. Studies have shown that going for a brisk 30-minute walk 5 times a week catch far less and less severe colds than people who don't do anything. A survey was done from 1,000 people and it was found that people who worked out 5 or more times a week their colds last 45% shorter than the peoples cold who only worked out once a week or not at all. They have found that the more often a person exercises the more often their immune cells will be alert. Getting the immune cells moving is really what will provide the body with best protection. People may think that your diet or weight may be more important but researchers stand that physical activity is the most important thing a person can do to keep a cold away.

Opinion: I think that this new discovery is great! I personally couldn't agree more with it. I have been participating in sports for a very long time and many of them have been in the fall and winter when common colds usually start to become more noticeable. I have have noticed that very few of the athletes get colds while they are in season especially compared to the kids who are not doing activities. I feel that no matter what, people should spend a part of their day exercising and now people really should because of this new discovery. I feel that it would not only help themselves but it would also help the people they are around (coworkers, family, etc.) in knowing that they have a less chance of getting sick which means a less chance of getting other people sick.
