Boosting the Immune System Naturally

Regular, moderate exercise can give a child's immune system a significant boost. Physical activity helps flush bacteria out of the lungs and airways, reducing the chance of catching a cold, flu, or other airborne illness.

Exercise causes changes in antibodies and white blood cells, allowing them to circulate more rapidly. This means they can detect illnesses earlier than they might have otherwise. A physically active child is often a healthier, more resilient child.
