How Can Physical Activity Influence Immune Health?
Regular physical activity is known to enhance immune function by promoting good circulation, which allows cells and substances of the immune system to move through the body more effectively. Nurses can advocate for an individualized exercise plan that suits the patient's abilities and restrictions, whether it's through walking, cycling, or other activities. Physical activity should be balanced with adequate rest to prevent overexertion, which can have the opposite effect on the immune system.
