0:10.1	Is it possible for us to reduce the amount of times that we get sick?
0:14.3	Are there any science-back ways to reduce the frequency of things like colds and flus,
0:19.4	and even to accelerate how fast we get better if we do happen
0:23.8	to quote, catch something.
0:25.1	Well, one of the first most accessible things for us to take a look at is exercise.
0:29.4	A meta-analysis published in exercise and sports science reviews determine that regular
0:34.8	exercise significantly improves human immune system response to infections
0:40.8	and reduces susceptibility to viruses. Another massive study published in the British Journal of
0:47.0	Sports Medicine analyzed the impact of regular exercise in defense of COVID. It tracked the exercise
0:53.9	habits of over 200,000 people, and here's what

1:11.4	In fact, in one cohort, people who regularly strength trained and utilized aerobic exercise
