How does physical activity play a role in the immune system and how does exercise affect how we age?
This Bitesize clip is from episode 128 of the podcast with Dr Daniel Lieberman - a paleoanthropologist and Professor of Human Evolutionary Biology at Harvard University.
The immune system, like every system in the body, is affected by physical activity. One of the key ways to keep ourselves healthy is to stay physically active.
Daniel takes us through data that shows that moderate levels of activity upregulate key components of the immune system. He explains that when we’re moderately active we produce more immune cells which can kill cells that become infected by viruses. Conversely, by being inactive, we can directly increase our vulnerability to illnesses like respiratory tract infections.
We sometimes think that we should become less active as we get older, but this doesn’t seem to be the case. Daniel explains that when we’re physically active we turn on lots of repair and maintenance mechanisms in the body, and that physical activity is really important in slowing processes of ageing and decreasing disease.
Finally, Daniel gives some of his best tips for staying healthy and active.
