Exercise for Immunity

Recent publications and news items show that moderate exercise
works with good diet to enhance immune systems. It does not take
much. Just walking a few miles per week can help prevent cancers
in various parts of the body, as an example.

I'm not a body builder, although I respect people who are. My
ideal is to keep a slender, wiry body, such as a runner or
swimmer. Typically I spend only 15 to 45 minutes per day, which
is nothing compared to an Arnold Schwarzenegger work out.

Here's my basic routine.

After breakfast and before my shower, at least 20 to 30 pushups,
then 20 to 30 knee curls. For the curls, I lie on my back and
draw my knees to almost touch my chest. After my shower, long
enough for my arms to recover a bit, I do at least 15 to 20
chinups from an in-door-way bar.

Thus, I have stimulated my arm and chest muscles, abdomen, and
lower back. If I have any lower back aches, which can happen
from too much sitting, I tilt my pelvis back and forth, either
while still on my back or standing, 10 to 30 times. By the way,
this stretcher can be done nearly any where, if one does not
make the moves very obvious.

Depending on my mood, available time, and weather, I do one of
the following.

#1. As a break from any work, I take at least a 30 minute brisk
walk, which covers about 1.8 to 2 miles in my neighbor-hood.
While walking, I occasionally rotate my wrists, or wiggle them
in all directions, to head off repetitive stress syndrome. I
also ease my shoulders by moving them up / down and front /
back, or stretching my arms out and rotating them.

#2. If weather or darkness discourage an outdoors walk, and no
shopping center is handy, I ride my Schwinn[tm] air-dyne bicycle
which pits both my arms and legs against resistance from a
paddle wheel. This is the only expensive exercise equipment I
own, and can be found used on the web. Five minutes with the
meter above half scale is a workout. Or I could use a lower
challenge but for longer time.

If I have the time, and need to burn off calories or tension, I
have a whole range of low cost choices, from mild office
stretches to aggressive army calisthenics. For details, see my
"Easy Exercise All Ages".

Just a few of the conditions resisted by exercise are: angina,
arthritis, breast cancer, colon cancer, congestive heart
failure, coronary artery disease, depression, gallstone disease,
heart attack, high blood cholesterol, high blood triglyceride,
hypertension, lessened cognitive function (e.g., Alzheimer's
disease), low blood HDL, lower quality of life, obesity,
osteoporosis, pancreatic cancer, peripheral vascular disease,
physical frailty, premature mortality, prostate cancer, sleep
apnea, stiff joints, stroke, type 2 diabetes, spinal injury,
weak bones, and more.

All without drugs. What a pleasant surprise!
