Does lifting weights hurt your immune system?

Answer 1

To explain this in a very simple way...

When you excercise, you become healthier. This is general knowledge, but many people don't know why.

When you excercise your muscles, your blood circulates better, you burn through fat, and you keep better "physics".

You want to have a good circulation of your blood because it helps keeping your veins (more) clear of bad stuff that isn't suppose to be there. Your organs like your kidneys and liver will be able to work faster and better to cleanse your body of toxins.

This also helps the immune system because you help putting stuff in your body in motion when you excercise. When you excercise you also burn through fat. The body isn't always trying to get rid of fat.

If you put yourself in a scenario of only eating once per day, or once every two days or similar, you put your body in a state of "starvation" which makes the body stock up on fat, leaving less fat for your brain, making you more tired, slow-minded, etc. (in other words, eating to seldom has bad effects on your brain and can affect your personality).

If you excercise, you will feel more hungry more often, and it will help you eat (eat many times per day, but not too much every meal).

Now; burning excessive body fat is important because having too much excessive body fat takes up precious resources to burn through. Remember, you can't burn fat unless you bring the body nutrition (well, you CAN... but it's not very effective if you wanna keep your head straight and stay healthy in general).

Everything is basically linked in the body somehow. Physical activity is good for you because it helps your blood circulate better, your organs work better, which in turn helps your immune system.

Fat is also important. Read about it. Study it.

And think about how fat people are often more sick or have more various problems, since excessive body fat in the end crashes takes up too many resources to handle, which leaves the immune system hanging.

Don't use this in a book or a conversation without reading about it to figure out how it really works... I don't have time to write 200.000 words to explain exactly how it works.

Also, pardon my english.
