Research shows the immune system benefits from engaging in regular physical activity, says Dr. Edward Laskowski, co-director of Mayo Clinic Sports Medicine and a specialist in physical medicine and rehabilitation based in Rochester, Minnesota. Exercise boosts the production of microphages, cells that attack the bacteria that can trigger some of the upper respiratory tract infections we get, he says. And physical activity increases the circulation of many cells in our body that help fend off viruses and harmful bacteria. Just know your body’s limits, and allow adequate time for recovery between workouts to ensure you’re receiving the maximum boost from exercise.

It Felt Love

IT FELT LOVE How
Did the rose
Ever open its heart And give to this world
All its
Beauty? It felt the encouragement of light
Against its
Being, Otherwise,
We all remain Too Frightened.
If I listen to all the naysayers and doomsday voices I’ll crawl into a hole. I choose to live and walk in the light knowing it’s all going to turn out well.
