Do This 27 Min Daily For a Bulletproof Immune System

If you have 27 minutes a day to spare (and after you see this article I think you’re going to make the extra time)...

Then you have at your disposal one of the best mechanisms for improving your immune system of all time. 

I’m referring to exercise.

Exercise isn’t just one of the best medicines for immune health but is also one of the best medicines for total health.

There’s literally no way to dispute that 1,000s and 1,000s of studies support the benefits of exercise for superior health.

Only recently a study came out supporting the role movement plays in eliminating cancer risk

And as I’m about to show you, there are a myriad of ways exercise will help to strengthen your body so you’ll be able to resist various diseases.

Along with showing you why exercise is beneficial to your immune system…

I’ll also be showing you how to get the most out of your 27 minutes of exercise a day.

By that I mean I’ll show you how to enjoy exercise…

And, I’ll give you some recommendations on harnessing the power of exercise to improve your mental state and physical appearance.

Is 27 Minutes Really All I Need Dr. Wiggy?

In reality, if you can average 27 minutes of exercise daily then you’re going to find that the benefits you experience are far more benefits than those averaging 20 minute or less a day.

The startling fact is America is one of the world leaders in preventable disease.

And much of that comes down to the fact that so few people get adequate exercise.

According to HHS.gov, “Less than 5% of adults participate in 30 minutes of physical activity each day; only one in three adults receive the recommended amount of physical activity each week.”.

I think if you can hit 27 minutes of exercise a day you’re going to find that it isn’t the least bit difficult to maintain this kind of dedicated effort to your well being.

Especially since in this day and age it isn’t hard at all to exercise AND watch a TV show or enjoy the company of others.

At a physiological level exercise helps to either improve (or maintain) various aspects of physical health.

Here’s what Harvard wrote about exercise and immune health during the height of the coronavirus.

Regular exercise is one of the pillars of healthy living. It improves cardiovascular health, lowers blood pressure, helps control body weight, and protects against a variety of diseases. But does it help to boost your immune system naturally and keep it healthy?

Just like a healthy diet, exercise can contribute to general good health and therefore to a healthy immune system. It may contribute even more directly by promoting good circulation, which allows the cells and substances of the immune system to move through the body freely and do their job efficiently.”

That’s a fairly superficial summary of exercise and immune health.

Sadly, there are people who seem to believe that exercise is bad for them.

Perhaps you’re one of those people, believing that if something like exercise could leave you sore and exhausted there’s no way it could be good for you.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

The journal Frontiers in Immunology recently wrote the following about how exercise actually is a boon to your immune system health.

“Epidemiological evidence indicates that regular physical activity and/or frequent structured exercise reduces the incidence of many chronic diseases in older age, including communicable diseases such as viral and bacterial infections, as well as non-communicable diseases such as cancer and chronic inflammatory disorders.”

And while regular exercise is going to help increase your body’s ability to respond to pathogenic attacks as well as modulating immune behavior so you can resist other forms of disease, the great news is just 1 single bout of exercise can have benefits on your immune health.

Meaning, if you’re concerned about getting sick during the flu season (or during coronavirus season) 1 workout for 27 minutes is going to be better than none.

Why?

Because everytime you work out your body automatically turns on billions of cells associated with your immune system that recognize and kill cells that have been infected by bacteria and viruses.

Exercise (especially exercise targeting the cardiovascular and respiratory system) sends immune cells to the most important areas of your body first (organs like your spleen and bone marrow are some of the first recipients of immune cells) before washing over the rest of your secondary lymphoid organs.

Your lungs, along with your gut are next in line for receiving immune cells that are eager to eliminate potentially dangerous invaders.

Once your immune cells are mobilized in this manner they are then recirculated between blood and tissue where they remain on alert and help us resist infection and keep defenses up so we don’t succumb to bacterial or viral loads.

In addition to that mechanism of defense, exercise induced immune enhancement also helps to quell dangerous inflammation.

The American College of Sports Medicine observed the following about exercise and inflammation during the coronavirus pandemic:  “Exercise also releases various proteins that can help maintain immunity, particularly muscle-derived cytokines such as IL-6, IL-7 and IL-15. The cytokine IL-6 has been shown to ‘direct’ immune cell trafficking toward areas of infection, while IL-7 can promote the production of new T-cells from the thymus and IL-15 helps to maintain the peripheral T-cell and NK-cell compartments, all of which work in concert to increase our resistance to infection.

 Exercise is especially beneficial for older adults who are more susceptible to infection in general and have also been identified as a particularly vulnerable population during this COVID-19 outbreak."

The recommendation for 27 minutes a day isn’t set on any real science. You can certainly go longer . And if you do, you should expect to achieve better results for brain health, heart health, immune health as well as weight loss.

However, I figure the average show on TV (or Netflix) is about  27 minutes long...so if you can switch sitting on the couch to doing your workout on a stationary bike (while still watching Netflix) you stand to reap some outstanding rewards.

How to Get the Most Out Of Your Workouts

One of the main drawbacks of exercise is that it can leave you sore and exhausted afterwards.

For that reason I’d like to recommend our Sports Magnesium Oil.

This blend of magnesium oil goes right on your sore muscles and introduces positively charged ions of magnesium chloride straight into muscle tissue through your skin.

The way it reduces soreness is by helping flush out the toxins that accumulate in muscle tissue while also helping your muscles relax so they hurt less.  

Dr. Mark Sircus, who's a renowned expert on the effects of magnesium in the body, writes this about what happens when you introduce magnesium chloride into the body transdermally:

“Transdermal magnesium therapy is ideal for pain management. The combination of heat and magnesium chloride increases circulation and waste removal. The therapeutic effect of magnesium baths is to draw inflammation out of the muscles and joints. Magnesium chloride, when applied directly to the skin is transdermally absorbed and has an almost immediate effect on pain. As an alternative to baths, especially for patients who cannot get into them, is to use a Biomat while getting a massage with magnesium oil (or gel).

Transdermal magnesium therapy offers an exciting breakthrough in sports medicine. Coaches can now treat injuries, prevent them, and increase athletic performance all at the same time. Transdermal magnesium chloride mineral therapy enhances recovery from athletic activity or injuries. It reduces pain and inflammation while inducing quicker regeneration of tissues. Topical application of magnesium chloride increases flexibility, which helps avoid injury. It also increases strength and endurance.”

If this article has convinced you to up your exercise frequency I’d recommend adding this to your post-workout regimen.

If you’re not already taking a magnesium supplement, you’ll probably struggle to recover from exercise as magnesium is essential for recovery and  70-80% of Americans are believed to be deficient in this critical mineral. 

Sports magnesium oil delivers 100% pure magnesium chloride, along with a handful of healing herbs transdermally for maximum effect.. 

If you want to boost immune function and don’t want muscle soreness getting in the way then I suggest getting a bottle or two today.
