4 Easy Movements To Boost Your Immune System

Did you know there are specific movements that will help to strengthen and boost your immune system?   Getting at least 30 minutes of gentle exercise each day – like gentle yoga, walking or hiking in nature, qigong or tai chi, rebounding and biking — are all excellent ways to strengthen the immune system. Some rigorous exercise is ok, but too much can deplete your immune system.   If you have physical limitations, do movements that can be done sitting — like chair yoga – or do very mild exercises in which you are lying down.

Here are FOUR easy to learn movements you can do TODAY to boost your immune system.
