Swimming and Flu
Research has shown that those who
practice swimming moderately are less susceptible to influenza than the average
person and also swimmers who perform a really hard training are vulnerable to
the flu, such as those who do not swim because of the length and strength of
the workout that leads to reducing the efficiency of some immune functions for
a period of a few hours to a few days. This gives the opportunity for viruses
to invade the body. While this is not directly related to the performance of
the circulatory system and metabolic processes and muscle performance, but the
immune system is very important for every swimmer when there is a weakness in
it the swimmer is vulnerable to the flu and when the swimmer is sick he will be
unable to perform, training and competition optimally. Fortunately, however, there are many measures that can be taken to
significantly reduce body infection must be done as a habit. The immune
system depends heavily on nutrition. The best swimmers in the world know that
there is moderate nutrition and no swimmer in life reached high levels
without eating large amounts of vegetables and fruits and a balanced diet that
provides the necessary support for the immune system. Sleep is also important to support the immune system.
