Patients think that they can ‘sweat it out’ at the gym, but when the body is fighting infection, it needs rest, not exercise, and when we exercise, we raise our body temperatures, and plenty of the cold and flu organisms replicate at a faster rate when the body gets hotter.

While you’re battling one infection, your immune system is busy and you’re susceptible to other contagions. It’s hard to fight a two-front war, the point is to not overtax the system so you can focus your strength to fight the good fight.
