GO RUN!
It’s well-known that cardio exercises reduce the risk of stroke, improve blood circulation, lower hypertension and relieve stress. However, a crucial benefit of cardio is that it boosts the body’s immunity. Regular exercise ensures constant flow of nutrients and infection-fighting cells throughout the body.
BOWEL-ED OVER
Two or three bowel movements per day ensure that the body’s defence system is not put under any excess strain. So, keep the body well-hydrated for regular and healthy bowel movements, and have food rich in fibre such as cereals, whole grains and fruits like apples.

Sipping beetroot juice may give you more stamina while working out. In a recent study, researchers found that drinking juice from the root of the beet plant could help keep exercise from draining your energy.
For the study, eight men (ages 19 to 38) drank about 17 ounces of organic beetroot juice each day for six consecutive days before completing a series of cycling-based fitness tests. Tests results revealed that the men were able to cycle for an average of 92 seconds longer after drinking the beetroot juice (compared to their cycling times after six days of drinking blackcurrant cordial). What's more, study members also had lower resting blood pressure after consuming beetroot juice.
