Should You Exercise While Sick?
“People cannot deny that exercise is good for our health. Doctors suggest that a human body should be engaged in a medium physical activity for at least 150 minutes every week. It is easy to achieve for a lot of people as most have a daily exercise routine. But during times when one is sick, should he/she continue engaging in physical exercise? Does exercising help the person recover easier or will it delay the healing process? Health expert Dr. Edward R. Laskowski says that mild to moderate exercise is actually beneficial with common holds as it helps open nasal passages allowing the person to breathe more easily. Geralyn Coopersmith, a physical fitness trainer, says that as a general rule it is okay to work out if it is just some cold and the person does not feel sick. Both Laskowski and Coopersmith say that one should be more cautious when the pain is experienced below the neck. Other signs include a higher-than-normal body temperature, fatigue, widespread muscle pain, and tightness in the chest. Experts say that taking a break while sick will not affect one’s performance as he/ she can always go back to his/ her normal routine once he/ she is feeling better.”
