Does fitness make your immune system more efficient against colds? When i was a lot younger i was overweight and i got sick very often. But around age 13 and 14 i started exercising and i noticed that up to this age i get sick very rarely now. During this entire winter I only got sick once and when i do catch a cold, it never lasts long, usually the day after i feel much better. Im just wondering does Fitness tie into your immune system as well?
