Does exercise protect against pneumonia⁉️

Pneumonia is a common result of viral infections and is responsible for approximately 3 million deaths each year worldwide. Can your New Years resolution to start exercising and lose weight help protect you? Yes!

A recent 2021 meta analysis of 10 cohort studies with over 1 million participants compared those whom are physically active on a regular basis (resistance training & cardio) vs those who are inactive, with incidence of pneumonia and related death.

The results found that those who were highly active were 30% less likely to develop pneumonia and approximately 35% less likely to die from pneumonia than their sedentary counterparts!
