Hold Off Colds, Flu With Exercise Or MeditationDear Reader,
As we approach the time of year when colds and flu are common, there's this finding from some new research appearing in the Annals of Family Medicine - regular exercise or meditation might be two of the best, most natural ways to cut down on these brief but often miserable respiratory infections. Experts tell us the flu virus is tied to almost 36,000 deaths and half a million hospital admissions in the U.S. each year. Less severe illnesses, like the common cold, are still responsible for 40 million days of missed work/school each year.
The remarkable findings are based on a small study of just 149 active and inactive adults who were aged 50 or older looking at the effect of moderate exercise and mindful meditation on how severe a subject's respiratory infection might be. The research was conducted over a full Wisconsin winter cold and flu season, and none of the subjects (mostly white women) were meditating or doing any moderate exercise more than one time a week. They were randomly assigned to one of three groups - one group made no changes to any habits; one group started an eight-week moderate exercise program (running on a treadmill or biking for 45 minutes/day) while the last group spent the same amount of time in mindfulness meditation.
The team saw that those who were involved in a daily exercise regimen had fewer respiratory infections and used less sick time on the job. What's more, the subjects who practiced mindfulness meditation were also better protected against these common illnesses. Mindfulness meditation involves focusing attention on the body and emotions and can include activities like yoga, stretching and walking.
At the end of the season, those subjects who made no changes had 40 episodes of illness, while the meditators had 27 episodes and the exercisers had 26. In terms of days from work, those who made no changes lost 453 sick days, while the meditators lost 257 and the exercisers lost 241 days due to sickness. This works out to a 40% to 50% drop in infections of the respiratory tract according to study lead author Dr. Bruce Barrett who is an associate professor of family medicine at the University of Wisconsin. By contrast, flu vaccines, a well proven and widely used intervention in use today, only offer 50% to 60% protection, and then only for a few specific strains of flu virus. Of course getting a yearly flu shot is easier than practicing mindful meditation or regular exercise.

Hold Off Colds, Flu With Exercise Or Meditation Continued...
No one has a good explanation for how being active either physically or mentally helps protect against common complaints like colds and flu. It may be that both actions help reduce stress or that exercise helps to activate the immune system. Bear in mind that the current work merely shows an association between being active and less illness, but does not prove cause and effect.
We do know that mindfulness training impacts the way we see our symptoms and also reduces stress. During the research, when the meditators did get sick, they seemed to suffer less severely and felt sick for less time. It makes sense that if you can successful redirect your attention you will feel less pain, be troubled less by uncomfortable cold and flu symptoms.
To your good health,
