A member asked:
After i exercise rigorously my body always feels like i have the flu for a few days. does it do something to my immune system or nerves?

Yes: Your nerves are reporting that your muscles have been worked hard lately. See also "Charley horse." Keeping your body fit with moderate exercise can improve immunity. Don't overdo it, risking injury.

Exercise: you may be pushing yourself too far in your exercise program but it is normal to feel tired after having done a good exercise program for 2015
