Slash Your Sick Days
In the news:
People who exercise have on average 40-50% less sick days! That means that they take off half as much time as those who merely sit behind a desk and never get their bodies moving through exercise.
The reason for this amazing statistic is that when your blood pressure increases through vigorous activity, your disease fighting immune cells get pushed through your blood. They are able to detect and fight off cold viruses before it's too late.
That's great news for you, your boss, and your deadlines. Plus, the flip side is you'll feel healthier and more energetic by incorporating exercise into your daily program.
Check out this post on how lunch time breaks can be the perfect time to fit in a 30 minute workout.

This is the sentence that I cannot find in your source - "when your blood pressure increases through vigorous activity, your disease fighting immune cells get pushed through your blood."
Please explain.
Thanks
