Can you get sick from too much exercise?
Yes — when training is too intense, too long, or recovery too short, your body releases more cortisol and your immune system drops for hours or even days.
💡What happens
• White blood cells ↓
• Inflammation ↑
• Antibody defense ↓
→ You get cold or flu easier 🤧
It’s called the “open window” effect, lasting up to 72 hours after heavy training.
Even elite athletes experience this before competitions.
✅ Stay balanced
Sleep well, rest between workouts, eat enough protein & antioxidants, hydrate, and listen to your body.
Train smart — not just hard.
Because health gains matter more than gym bragging rights 💪
