These two populations might benefit especially
from the heightened «cancer
surveillance» — the ability of the
immune system to seek out and destroy budding cancers — that this study suggests exercise brings, Bilek explains.
The
immune system is made up of a team of different types of cells that, while each having their own specific function, work together to protect the body
from foreign invaders: B - cells produce antibodies; T - cells conduct
surveillance for potentially dangerous molecules and kills dangerous cells such as disease - causing bacteria; and macrophages are the scavenger cells of your body acting like garbage trucks, cleaning up residue and removing potentially dangerous substances.
