BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KGET) Classes are canceled. Many are working from home. Church services moving online. Were more isolated perhaps than ever. Combine that with fear over contracting coronavirus and the stress starts to add up. But theres something you can do, right now as you read this, that can both relieve that anxiety and boost your immune system. And its as simple as putting one foot in front of the other.

Weve been prescribing exercise for years, said Dr. Hemmal Kothary. We know for a fact that when we exercise it does help several things, it does help different disease processes. It also helps improve our immune system. thats a known fact and we are assuming, we dont know for sure quite yet, that improving our immune system might help us ward some of the symptoms of coronavirus.Kothary says exercise may even provide preventative effects against coronavirus. That possibility alone should be enough to get you moving, and if you do, youll reap many more benefits, in the way of maintaining your mental health.

When we get our heart rate up like that, theres been research that shows its just as good as 50mg of Zoloft for moderate levels of depression and anxiety, says Psychologist Corey Gonzales. So getting our heart rate up for at least 30 minutes, threetimes a week, is proven to be very helpful.Its not a pill. Its not an app. It doesnt cost any money and it hasnt been canceled. Just because most are homebound right now, doesnt mean you cant work up a sweat.To help you stay active right now, KGET will be live-streaming workouts every Friday that you can do along with us from the safety of your own home. Watch live at KGET.com every Friday.
