Webinar: Exercise, Inflammation and Healthy Aging, by Dr. Goh Jorming

Did you know your immune system ages too? As we grow older, our bodies face a paradoxical challenge: our immune response to infections weakens, while inflammation throughout our body increases. Scientists call this contradictory phenomenon "immunosenescence" – and it's a key factor in age-related health decline.

But there's exciting news! For the past three decades, research has revealed something remarkable: physical activity and structured exercise profoundly impact our immune system at any age.

Join us for this webinar by Dr. Joh Gorming as he explores the fascinating mechanisms behind how exercise communicates with your immune system, and discover evidence-based strategies that could help extend your "healthspan" – the period of life spent in good health. Whether you're already in your middle years or planning ahead, this session offers valuable insights into how movement might be the most powerful medicine for your aging immune system.

Health Professionals: This presentation offers valuable insights for your clinical practice. Understanding the relationship between exercise and immune function in aging populations can enhance your patient care strategies and preventive recommendations. The evidence presented will help you provide more targeted guidance to your middle-aged and older adult patients seeking to maintain their health and resilience against age-related immune decline.
