-	One of the pervasive messages from health care providers and the media alike is that being fit is the same as being healthy, but this is not true. The premature death of top athletes including Arthur Ashe, who died from [[home:diseases:hiv_and_aids\|AIDS]], Reggie White, due to [[home:diseases:sarcoidosis\|sarcoidosis]], and Dale Oen [[http://nz.sports.yahoo.com/news/article/-/13934255/norwegian-swim-champ-dale-oen-died-of-heart-disease-official/\|who died of atherosclerosis]], are illustrations of that. Health is the absence of disease, while fitness is a level of physical endurance. One can be healthy but not fit, but one probably cannot be fit without being healthy. The severity of one's disease limits one's level of fitness, and exercising beyond that point may be detrimental. As a result, one's fitness level decreases over the years as the severity of disease increases.	+	One of the pervasive messages from health care providers and the media alike is that being fit is the same as being healthy, but this is not true.

	Some patients with chronic illness have been blamed for being sick because they did not exercise enough, ate the wrong food, or partook of certain vices. However, the root cause of the problem for many was microbes, not behavior. Fitness cannot cure chronic infection.

	<blockquote>Of all immune cells, natural killer (NK) cells, neutrophils and macrophages (of the innate immune system) exhibit the greatest changes in response to marathon competition, both in terms of numbers and function. Many mechanisms appear to be involved, including exercise-induced changes in stress hormone and cytokine concentrations, body temperature changes, increases in blood flow and dehydration. During this "open window" of immune dysfunction (which may last between 3 and 72 hours, depending on the immune measure), viruses and bacteria may gain a foothold, increasing the risk of subclinical and clinical infection.		<blockquote>Of all immune cells, natural killer (NK) cells, neutrophils and macrophages (of the innate immune system) exhibit the greatest changes in response to marathon competition, both in terms of numbers and function.

-	One possibility worth researching in greater depth is how long-term improvement from exercise is due to the effect raised body temperature has on immune function. Fever, the natural increase in one's body temperature, has been conserved during evolution through millennia, because of its advantage for host defense.(({{pubmed>long:16613288}})) Important immunological reactions are sped up by temperature, and some pathogens with strict temperature preferences are hindered.(({{pubmed>long:9289813}}))	+	One possibility worth researching in greater depth is how long-term improvement from exercise is due to the effect raised body temperature has on immune function.
