In a previous Get-Fit Guy episode called Should You Exercise While Sick, I looked at how it can be hard to do much of anything when you're feeling under the weather. I also took a brief look at whether there are benefits to exercising while sick, or if working out just makes you feel worse.
Well, in this article and podcast episode, I am going to revisit some of those topics and take a deeper look at some other aspects of exercise and illness with a special guest expert, Dr. Jake Deutsch.
Dr. Jake Deutsch is board-certified in Emergency Medicine and the co-founder of Cure Urgent Care in New York City. He attended the University of Massachusetts Medical School and currently holds privileges in the Mount Sinai Health System.
Prior to founding Cure Urgent Care, he practiced emergency medicine at Hackensack Medical Center and was ranked highest in patient care and satisfaction more than a few times. With over 15 years of urgent care experience, Dr. Deutsch is a highly skilled practitioner dedicated to keeping patients happy and healthy.
Dr. Deutsch is also very active on social media with tons of followers on Instagram (where one look will tell you that this is a doctor who knows how to stay fit.) He also regularly appears on several American television networks as a trusted medical source. Recently, he partnered with Zicam to help people get better sooner this cold season.
Cold season concerns
An online survey of 2,000 Americans (described in this press release) showed that people have seen this cold season as different from past cold seasons. More than 50% said they were researching how to be better prepared for the upcoming cold season compared to prior cold seasons, and nearly a quarter (23.48%) reported that they're responsibly stocking up on remedies.
With his facilities seeing more than 4,500 patients every month, Dr. Deutsch truly understands the internal struggle between acknowledging symptoms and taking initiative versus simply "riding it out." Given the ever-present confusion between cold, flu, and allergy symptoms, Dr. Deutsch wants people to understand how to recognize sneezes, sore throats, and coughs and jump into action at the first sign of a cold.
And responding to a cold includes tailoring your workout and exercise program!
