#CoopedUp!

  • By Lisa Fuller

How to keep your immune system working efficiently whilst self-isolating

Wondering how you can keep your immune system working efficiently whilst you are self-isolating? Professor Janet Lord, Director of CMAR and the Institute of Inflammation and Ageing, tells us just how important exercise is for our immune system.

In this video filmed and edited at home by her daughter, Chloe, Professor Lord also shares some handy tips and demonstrations we can follow at home whilst we are all #CoopedUp! Find out more about exercising at home and take part in an online exercise class by visiting Move It Or Lose It (https://www.moveitorloseit.co.uk/). Credit: Chloe Lord

Medical Research Council Versus Arthritis Centre for Musculoskeletal Ageing Research

We are funded by the Medical Research Council and Versus Arthritis, we are a Centre of Excellence in Musculoskeletal (MSK) Ageing Research. We are integrating and expanding complementary research and postgraduate training activity of the two leading Midlands based Universities, the University of Birmingham and the University of Nottingham, together with their associated NHS hospital trusts.

Versus Arthritis came to life in September 2018 as a result of the merger of two of UK’s largest arthritis charities – Arthritis Research UK and Arthritis Care
