A doctor's guide to exercising when you're sick

If you're planning to stay active while you're ill, you need to take precautions to make sure you don't put your health at risk.
Dr Babak Ashrafi, a general practitioner at Superdrug Online Doctor, has come up with a guide to help you safely exercise while you feel unwell. "While staying active is crucial for overall well-being, it's equally important to recognise when your body needs rest. Exercising when you're feeling unwell can sometimes do more harm than good, but there are safe alternatives that can still contribute to your fitness goals," Dr Ashrafi begins.
