Jim Harbaugh’s advice for shortness of breath? Do push-ups

James Dator
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.

Jim Harbaugh is not a doctor, nor does he play one on TV. He is a man who wears khakis, not scrubs and believes “football player” is the biggest compliment a man can receive. So, what is Dr. Harbaugh’s suggestion for shortness of breath? Push-ups.

Push-ups that apparently boost someone’s immune system.

There are scores of dietary sites on the Internet preaching exercise as a way to boost someone’s immune system, but nothing from a credible source.

Furthermore, it’s Dr. Harbaugh’s diagnosis that Jarrod Wilson needs his immune system boosted, which likely will not help with any of the reasons that Wilson had a hard time breathing.

We look forward to Michigan’s next medical treatments, which include aligning the four humors, ample use of leeches and mercury injections.
