Exercise: Good or bad for immunity?
Your immune system is strengthened by exercise. Your body creates white blood cells, which are immune-boosting and fight infection. Your body also gets rid of toxins. Exercise helps prevent diseases like cancer and heart disease. Exercise can help reduce stress.
However, exercising too much can weaken your immune system. When you exercise too hard, your muscles will become sore. This causes inflammation and swelling. Your body then needs to make more antibodies in order to fight infection. Problem is, extra antibodies can trigger allergies and other autoimmune conditions.
So, don't overdo it!
What is the difference between sugar and fat?
Fat is an energy source that comes directly from food. Sugar is a sweetener found in fruits, vegetables, and other foods. Both fats (and sugars) have the exact same calories. However, fats provide more calories than sugars.
Fats are stored within the body and can contribute to obesity. They may cause cholesterol buildup and lead to strokes or heart attacks.
Sugars are quickly absorbed into the body and provide instant fuel. This causes blood glucose levels in the body to rise. High blood glucose levels can be dangerous because it increases the risk of developing type II diabetes.
What makes an antibiotic effective?
Antibiotics can be used to kill bacteria. Antibiotics are used to treat bacterial infections. There are many kinds of antibiotics. Some are administered topically, while others are given orally.
Many people who have been exposed can be prescribed antibiotics. An oral antibiotic might be prescribed to someone who has been exposed to chicken pox. This will prevent the spread of shingles. A penicillin injection might be given to prevent pneumonia in someone who has had strep.
When antibiotics are given to children, they should be given by a doctor. Children are at greater risk than adults for developing serious side effects from taking antibiotics.
Diarrhea is the most common side effect from antibiotics. Other side effects possible include dizziness, nausea, vomiting, stomach cramps, stomach pains, dizziness and allergic reactions. These side effects usually disappear once treatment has ended.
Statistics

- WHO recommends consuming less than 5% of total energy intake for additional health benefits. (who.int)
- In both adults and children, the intake of free sugars should be reduced to less than 10% of total energy intake. (who.int)
