FAQ

How do I find out what's best for me?

Your body is your best friend. Your body is the best judge of how much exercise, food and rest you should get. Your body will tell you what to do so that you don't go overboard. Take care of yourself and listen to your body.

What is the difference in a virus and bacteria?

A virus is a microscopic organism which cannot reproduce outside of its host cell. A bacterium is a single-celled organism that reproduces by splitting itself in two. Viruses are very small (about 20 nanometers) while bacteria are larger (up to 1 micron).

Viruses spread easily through contact with bodily fluids infected, including saliva and urine, semen, vaginal secretions or pus. Bacteria are often spread via direct contact with contaminated surfaces and objects.

Viruses can get into our bodies through cuts and scrapes on the skin, bites or other injuries. They can also penetrate the nose, lips, eyes and ears, vagina,rectum, or anus.

Bacteria can get into our bodies through cuts, scrapes and burns, insect bites, or other skin breaks. They may also come into our bodies through food, water, air, soil, dust, or animals.

Viruses and bacteria both cause illness. However, viruses cannot reproduce within their hosts. So they only cause illnesses when they infect living cells.

Bacteria can spread within the host and cause illness. They can infiltrate other parts of the body. That's why we need antibiotics to kill them.

Increase immunity with herbs or supplements

It is possible to boost immune function by using herbs and natural remedies. Some common examples include garlic, ginger, oregano oil, echinacea, ginkgo biloba, and vitamin C.

These herbal remedies shouldn't be used to replace traditional medical treatment. Side effects include nausea, dizziness and stomach cramps.

What lifestyle is most healthy?

A healthy lifestyle means eating healthy foods, exercising regularly, sleeping well, and avoiding stress. This will ensure that you live a long healthy life.

Start small by changing your diet and exercising routine. To lose weight, you can start walking 30 minutes per day. If you're looking for a way to increase your activity, consider taking up swimming or dancing. A Fitbit or Strava online program that tracks your activity can be joined.
