Should I train if I'm sick?

Asked by Mickey Mouse in Fitness at 3:24 PM on October 03, 2008

pooja gupte's Answer

It is best to take rest when sick. Training or exercise puts some amount of stress on your body so no point in straining your system. Training when sick will lead to over training and may aggravate the situation. So take rest and allow your body to recover completely then kick back in your training.

pooja gupte's Answer

I feel a career as a fitness guide or rather a fitness counselor would most benefit people. As the person would be able to provide complete guidance on fitness as a way of life. That is how to incorporate activity and make it a part of your life along with the giving the right guidance in selecting the kind of foods that you should eat. Also this person will be able to tell you how you can relax and take rest from your busy schedule. That is the tripod of fitness Exercise, Nutrition and Rest

Do you think cigarettes should be completely banned? They cause harm to the smokers and others surrounnding them?

Asked by KABIR RIBAK in Personal Health at 1:55 PM on October 04, 2008

pooja gupte's Answer

Yeah it would be good if it is banned. I mean the thing is no good and does a lot of harm. But with tobacco giants pulling in so much money I don't see it happening. It' s good though that we might get a smoke free zone some begining.

How do you feel about smoking?

Asked by KABIR RIBAK in Personal Health at 1:51 PM on October 04, 2008

pooja gupte's Answer

Nausea is the first thought that comes to my mind. The smoke smell sucks man. Also the extent of damage that it does to smokers as well as to people don't choose to smoke but become passive smokers in a smokers company is real bad. Your lung capacity goes down, your have pretty low stamina in you, ask a smoker to run up a flight of stairs he will be breathless in no time. It does irreversible damage to your lungs and respiratory system and it is very difficult to get rid of the habbit. I just hate the whole thing.
