But those who persevere when they're sick and don't break their exercise routine may be on to something. Some experts argue that moderate exercise适度的锻炼 can actually have a beneficial effect on cold symptoms. Exercisers in general tend to catch fewer colds than their sedentary (sedentary ['sɛdəntəri -trɪ] I. 长期坐着的. Characterized by or requiring much sitting: a sedentary job.
II. 不爱锻炼的. Accustomed to sitting or to taking little exercise. III.

While working out may help fend off viruses, even the most dedicated gym goer will come down with a cold at some point. Experts like to cite a rule of thumb known as the "neck rule." If your symptoms are all located above your neck (stuffy nose, scratchy throat, headache), you almost certainly have a head cold(head cold
n. A common cold mainly affecting the mucous membranes of the nasal
passages, characterized by congestion, headache, and sneezing. The common cold (also known as nasopharyngitis, rhinopharyngitis, acute coryza, or a cold) is a viral infectious disease of the upper respiratory tract 上呼吸道
which primarily affects the nose. Symptoms include coughing, sore
throat, runny nose, sneezing, and fever which usually resolve in seven
to ten days, with some symptoms lasting up to three weeks. No cure for
the common cold exists, but the symptoms can be treated. It is the most frequent infectious disease
in humans with the average adult contracting two to three colds a year
and the average child contracting between six and twelve. These
infections have been with humanity since antiquity远古时代. ) and can hit the road or treadmill safely. If, on the other hand, you have a fever, congestion in your chest 胸闷 and lungs, or feel achy, it is probably a sign of flu, bronchitis [broŋ'kaitis]支气管炎, or another more serious ailment, and you should rest up. (Exercising with a fever will make you more vulnerable to dehydration, among other ill effects.). But the neck rule isn't foolproof到处适用的, and a little common sense is always a good idea. "The above-the-neck rule is a good one, but I'd say severe above-the-neck symptoms warrant cessation from regular exercise until the symptoms abate症状减轻," says Jeffrey Woods. "Even Olympic athletes need a day or two off every once in a while." Even if you pass the neck test and are determined to get a workout in, you should take it easy at first. "To be prudent审慎的, 慎重的, 有先见之明的, 有判断力的, I'd recommend cutting exercise duration 锻炼时间 and intensity强度 when symptoms are present," says Woods. Daryl Rosenbaum recommends that people with colds begin working out at 50 percent intensity. If symptoms improve after the first five to 10 minutes (as they often do), you can gradually increase the length and effort of your workout up to about 80 percent to 90 percent of your usual routine. "Moderation is the key," says Dr. Rosenbaum. "Studies have shown that people suffering from the common cold who get up and get moving actually feel better. If you go too far, however -- either with extreme short-term activity or long-term overtraining -- the immune system weakens. A viral cold that is allowed to linger for longer than normal could create sinus ['sainəs] 鼻窦 conditions that are ripe for a bacterial sinusitis [,sainə'saitis]鼻窦炎 to take over." There are some other precautions预防措施 to keep in mind. Staying hydrated during exercise is always important; it is especially so if you're planning to exercise with a cold. The nasal drainage鼻干 associated with colds can hasten dehydration, and some over-the-counter cold remedies containing antihistamines (many cough syrups, for instance) can dry you out further, Dr. Rosenbaum points out. If you work out in a public gym, be extra vigilant when exercising with a cold. Germs can be transmitted through the air and through any person-to-person contact, so if you use a treadmill, gym mat, or barbells, be sure to be extra careful when it comes to wiping down the equipment. And avoid touching your face after handling equipment; you can pick up germs that will be more likely to infiltrate your body that way. Your vulnerability to upper respiratory tract infections上呼吸道感染 spikes for several hours starting just after a strenuous workout, studies suggest. So if you've just stepped off the treadmill after a 10-mile run, give that sweating, coughing, and sniffling stranger in the locker room a wide berth离远点. "Regardless of whether you're exercising moderately or intensely, you want to take precautions against infection," says Woods. "Clean your exercise equipment before and after, use a clean cup to get water from the fountain, and try to pick a machine away from other people." Cold and flu season is just getting under way in the United States. Experts don't know how many professional and amateur athletes will be sidelined by the symptoms, but they do know germs are easily spread in gyms and common workout areas. At least one expert says that if you think you're coming down with a cold or the flu you should probably skip your daily workout. Even though it may be tempting to not break an exercise routine, working out may actually prolong the illness," Kellerman said. And, in rare cases "viruses can damage heart muscles," he added. Kellerman said it is a myth that you can sweat out germs and toxins. He acknowledges that "low levels of exercise increase endorphins and benefit the body, but an intense workout that creates high levels of endorphins can wear down the immune system." In other words, "Don't count on endorphins to heal you," he said. Kellerman advises his patients to skip their workout if they have a fever. It puts too much stress on the heart, which already is beating faster because of the higher body temperature. If you're suffering from chest congestion, coughing and shortness of breath,
he said, you also shouldn't work out. And exercising with a stomach
ache will probably make you feel worse, he added. But if you have the sniffles and milder symptoms of a cold, moderate exercise is probably OK, Kellerman said. He recommends that athletes use cross-training ( cross-train 交叉训练 I. To undergo or provide training in different tasks or skills: The department has cross-trained in firefighting and emergency medical services.
II. To train in different sports, mainly by alternating regimens, as in
running, bicycling, and swimming. ) to learn about different levels of
exercise. A cross-training routine can help rebuild strength as you recover. Kellerman also suggests easing back into a full workout. "When you're feeling better, don't start back at 100 percent," he said. "Start at a lower level. Give yourself time to recuperate[riˈku:pə,reit -'kju:-] [or] you might relapse or prolong the illness." Another reason to skip the gym if you're sick is to keep from spreading the germs to everyone else. "Be considerate," Kellerman said. "Wipe down machines, wash your hands and stay home and rest if you really don't feel well." It's not too late to get a flu shot. The Centers for Disease and Control recommends the vaccine for pregnant women, children between the ages of 6 months and 5 years, and anyone 50 or older. The CDC says "you may be able to pass on the flu before you know you are sick, as well as while you are sick."
眼睛问题: 1. astigmatism 散光 [ə'stigmə,tizəm], astigmia [ə'stigmiə] A visual defect in which the unequal curvature of one or more refractive折射的 surfaces of the eye, usually the cornea眼角膜, prevents light rays from focusing clearly at one point on the retina( ['rɛtinə] 视网膜 A delicate, multilayered, light-sensitive membrane lining the inner eyeball and connected by the optic nerve to the brain.), resulting in blurred vision. 2.

Astigmatism is an eye condition with blurred vision as its main symptom. The front surface of the eye (cornea) of a person with astigmatism is not curved properly - the curve is irregular - usually one half is flatter than the other - sometimes one area is steeper弯度大, 曲度大 than it should be. When light rays enter the eye they do not focus correctly on the retina, resulting in a blurred image. Astigmatism may also be caused by an irregularly shaped lens, which is located behind the cornea. Astigmatism may occur in children and adults; it is fairly common and is not contagious. It is usually congenital 天生的, 与生俱来的 - is present at birth - but can develop after an eye operation or an injury to the eye. It belongs to a group of eye conditions called refractive errors折射问题. Myopia[maiˈəupiə] (short-sightedness), hypermetropia (long-sightedness) and presbyopia (aging of the lens in the eye) are types of refractive errors. A refractive error means that the shape of the eye does not bend light properly, resulting in a blurred image. Light has to be bent (refracted) by the lens and the cornea correctly before it reaches the retina in order to see things clearly. 4. Floaters: Tiny particles drifting across the eye. Although often brief and harmless, they may be a sign of retinal detachment. Retinal detachment视网膜脱落: Symptoms include floaters, flashes of light across your visual field, or a sensation of a shade or curtain hanging on one side of your visual field.

I've had on occasion outside of bars scotch drinks, which I've come to like, though I'm not sure how I would go about ordering them.

Bug refers to an infection (which could be bacterial or viral). A "bug" or virus - the common cold or flu, not necessarily "to get sick suddenly." "Down" in this sense means "brought low" or "rendered inactive" - in much the same way as these days a computer can be described as having gone down, due maybe to an entirely different type of bug or virus. There
are lots of expressions for to be ill (or AE sick), such as I'm feeling
