Answer to Question 1

The AMDR for carbohydrates is 45-65 of total calories. A person who is very physically active will need a lot of carbohydrates to supply their muscles with glucose for ATP (energy). They may easily need 65 of all calories in the form of carbohydrates. An inactive person may only need 45 of all calories from carbohydrates since their muscles don't need as much glucose for movement.
The AMDR for fat is 20-35 of total calories. Again, a physically active person can likely eat up to 35 of their calories from fat. A person who must watch their fat intake, such as someone with high blood triglycerides or a disease that causes fat malabsorption, may want to take in only 20 of their calories from fat.
The AMDR for protein is 10-35 of total calories. Someone who engages in physically demanding activity may need more protein to maintain her muscles. She can easily keep her muscles strong by getting 35 of her total calories in the form of protein. A person with kidney disease may need to watch his protein intake and may only want to take in 10 of all calories in the form of protein.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
