Answer to Question 1

Outcomes of a fitness program include:
 Regular physical activity and exercise helps prevent
weight gain and can facilitate weight loss, decrease risk
of cardiovascular disease, reduce risk of certain types of
cancer, decrease risk of type 2 diabetes, optimize bone
health, and reduce stress.
 Muscle strength refers to the maximum force exerted by
muscles during activity. Strength-building activities such
as weightlifting and other resistance-training modalities
can improve muscle strength.
 Endurance refers to the ability to exercise for an extended
period of time without becoming fatigued. Sustained
activities such as jogging and swimming can improve
endurance.
 Flexibility refers to the range of motion around a joint.
Yoga, stretching, and swimming can improve flexibility.
 Body composition refers to the relative amounts of muscle,
fat, and bone in the body. A variety of activities can result in
alterations in body composition. Body fat can be decreased
by engaging in cardiovascular exercise. Muscle mass can be
increased by resistance-training activities. Finally, weight
bearing activities will help to increase bone mass.

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.

When Gabriel Fahrenheit invented the first mercury thermometer, he called "zero degrees" the lowest temperature he was able to attain with a mixture of ice and salt. For the upper point of his scale, he used 96°, which he measured as normal human body temperature (we know it to be 98.6° today because of more accurate thermometers).

Looking at the sun may not only cause headache and distort your vision temporarily, but it can also cause permanent eye damage.
