When ever I have the flu, I bike a bit and it gets cured. Basically while I'm riding I'm also breathing pretty hard. That breathing makes me cough up all the phlegm and then I spit it out through out my ride. Great way to get your nose and throat uncongested |

Re: Health and Fitness Thread
Yeah, but don't you live in California? It's a bit hard to bike with its -20F outside, and the road is covered with ice and snow.

Re: Health and Fitness Thread
i feel a combination of spicy food and cardio together work to kill my flu pretty well. i also dont get asthma. but that could just be me. coughing sucks tho. and it takes at least a day of constant sleeping (or maybe 2) to feel like you have the energy to do something...but once you start it feels great.

Be very careful about doing a lot of working out (especially cardio) when you have a viral illness. You can end up with a viral infection of your heart muscle. And don't take aspirin (tylenol works best).

Just be careful.
Human viral cardiomyopathy. [Front Biosci. 2003] - PubMed Result

Human viral cardiomyopathy.
Maisch B, Ristic AD, Portig I, Pankuweit S.
Department of Internal Medicine-Cardiology, Philipps-University Marburg, Germany.
Viral infection of the heart is relatively common, usually asymptomatic and has a spontaneous and complete resolution. It can, however, in rare cases, lead to substantial cardiac damage, development of viral cardiomyopathy and congestive heart failure. Viral cardiomyopathy is defined as viral persistence in a dilated heart. It may be accompanied by myocardial inflammation and then termed inflammatory viral cardiomyopathy (or viral myocarditis with cardiomegaly). If no inflammation is observed in the biopsy of a dilated heart (<14 lymphocytes and macrophages/mm ) the term viral cardiomyopathy or viral persistence in dilated cardiomyopathy should be applied.The diagnosis of myocarditis and viral cardiomyopathy can be made only by endomyocardial biopsy, implementing the WHO/WHF criteria, and PCR techniques for identification of viral genome. The most frequent cardiotropic viruses detected by endomyocardial biopsy are Parvo B19, enteroviruses, adenoviruses, cytomegalovirus, and less frequently Epstein-Barr virus, and influenza virus.

Re: Health and Fitness Thread
I'm going to check out a women's gym near my house. If its cheap - $20 a month, I'll start going there. If its not and there's some stupid fees associated with it, I'm not leaving Ballys.

Some places outside of California snow a lot, such that there is no place for bikes on the road, and if you choose to bike, you're competing with 1k lbs cars which are barely controlled in the icy conditions. At times it become trecherous even to walk in the weather we get in the midwest and northeast.
