Health related with the musculoskeletal system, the importance of exercising and keeping fit.(Made by Pablo Comendador).

The musculoskeletal system provides form, support, stability, and movement to the body. It is made up of the bones of the skeleton, muscles, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, joints, and other connective tissue that supports and binds tissues and organs together.

The Benefits of Exercise
There are many benefits of regular exercise and maintaining fitness and these include:
Exercise increases energy levels.Exercise improves both the strength and the efficiency of your cardiovascular system to get the oxygen and nutrients to your muscles.  When your cardiovascular system works better everything seems easier and you have more energy for the fun stuff in life.Exercise improves muscle strength.Staying active keeps muscles strong and joints, tendons and ligaments flexible, allowing you to move more easily and avoid injury. Strong muscles and ligaments reduce your risk of joint and lower back pain by keeping joints in proper alignment. They also improve coordination and balance.Exercise can help you to maintain a healthy weight.



Osteoporosis
The bones of the skeleton become thinner and weaker as a normal part of the aging process. The bone-building activity of the body begins to slow down between the ages of 30 and 40. Women lose roughly 8 percent of their skeletal mass every decade. Men lose about 3 percent per decade. Not all parts of the skeleton are equally affected. The vertebrae, jaws, and the area near the ends of bones (at the "growth plate") lose more bone tissue than other bones, resulting in a loss of height, loss of teeth, and limbs prone to fracture. The older you are, the greater your risk. Bones become weaker and less dense as you age. The risk of osteoporosis is greater if you are a woman. Women have less bone tissue and lose bone more rapidly than do men because of the changes involved in menopause.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3W6qMJMrzc

Infectious diseases.(Made by Fernando Arévalo and Juan Pablo Castro).

Infectious diseases kill more people worldwide than any other single cause. Infectious diseases are ca used by germs. Germs are tiny living things that are found everywhere - in air, soil and water. You can get infected by touching, eating , drinking or breathing something that contains a germ. Germs can also spread through animal and insect bites, kissing and sexual contact. Vaccines, proper hand washing and medicines can help prevent infections. There are four main kinds of germs: Bacteria - one-celled germs that multiply quickly and may release chemicals which can make you sick Viruses - capsules that contain genetic material, and use your own cells to multiply Fungi - primitive plants, like mushrooms or mildew Protozoa - one-celled animals that use other living things for food and a place to live Cholera: Cholera is a disease spread mostly through contaminated drinking water and unsanitary conditions. It is endemic in the Indian subcontinent, R...
