CDC Adds Physical Inactivity as a COVID-19 Risk Factor

Last week, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention added physical inactivity as a risk factor related to COVID-19, indicating that people who do little or no physical activity are more likely to get very sick from COVID-19 compared with those who are physically active.



Throughout the pandemic, the absence of a loud and clear message about the importance of physical activity (PA) contrasts with the compelling evidence for the benefits of regular PA on both mental and physical health, including the immune system. Results from recent studies call for clear and actionable guidelines to reduce risk for severe COVID-19 (hospitalizations, ICU admissions and death) by prioritizing PA in public health recommendations and routine medical care

The Use of AmmoniaInhalants Among Athletes

In the olden times the Aromatic Spirt of Ammonia is used to revive somebody who has fainted. It brings back the senses allowing its user to get back to normal.
Things have turned into a new twist and this time, athletes are using it.
Smelling this substance, stimulates arousal, alertness and easy breathing,this also creates a sensation of decreased fatigue making weightlifting or other forms of resistance training easier.
The downside, the smell is overpowering, can numb injury sensation, allowing more damage to an injured part of the body.
There is very little evidence that it works but many people attest to its effectiveness which is probably a placebo effect.
This substance is not banned in International Sports Competion but it's intake is not recommended by Medical Doctors for Sports.
