A member asked:
Everytime i start working out again i end up getting sick (like a head cold or sinus infection). why is this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: If working out at gym, may be frequently exposed to infections from sick people handling equipment & transferring germs to it; u use equipment, touch eyes or nose, & get infected. May also be working out so hard that you're lowering body's resistance to infection. Make certain you're getting adequate vitamin c, b vitamins, zinc, vitamin d. Wash hands frequently or wipe off equipment 2 sterilize.
