Should You Exercise While Sick?
From VOA Learning English, this is the Health & Lifestyle report.
Exercise helps to keep us in good health. Doctors at the American Heart Association suggest getting at least 150 minutes of moderate physical activity every week.
Many people have an exercise routine. They exercise for a few minutes every day or every other day. So, getting those 150 minutes is easier.
But what about those times when you are sick? If you do not feel well, should you keep following your exercise routine? Will physical activity help you to feel better more quickly or will it delay the healing process?
Health experts answer these and other questions on the Mayo Clinic website. The Mayo Clinic is a nonprofit medical center in the United States.
Edward R. Laskowski is a doctor at the clinic. He notes that "mild to moderate physical activity is usually OK if you have a common cold."
Dr. Laskowski and other experts have a general rule of thumb about exercising when you are sick. It is usually fine to exercise, he explains, if your symptoms are all "above the neck." These signs may include a runny nose, nasal congestion, sneezing or a minor sore throat.
In fact, Laskowski adds that exercise may make you feel better by "opening your nasal passages." This may temporarily reduce congestion and help you to breathe more easily.
The American health website WebMD offers similar advice.
Geralyn Coopersmith is a physical fitness trainer who has written several books on exercise and nutrition. Coopersmith told WebMD: "The general rule is that if it is just a little sniffle and you take some medications and don't feel so sick, it's OK to work out."

However, both Coopersmith and Dr. Laskowski suggest taking a break from exercising if signs of your illness appear "below the neck." Be on guard for symptoms such as chest congestion, extreme cough or pain in the stomach.
But there are other symptoms that can tell you to avoid exercise. They include:
a higher than normal body temperature,
a sense of feeling extremely tired, also known as fatigue, and
widespread muscle pain.
Coopersmith, the WebMD expert, adds that if you feel tightness in the chest, "it is not advisable to be working out."
Both she and Dr. Laskowski suggest listening to your body. If you feel really badly, take a break and let your body rest.
If you don't feel too badly, these experts both suggest cutting back on the intensity of your exercise routine. For example, if you usually run, take a quick walk instead.
Experts at the Mayo Clinic add that a "few days off from exercise when you are sick shouldn't affect your performance."
You can return to your usual intensity when you feel better. However, Dr. Laskowski warns that exercising when you have more than a common cold, could lead to "more-serious injury or illness."
And that's the Health & Lifestyle Report.

生病时应该坚持锻炼吗？
这里是VOA慢速英语健康生活报道h,u5b7NU%Ct_UqknnS[。
锻炼有助于我们保持健康T6Nrufx^@CL~0。美国心脏协会的医生建议，人们每周应至少进行150分钟的中度运动5J,y7jEXcZ7+#S)。
许多人都会进行日常锻炼or]MR)_rdX3r*Dd。他们每天或每隔一天锻炼几分钟)Ol9LXts;1O@tK。因此，每周锻炼150分钟很容易l8p.k-)XTdL。
但是生病的时候怎么办？如果感觉不舒服，还应该继续完成日常锻炼吗？运动是会帮助你更快恢复还是会延缓治愈过程？
健康专家在梅奥医学中心官网上回答了上述问题及其他问题z*UW2t_iSTT9HG)。梅奥医学中心是美国一家非营利医学中心5@SCktdy.&。
爱德华·R·拉斯沃斯基是该医疗中心的医生,2dqI!!41ZePF。他指出，“如果是普通感冒，进行轻度到中度运动通常没有问题MQqZQ5wPOQ;bvu.。”
针对生病时锻炼，拉斯沃斯基医生和其他专家有一套一般经验法则yvXD7A4fCkfCeGb。他解释说，如果症状全在“颈部以上”，那通常可以进行锻炼igGYq@lg1h![J=,y。这些症状包括流鼻涕、鼻塞、打喷嚏或轻微的喉咙疼痛6_B2-giB5pjt*L。
拉斯沃斯基补充说，事实上锻炼会“打开鼻腔”，这可以使你感觉舒服些0;8IZ)Jj#a]VCx3_gHvN。这可能会暂时减少鼻塞症状，并帮助你更顺畅地呼吸tQm[grz)xTnD。
美国健康网站WebMD提供了类似的建议tChLM1Ecj0&&f9@-。
洁芮琳·库伯史密斯是一名体能教练，她著有多部关于锻炼和营养的书籍[.~xBKFaU1HV.c!H0f!0。库伯史密斯对WebMD网站表示：“一般来说，如果你只是有些流鼻涕，在吃药后就感觉好些了，那是可以进行锻炼的j9O]I%-^)DgI.!-。
然而，库伯史密斯和拉斯沃斯基医生均建议，如果疾病症状出现在“颈部以下”，那应该暂停锻炼.~C|j7qrSfYrp^nP^。如果出现胸闷、严重咳嗽或胃部疼痛等症状，那就需要警惕了!aRBaY@v#6[F5Xn(4yg。
还有其他症状说明应该避免锻炼NseL2ptNQ[Wgrc。这些症状包括：
发烧，
极度疲劳，又称劳累，
大范围肌肉疼痛A5jI]fmGQ52jS。
WebMD网站的专家库伯史密斯补充说，如果你感觉胸闷，“那进行锻炼是不明智的行为”NQH3&GXoCmKaV2。
她和拉斯沃斯基医生都建议人们听身体的话*N||xI@q~j+。如果你感觉非常难受，那就停止锻炼，让你的身体休息一下L&n99kF^FvezzG。
如果你感觉不太难受，这些专家建议你降低锻炼强度TbiGFYx3WkO。举例来说，如果你通常用跑步来锻炼，那你可以改成快走|^qmxUiIaDy[notmHeC。
梅奥医疗中心的专家补充说，“生病时几天不锻炼应该不会影响你的运动表现xyvQsuYh|9iP。”
在你感觉好些以后可以恢复平常的运动强度Lc]3)3YX)B2。但是，拉斯沃斯基医生警告称，如果你不只是普通感冒，那锻炼可能会导致“更严重的受伤或疾病”0-P)dM;#c+CP17。
