In order for a physical barrier to be effective in preventing infection, the barrier must be able to prevent a pathogen from entering the body, trap the pathogen when it first enters the body or flush it out of the body. Physical barriers of the body include the skin, mucous membranes, earwax, tears, mucus and stomach acid. The normal flow of urine also washes out microorganisms that try to enter the urinary tract. When the bladder empties, it flushes out any bacteria that may be attempting to reach it

You can add physical activity minutes to your day by riding a bicycle instead of riding a car. True or false
Travka [436]

True, because you're not being active when you drive a car, or ride in one. Riding your bike is an excellent form of aerobic exercise. It allows you to engage large muscle groups in a sustained activity, which elevates your heart rate and delivers a wide variety of health benefits. Running burns more calories than cycling, and it can make your heart work a little harder.
