Answer:

The correct answer is C. OIs are the common cause of death of people with HIV/AIDS.

Explanation:

Opportunistic infections are the infection that occurs frequently in those persons who have a weak immune system. A healthy immune system does not allow opportunistic infections to occur.

In HIV/AIDS, the immune system becomes weak due to the reduction in helper T Cells by the virus. This weekend immune system in AIDS allows the opportunistic microbes to attack and infect the body which further results in the death of the person infected with HIV.

Therefore it is true that opportunistic infections like cryptococcal meningitis, candidiasis, etc are common causes of death of people having HIV AIDS.

Imagine you have two friends, Jose and Jessie. Jose is a gifted athlete, but Jessie lives a sedentary lifestyle. Jose and Jessie
makkiz [27]

Answer:

First of all, Jose and Jessie have a big difference when it comes to physical health and condition. Jessie is not able to perform the same exercises as Jose, neither the same intensity, and they cannot have the same goal.

So, for Jessie improve her flexibility we have to consider low intensity exercises, specifically, aerobic exercises, like walking, dancing, jogging at a low pace, pilates and yoga. Jessie, as a sedentary person most consider to do those aerobic activities three times per week, at least 30 minutes to ensure that she is demanding enough effort from her body, but all at low intensity.

In addition, before and after each session, Jessie must stretch her body, between 15 and 30 minutes, this way she will improve her flexibility and her energy level through aerobic processes.

On the other hand, Jose has to perform more intense exercises, which also involve aerobic respiration. When it comes to flexibility we consider aerobic exercises because they use oxygen as a source of energy, and this will also improve the endurance which is important to improve flexibility.

So, Jose can do Suicids Runs, which is a high performance exercises which sedentary people cannot do. These type of exercises will improve endurance and flexibility, because it will help to muscle elasticity. Also, Jose  will perform side lunges, jumping jacks, squats and push-ups, which are focused in specific part of the body.

For both, we recommend to ingest water-based diets, because it has big importance when it comes to flexibility.
