-Wear flip-flops, around the pool, in the gym's showers, locker areas, or any other public area that is warm, moist, or wet.

-If it is too hot, wear sandals or any shoe that prevents sweating.

-Use socks that absorb sweat or that dry fast.

-Wash and dry your feet every day.

- Alternate between different pairs of shoes so that they are not wet from sweating off the previous day.

The fungus that causes Athletes foot lives in warm and moist places, so to prevent catching it, we have to keep our feet dry and clean. Most of all, we have to avoid being in contact with objects or surfaces that have a high chance of having this fungus, such as moist and warm areas. Also, it is of high importance to keep our shoes dry and clean to prevent the athlete's foot's fungus from growing in these places.

What distinguishes mass from weight ?

 Mass is constant and does not depend on gravity, Where As <span>Weight is the force something exerts from its acceleration due to gravity.

Example: </span>A 100 g sample is 100 g on the earth, on the moon, wherever. <span>Since the force of gravity varies, this amount can vary greatly depending on where the thing was weighed. Even on earth the difference in the force of gravity between different elevations is sufficient for an object's weight to be different.</span>

What takes place when you inhale and exhale
Hatshy [7]
Breathing In (Inhalation)

When you breathe in, or inhale, your diaphragm contracts (tightens) and moves downward. This increases the space in your chest cavity, into which your lungs expand. The intercostal muscles between your ribs also help enlarge the chest cavity. They contract to pull your rib cage both upward and outward when you inhale.

As your lungs expand, air is sucked in through your nose or mouth. The air travels down your windpipe and into your lungs. After passing through your bronchial tubes, the air finally reaches and enters the alveoli (air sacs).

Through the very thin walls of the alveoli, oxygen from the air passes to the surrounding capillaries (blood vessels). A red blood cell protein called hemoglobin (HEE-muh-glow-bin) helps move oxygen from the air sacs to the blood.

At the same time, carbon dioxide moves from the capillaries into the air sacs. The gas has traveled in the bloodstream from the right side of the heart through the pulmonary artery.

Oxygen-rich blood from the lungs is carried through a network of capillaries to the pulmonary vein. This vein delivers the oxygen-rich blood to the left side of the heart. The left side of the heart pumps the blood to the rest of the body. There, the oxygen in the blood moves from blood vessels into surrounding tissues.

(For more information on blood flow, go to the Health Topics How the Heart Works article.)

Breathing Out (Exhalation)

When you breathe out, or exhale, your diaphragm relaxes and moves upward into the chest cavity. The intercostal muscles between the ribs also relax to reduce the space in the chest cavity.

As the space in the chest cavity gets smaller, air rich in carbon dioxide is forced out of your lungs and windpipe, and then out of your nose or mouth.

Breathing out requires no effort from your body unless you have a lung disease or are doing physical activity. When you're physically active, your abdominal muscles contract and push your diaphragm against your lungs even more than usual. This rapidly pushes air out of your lungs.
