This is because they train extremely hard in order to sustain stamina and endurance so, their bodies don't get the chance to build muscle because they burn more than they consume.

Professional marathon runners are also skinny because they train so hard to sustain endurance. This prevents their bodies from bulking up because they burn almost all the calories that they consume. Unlike sprinters, who need muscles, marathon runners don't need muscles at all.

Which of the following would accompany a high-fat meal moving through the digestive system?
Anastaziya [24]
The answer is <span>The release of secretin, which triggers the liver to release bile.

Secretin is the hormone released from the duodenum. It signals the secretion of bile in the liver. Bile helps digestion of lipids in the stomach.
Through the process of elimination:
- Pepsin is a hormone that breaks down proteins to the smaller peptides. So, pepsin does not breaks down lipids of high-fat meal.
- Gastrin is a hormone that triggers the gastric glands to secrete hydrochloric acid and pepsinogen, inactive form of pepsin.</span>

Antibiotic resistance has become a major problem worldwide.
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

Educating people on the use of antibiotics

Explanation:

Antibiotics are becoming less effective because patients are not taking their full courses and providers are over prescribing them. Many people demand antibiotics not knowing that they are not useful for treating viral and fungal infections, thus allowing the bacteria already present inside of them to develop resistance. This also happens when a patient doesn't take all of their antibiotics. They may think that they feel fine after a few days of taking antibiotics and that they no longer have to take them, but in reality they are not free from the disease causing bacteria. The bacteria then have a chance to multiply again, this time with resistance to the treatment. Educating patients on conditions like sepsis and their mortality will help with medication adherence to decrease the likelihood of antibiotic abuse
