It’s important to keep you muscles healthy, you can keep them healthy by…..

-with exercise
Always stretch before exercising to reduce risk of muscle pull or other injuries.
Mix up your exercise, try to do different things because if you stick to the same thing you muscles effectiveness will decreases dramatically.
Always do a cold down after doing exercise.
Do exercise that increases your heart rate, like running swimming and walking.

-with nutrition
Eat plenty of fruit and vegetable because they are full of vitamins and minerals.
Select low-fat or non-fat dairy products. Dairy products are rich in calcium. Strong bones are the foundation for building healthy muscles.
Get your protein from meat, poultry, fish, nuts, eggs and beans. Proteins are the building blocks for bones and muscles.

A lot of people these days eat fast foods and takeaways as it is more convenient and easy for a lot of people, especially people that are quite busy. People nowadays are working, taking care of their children or out of home a lot and often get too tired and lazy to cook a nutritious meal.
If you do not exercise often enough or eat properly and enough, this will result in damage to your digestive system. There are certain things you have to think about before you eat. You must maintain a balanced healthy diet, exercise frequently and eat little junk foods in order to keep your digestive system healthy.
A few ways to keep your digestive system healthy is to eat slowly. Most people eat fast and finish their meals quite speedily. Chewing slowly and properly is proven to help our bodies digest our food. Avoiding oily and fatty foods also helps our digestive system ad oil makes it harder for our enzymes to break down the food we have already eaten. Eating a lot of green and leafy vegetables helps improves out metabolism as fresh fruits and vegetables that are rich in fiber also help take out the toxic foods in our body and help detoxify the human body. Two things that also help digestion are onions and garlic. They also reduce extra fats from previously eaten food. Water helps the digestive system a lot as well, but people say not to drink ice cold water after meals. Exercising also helps the metabolic rate.

Hello I am Dr. Pedro and I am 13 years old. I work at the Frankston Hospital at Frankston VIC and I also studied in Frankston, at Monash University. I am happy to be in this version of Survivor MD because I want to show the world my medical skills and what you can do if you are committed and, maybe, inspire younger generations. My skills include my vast knowledge of muscles, their power, how to keep them healthy etc. I am also good on prevention of diseases and, at least people tell me that, I can figure what diseases are quite quickly.

Keeping your muscles healthy
Food:
1. Swap refined grain (e.g. white bread) for whole grain (e.g. wholegrain bread).
2. Eat some fruit right before you exercise (not too much though, because it could lead to fat build-up).
3. Try eating low-fat or non-fat dairy products (e.g. milk, cheese).
4. Get protein from meat, poultry, beans and things of that type.
Exercise:
1. Stretch before doing any type of exercise to reduce risks of injury.
2. Warm up before doing an intense workout/playing sports to slowly increase your heart rate.
3. Practice exercises that increase your heart rate to keep your heart active and healthy.
4. Change your routine of exercises often so the effectiveness does not decrease.
5. Try to work all you muscle groups in different combinations.
6. Avoid muscle cramping by cooling down and bringing your heart rate to its resting rate.

4 ways to keep your urinary system healthy:
1. Drink lots of water
To keep your urinary system healthy and free of blockages it is very important to drink water when you are thirsty. The American Dietetic Association recommends that you drink 8 normal size cups of water a day.

2. Don’t eat too much salt
If you have too much salt in your diet can lead to high blood pressure which can lead to damage to the kidneys. A high salt diet can also be the cause of the development of kidney stones.

3. Reduce your Caffeine intake
Any caffeinated beverages can irritate the bladder by increasing your need to urinate more often.

4. If you are female wipe from front to back
Both the anus and rectum have a lot of bacteria. If you wipe from front to back it ensures that you won’t get urinary tract infections.

The challenge that we just received was researching a disease that affects our system, I focused on peptic or gastric ulcers which are caused by H. Pylori bacteria, some of the difficulties I found in this challenge was what it does to the stomach, this was hard to research but the answers were found in the end. I have learnt that stomach ulcers tear the inner lining of the stomach, if there are complications it can lead to death and to get rid of it you have to be rid of the bacteria.
