very well today

everybody gets sick even robot rats and

getting the cold or flu can be sort of

scary but sometimes the more you know

about something the less scary it is so

sweet and I decided to take a look back

at everything we've learned about how we

get sick and what we can do to feel

better

first why did it in the first place and

what is your body do to help you feel

better when they get cold outside it's

time to bundle up and take good care of

yourself because cool weather time it's

cold and flu season you heard of cold

everyone gets them that's when you get

me and copy and maybe you're running a

temperature and flow is just another

kind of cold and it's really no fun in a

CPL 1804 and hot and all-around

miserable but have you ever wondered

what causes a cold and the flu

what they're both caused by something

called a virus viruses are very small

too small to see you met with most

microscopes they can make a big

difference in your body though because

they can make you sick

yes weeks since viruses can make a sick

we sometimes call them germs but not all

germs are viruses but the ones that can

cause the flu and cold definitely are

now in order to make you sick

the flu virus have to get into your body

first it usually gets in through our

nose or mouth or our eyes and once we

give him the virus starts to make copies

of itself until there are locks every

one of them in there but don't worry

your body has ways to fight back it

might seem kind of weird but sometimes

if the things that your body doesn't

fight the virus and other germs that

makes you feel kind of yucky

take for example mucus that's the sticky

running stuff that comes out of your

nose your body makes mucus to trap the

flu virus and other germs that are in

your nose and mouth when you get run

down your nose

it carries the flu virus with it along

with other stuff your body have used to

knock them out gross maybe but it works

when you get run down the back your

throat after awhile it can make it hurt

to that

don't you sometimes get a sore throat

when you're sick but washing out the

virus even the only thing your body can

do to fight the flu can you think of

another thing that most of us do when

we're not feeling very well you're right

weeks we need when you sneeze air comes

out of your mouth and throat really

quickly as the air boom by it picks up

some of the virus pieces and carries

them outside of your body so sleeping is

your body's way of sending viruses and

other germs on their way now if you've

ever had the flu

you probably know what a fever is a

fever is another way that our bodies try

to get rid of the virus when germs are

inside your body you can make itself

hotter than normal and guess what

viruses hate that because want to give

too hot it's harder for the viruses to

make copies of themselves and that helps

your body get rid of germs more easily

so your body has lots of cool ways to

defend itself but what else can you do

to make yourself feel better when you

get sick

well I'm giving lots of rest is one of

the best things you can do when you're

not feeling well when you rescue scene

energy and your body can use that energy

to get rid of the virus

another thing you can do is drink a lot

healthy things like water from juices

and even soup will give your body the

things that needs to help you get

feeling better soon

of course the best thing to do is to not

get sick in the first place and to help

with that the number one thing to do is

wash your hands

oh ha plain old warm water and soap can

go a long way in keeping you from

getting sick

it's especially important to wash your

hands when you get home from school or

the store and remember how we said that

the flu virus often get in through your

nose mouth and eyes

the other thing you can do is to keep

your hands away from these parts of your

body as much as you can even though it

can be hard to remember sometimes and

you can also keep them from spreading to

other people by covering up your costume

sneezes remember yours are leaving your

body and going into the air when you

cough entreat so if you can have your

mouth the nose of the tissue and then

roll the tissue away and then wash your

hands if you can't get you a tissue in

time then cough into your elbow instead

of your hands so try to keep clean and

stay healthy even go outside and enjoy

the cold weather

Oh squeeze you know you want to cover

your nose need you will need to fix hill

it's all right buddy here you go

hi leaving is one way your body keeps

germs and other gross stuff out so you

don't cover your mouth you might just

get everyone around you your germs

hey it's cleaning day today we're doing

a little tidying up around the fort

we're sweeping and dusting oh yeah I

said the Pixies you know when I think

about it

leaving not the only time I sneeze

sometimes I speed when I'm around

flowers and I think a lot when I have a

cold and I bet you can think of some

things that make you sneeze to it

happens everyone's what have you ever

wondered why everything starts right

inside your nose the inside of your nose

is covered with a lot of really tiny

really fine hairs and there's also a lot

of mucus inside your nose

yep mucus the same gooey sticky stuff

that showed up in your tissue when you

blow your nose the hair and mucus work

together to catch tiny particles that

are in the air that you breathe in like

six of dust or pollen from flowers or

even a pepper you might put on your food

these things quad up the inside of your

nose causing it to get irritated which

means it feels kinda quickly

you might also feel that pickup when

you're sick that's because the inside of

your nose is being attacked by lots and

lots of tiny little things like viruses

or bacteria when you're not get

irritated by any of these things

extensive signal to your brain that

tells it

we got to get this stuff out of your

nose it's time to sneeze you taking a

big breath there the muscles in your

belly chest and drop off please really

hard

you close your eyes and then the air

leave your nose enough in a big-name

blast show which hopefully clears all

those irritating things out of your nose

some scientists study sneezes and they

found its needing can set their flight

out of her nose and mouth at over 100

km/h that's fascism race cars and

speeding and what called a reflex a

reflex is something that your body does

without you having to think about it

blinking is another kind of reflex when

Dustin other little things that bother

your I

and so it coughing if something is

picking your throat reflexes help

protect our bodies from getting hurt or

becoming sick so leaving help you keep

healthy like query on the inside of your

nose if you didn't meet some of the

particles or germs inside your nose

might move deeper inside your body and

soul might make you sick

a nice big sneeze also how cruel that

all the little hairs inside your notes

and spread around fresh new kids inside

you know to get it all ready to trap

more particles but when you sneeze don't

forget to cover it up because air isn't

the only thing that leaves your body

when your nose starts to go off meeting

also glass the light more spit and a lot

of germs from our mouth into the air

around us some scientists think that

germs watched by sneeze can travel about

16 years which is also half the length

of a football field

so when you please it's important to

keep those germs from spreading like

putting something in front of them if

you don't have a TV heavy into your

elbow and don't forget to wash it with

soap and water afterwards and remember

me safely and keep healthy whole having

a runny nose is no fun but boogers are

an important part of your body and I

German security systems not is really

sticky so I can trap door before they

get farther into your body so it's

helpful stuff all even if it's pretty

gross

you're in the handicap for those of you

who haven't a half a human body when

something comes out of your body on a

regular basis your body's probably got a

good reason for getting rid of it like

how sometimes if there's too much gas in

our stomachs will just go right back up

the way came in and and generally

speaking the same idea goes for whatever

you might find coming out of your nose

our noses get full of climbing doing

sometimes crusty stuff you know what I'm

talking about

boogers and yeah those are pretty gross

but keep in mind that almost everything

that makes up our bodies have a purpose

that is until it's time for it to leave

so where do boogers come from and why

are they there

let's start with what happens when you

take in a breast when you breathe in or

inhale you're not only pulling air into

your lungs

you're also taking in a lot of what

floating around in the air stuff that's

too small to see like dust and dirt

going from plants local other kinds of

pollution and germs in these things get

into your body they could make you sick

but thankfully your body have a powerful

weapon to help trap these things before

they can get too far and that weapon is

mucus

yep the same gooey slimy snot that club

w tissue and runs out of your nose when

you have a cold or allergies that stuff

has a purpose when you breathe in and

out air moves through your mouth and
