When we were still young our parents brought us to our pediatricians to have shots of vaccines to prevent certain disease from entering our body. Since babies have weaker immunity against sickness. Now that we’re grown-ups we don’t need to worry about those diseases since we already had shots before to prevent them. Wrong! You may believe nowadays that vaccines are only for babies or kids but the truth about is that vaccine are also essentials even in our adulthood. The reason is that: nobody is immune all disease and some vaccinations need continued follow-up to ensure their efficiency. In fact, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, we become more susceptible to serious diseases caused by common infections as we grow older.

Joggers, and especially marathon runners, in a hot, humid-climate such as is found in many areas of the Far East, face additional risks. Circulation of blood to internal organs, having been diverted to the muscles, becomes very deficient. Because of lack of blood flow to the kidneys, the blood pressure can go dangerously high. Deficient blood flow to the liver results in insufficient nutrition to the liver cells. The blood may clot too easily, thus occasionally contributing to a heart attack, and even death.
A more frequent complication, especially in hot, humid countries, is hyperthermia (over-heating). The body becomes so hot that even brain damage may result.
