How does your body let you know that you’re tired? When I can’t keep my eyes open

If you have a cold, or the flu, how does the body react?   You sneeze a lot, you can’t stop coughing  (sounds like “coffee” or “coffin”)

Why do people sigh?

Do you ever take any exercise that makes you out of breath? Is it good for you?  Climbing the steps up from Sveavägen always makes me out of breath.  I was out of breath running for the bus.  I gave up smoking because I was often out of breath doing simple activities.

How long can you hold your breath?
