7.10.10 Celiac's Disease and Exercise

1. The actual tasks you completed: I researched Celiac disease and how exercise can help it.
2. The progress you made toward your desired outcome(s): This was a tough topic. Because exercise can’t directly impact the disease nor prevent the disease it was tough to find information. Though there is information on other disease that may be a result of celiac disease.
3. The lessons you learned: Exercise is important, while you have celiac disease. The disease can often lead to malnutrition. Because the body doesn’t receive the nutritent that it needs from food. This is important to consider, especially because of calcium. Often time the bones become weaker, because they do not have the calcium and vitamin D that they need. So it is important to do weight baring exercise that will help to increase bone density. Exercise would include: Walking, run, elliptical, ect. Water exercise is good, but not the best, because your body doesn’t receive the weight on its bones. High impact exercise could be very bad if you have weak bones.
