But not always decreases immunity is the result of hard training.
 For example, caries problems in athletes is explained by the fact that in the process of training is used more often breathe through the mouth, and the gym is not an absolute feature purity. When you breathe through your nose, about 50-60 percent of dust and bacteria in the nasopharynx remains and so does not enter directly into the body, but the cause of lowered immunity.

Consequently untreated cholecystitis can infect the gastrointestinal tract. Until the disease is completely curable.
