Question by NiteOwl: What exercise equipment should i use to loose weight? Especially around my stomach?
I’ve been running a bit on the treadmill lately, mostly for exercise, but I really want to work off extra fat, especially around my stomach. My neighborhood has a gym with most exercise equipment. Which should I use?
I’m a 15 year old girl too if that changes anything.

Use the ten lb weight bar on your shoulders, and twist. Use any equipment that is marked for abdominals. Use the Swiss ball. Do mat work. Use the stair master if they have it. Focus on contracting the abdominals. View the posters on the wall for ideas if they have them, or talk to the desk clerk about an orientation. At that time, ask a lot of questions about the various machines or book a trainer for one session, and tell the trainer your needs.

I don’t understand why it works.

Logic tells me it shouldn’t do anything.

I am a skeptic of this sort of thing but my ex-husband swears by it.

But

Rescue Remedy works like a charm for my ex-husband, myself and my 21 year old daughter.

Electric vehicles should not use household supply

City layout of electric vehicle charging piles, the “at home to charge it?” “How many full time energy to run away ah?”

Driving range is generally more than 100 km

“Compared to traditional fuel vehicles, apart from the use of low-cost, zero-emission driving, low noise, energy efficiency, the advantages of diversification of energy sources, the electric car is also some bad points.” Quanzhou electrical Board official said, there are now electric cars a relatively short driving range, HP PAVILION DV6000 Battery technology was not mature enough, use lithium batteries are more expensive electric cars and other shortcomings.

According to reports, the current use of electric vehicles on the market after a single charge driving range is generally 100-300 km. However, this figure needs to maintain an appropriate speed, and has good battery conditioning system can be guaranteed, most electric vehicles in general traffic environment driving range of about 100-200 kilometers. “In addition to the relatively short driving range, the battery technology has not yet been a breakthrough.” Quanzhou Electric Power Bureau to give reporters the calculations: the current good performance of the battery charge and discharge times up to 1000 times, discharge 200 times per year basis, a battery life of typically 5 years. In addition, the existing quality and the battery still larger problem.

Charging stand for 20 minutes full of Liu Cheng electricity

Quanzhou will build the first charge pile, people wonder maybe electric cars of the times coming. However, many people are most concerned about is the possibility of electric vehicles like electric bikes use the same power outlet for charging at home. According to the present information, Quanzhou Electric Power Bureau these people do not recommend this charge mode.

It is reported that electric automobile charging can be divided into slow charge and fast charge, slow charge and charging facilities, power size, the size of vehicle power, the time is different. BYD F3e these people to electric vehicles as an example, saying that the battery rated capacity of 120 Ah, and the average family of 4 kW power supply, electrical power at the same time ensure that other cases, less allowable charge current (about the highest in the 8-10 safety), electric vehicle charging time is very long. On the other hand, the electric vehicle battery charging and discharging the technical requirements are very high charge and discharge to ensure the safety and extend battery life and reliability, require special management system (BMS) on the battery system, charge and discharge process to monitor and management. “The family is not charged with such a socket technology.”

Electric vehicle charging facilities can be divided into AC and charging station charging pile into two categories. AC charging power generally do not pile more than 7 kilowatts, while the single charging station charging facilities power, 7 kW, 10 kW, 30 kW, 60 kilowatts in four grades. Charging Station from the scale is divided into large, medium, small, electric power from 90 to 300 kilowatts, which can accommodate from 3 to 10 electric vehicles at the same time charging. With the FUJITSU LIFEBOOK C2220 of electric vehicles, the residential area parking lot will gradually complete the exchange charge pile construction, made it more convenient for charging electric vehicles.

Homeopathy Remedies, Should We Take Them Seriously?

Homeopathy is an alternative, or some like to say complimentary, treatment, which uses formulations called remedies. These remedies are prepared from all natural ingredients such as plants, minerals, metals, and even insects. Some of which would normally be regarded as poisonous in their normal state.

Homeopathy remedies are not habit forming (addictive) and non-toxic. This does sound a bit contrary to the previous paragraph where it was stated that some ingredients used are normally regarded as poisonous. However the reason that properly prepared homeopathic treatments are non-toxic is that remedies are diluted many, many times.

This is a process referred to by homeopathy practitioners as “potentization”. In fact by homeopathic standards the more dilute a remedy is, the more effective or “potent” it becomes. Often being diluted to the point where not a single molecule of the originial ingredients can be detected.

This brings us to one of the controversies surrounding homeopathy remedies. How can they possibly have any effect at all with no active ingredient? A very valid question, are patients just taking very expensive water? Just a point here, actually these remedies are comparitively cheap compared to more conventional drugs, but for water, yes expensive.

Proponents of homeopathy remedies will reply to this that water has a “memory” which retains the properties of the original ingredients. That being as it may, there have been studies over the years which certainly seem to back up the fact that in many cases these remedies do work.

Samuel Hahnemann (1755-1843) is recognised as the founder of modern homeopathy. Although it is certain that it was practised in one form or another for centuries prior to his findings. Hahnemann coined the word “Homeopathy” to describe his treatment, from the Greek Homois (like) and Pathos “suffering). His principle being The Law of Similars (That which makes sick shall heal).

Having made his initial discovery whilst researching into malaria (noting the toxic effects of the cinchona bark, containing quinine, which was being used even then to control malaria’s effects), he started experimenting upon himself, and even used his own seven children as guinea pigs for his experiments. He found and documented hundreds of plants together with their effects.

Homeopathy remedies rely on stimulating the body’s own defences, rather than treating the symptoms of any particular ailment. They also aim to treat the whole person, including the spiritual.

Homeopathy should not be confused, as it often is, with herbal therapies. Although of course hopmeopathy does use herbs in its preparations, it is a distinct autonomous system of healing in itself.

Homeopathy remedies can be in liquid or tablet form, and the common dosage would usually be three times a day for up to three days, or whenever the symptoms start to diminish. Unlike other forms of conventional treatment there is no “course” of treatment that must be taken, even if you feel better. With homeopathy, as soon as the patient feels better the treatment stops. There is no furthur benefit to be had by continuing.

The increasing popularity of homeopathy remedies can undoubtedly be put down to, amongst other things, the relative low cost of treatment, and its lack of any side effects. It is being taken seriously by many. In fact in India these treatments are dispensed to large areas of the population that would otherwise be unable to afford any medication at all.

The results have been little short of amazing. Maybe we in the western world should be taking it seriously too.

Don’t know if anyone can shed light on what this could be, but since about midday I’ve had pain in my lower abdomen which has been getting steadily worse. It’s not agony, but it’s making me feel a bit sick and the area is quite hard and tender to touch. I had it about 2 weeks ago while I was on my period but thought it was just period pain being a bit unprediactable, but now it’s come back I’m not so sure. It kind of makes me want to hunch over – standing and sitting up in a chair make it worse. It’s a sort of sharp ache, if that makes sense, and gets worse with big or sudden movements like standing up.

I’m asking on here first because I’m living away from home at the moment and am not registered with a doctor, AND am in rehearsal for a play full-time, so if anyone’s got any thoughts as to what it could be or any remedies, traditional or homeopathic, I’m open to suggestions! Obviously if it rings true of anything nasty (google searches have suggested possible endometriosis?) then of course I will try to get checked out, but it’s too late tonight so figured I might as well see if anyone has an inkling.

Other details…
1) My friend said the symptoms are very similar to when she had an ectopic pregnancy but I haven’t had sex for over a month, have had periods as normal and haven’t put on weight, so that seems pretty unlikely.
2) My diet over the last week hasn’t been too great but it hasn’t been junk food either, just not much in the way of fibre.
3) An STD is not impossible but unlikely – I’ve only had one partner and he said he was clear (and I am 100% sure he wouldn’t lie if he knew differently)
4) Passing water doesn’t hurt at all – the other kind did a bit. I don’t have diarrhoea or constipation though.
5) I don’t have a headache or temperature
6) I am a bit sleep deprived at the moment due to there being a mouse loose in my bedroom and being woken up in the wee small hours!
7) I have no history or family history of endometriosis, PCS, ectopic pregnancy, or any conditions that I know of.

Any suggestions gratefully welcomed!

I’m 29 and I read that women in their 20′s should start to use anti-aging products on their faces. What are some good skin care products to use on my face to keep it looking young?

From what I’ve read Marshmallow Root should be taken separately from other medications because it can reduce their effects, but does the same hold true to other herbs? I’m currently taking Fenugreek and Blessed Thistle with it and wouldn’t want to hinder their effects by taking it with the Marshmallow Root.
I’m currently taking these in pill form – they were all suggested to me to help with lactation.

exfoliate daily with either alpha-hydroxy cream, or a facial scrub. I have been using a cream called Pentaxyl which is supposed to treat fine lines and wrinkles. But I am skeptical of anything that is not FDA-approved. Too many snake oil salesmen.
I heard of some prescription cream called Renova or Retin-A. What is the difference between these two? Is there anything else that i should know about how to take care of my skin?

I’m sick of being sick. Is there any vitamins I could take to prevent sickness? Are there any foods I should be on the look out for?
Please help. I need to stop missing work due to being sick.

Vitamin D is constantly in the news today. While we know it’s good for our bone health, now we are hearing that vitamin D is related to a wide variety of health issues and that people are often deficient in vitamin D. To understand the benefits, it is important to understand the basics about vitamin D and why it’s so important to good health.
What is Vitamin D?
Vitamin D is a vitamin that is actually produced in our body. In order for the body to produce vitamin D, it must be exposed to adequate sunlight (about an hour per week). The vitamin D that we get from the sun and from fortified foods must then be converted to an active form in our body. This involves both the liver and the kidneys. The active form of vitamin D is vitamin D3 or calcitriol. As we get older, we may produce less vitamin D. In addition, most of us in the Northwest do not get adequate sunlight to produce vitamin D.
What does it do?
Vitamin D is most well known for its involvement with bone health. It is necessary to absorb calcium. Therefore, people with low vitamin D levels may be more likely to suffer from osteoporosis or joint pain. However, new research is showing that vitamin D has many more functions in the body than just helping our bones.
Vitamin D also effects the neuromuscular and immune systems and can reduce inflammation. Because of these functions, vitamin D deficiency has been related to a variety of disease states including: autoimmune disorders, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, multiple sclerosis, osteoarthritis and osteoporosis.
Where do I get vitamin D?
The best sources of vitamin D are the flesh of fish including tuna, mackerel and salmon along with fish liver oils. Fortified foods such as milk, orange juice, yogurt and some cereals also contain vitamin D.
How much vitamin D do I need?
The recommended amount of vitamin D for adults per the Institutes of Medicine Recommended dietary levels are: 200 IU for people 50 years or younger, 400 IU for 51-70 years and 600 IU for those over aged 70. This is the amount needed to prevent the bone disease rickets so is most likely not adequate to support the other functions of vitamin D in the body. These recommendations will be reviewed this year and are most likely to increase to at least 400 IU for younger adults and 800 IU to 1000 IU for older adults.
Who is at risk for vitamin D deficiency?
Those at risk of vitamin D deficiency include breastfed infants, older adults, people with limited sun exposure, people with dark skin, those who can not absorb fat and people with a body mass index greater or equal than 30.
How do I know if I am deficient?
The best way is to have your vitamin D level measured. This will give your doctor the tool to help determine the appropriate vitamin D supplement level for you.
Can I take too much vitamin D?
Excessive vitamin D may cause nausea, vomiting, poor appetite, weight loss, weakness and constipation along with raising calcium levels. If both calcium and vitamin D are taken as supplements in excess, there is more of a risk for kidney stones or soft tissue calcification. Again the best way is to have your levels checked to see what is the right treatment for you.
