Is it possible to loose 80 pounds in 3 months?
It depends on the starting weight. It would be very easy for someone who was overweight by 100 pounds to lose that much without it being dangerous. For someone that is close to a good weight already it would be very hard. A pound a week is a pretty good rate, but the first couple of weeks could be a more.
AnswerIn short, yes. Generally, it's considered safe to gain or lose no more than 2 pounds per week. So, 30 pounds would just be slightly over that. Gaining or losing weight beyond 2 pounds per week causes stress to the body, most dangerously, to the heart.
But this is a general answer for the average person. When planning large weight lossor gain, it's best to consult your doctor first as there may be factors specific to the person that may make such gain or loss dangerous.
It's also important to keep in mind that, in general, the faster you lose it, the faster you'll likely gain it back. Weight loss come as a natural result of a long-term lifestyle change in diet and exercise. Rapid weight-loss diets rarely last beyond the short-term.
Why does blood pressure decrease after long term exercise?
Yes your blood pressure will decrease for a couple of different reasons: The first is that your blood vessels have dilated to provide muscles with an increase in oxygenated blood and the surface (peripheral blood vessels) will dilate to increase the rate of heat loss from the body. Over a sustained period of exercise (months) the blood vessels will become more elastic, decreasing the pressure on the vessel walls and more importantly on the left ventricle of the heart. There will be a similar decrease in your resting heart rate. Overall your cardiovascular system will become "younger".
How much solution goes into a flu vaccine?
That depends on a number of variables. Age, type of flu vaccine used, administration route (there are both intramuscular ~ IM, and a new intradermal ~ ID vaccine for the 2011-2012 flu season in the US), etc. which will alter the dosage. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has issued a table that shows these parameters and dosages. A link to this information is provided in the related links section below.

What are some of the most effective ways of losing weight?
There are several factors resulting into weight loss I'll mention the main factors that can help to reduce a lot of calories for weight loss
Workout: it can be running, working, push ups or anything that will increase heart beats this allows high blood flow in a body which creates a warm (hot) environment in a body that burns large amount of fats in a body which causes sweating hence weight loss.

Well balanced diet: to understand what kind of food to eat is very important thing since random eating results into accumulation of fats in a body which build up a lot of calories in a body so the use of fat/oil/lipids foods and fruits should be limited and also protein foods should be monitored.

Well it's sort of below the hip and belly bottom.
It originates from the lumber area of the back and extends to the pelvic iliac rim, the pass around the hip through the sciatic notch to the hip.
Why does blood pressure vary during exercise?
Because your heart works harder to get blood around your body also the fitter you are the less your blood pressure will rise. You can tell if your blood pressure has risen if your pulse/heart beat is faster.
AnswerDepending on what exercise you do your body will react differently.Aerobic exercise utilizes the large muscle groups to preform repetitive motions.
*walking, jogging, running, swimming, cycling, etc.
Isometric exercise involves a sustained contraction of individual or muscle groups.
*weight lifting
Of the two Aerobic exercise often puts a higher demand on the body as it is a constant and continual motion v/s isometric which usually has periods of rest between sets of activity.
Aerobic work depends on energy from the body to fuel the increase in oxygen demand. The muscles in use require oxygen to function and the increase in activity means an increase in the oxygen required which means that our bodies need additional energy to supply our muscles in order to continue to function properly. This is accomplished by our our increase in respiratory consumption (we breath faster and harder) to get more oxygen into our lungs, and into our blood. Also the increased respiration dumps the Co2 faster as we are now producing more than average during increased physical stress.
Our hearts also must pump more quickly to aid in this process. As our heart beats faster it also beat with a more forceful intensity to supplement our bodies new demand for energy and oxygen as well as byproduct removal.
Thus raising our blood pressure.
AnswerWhen exercising you blood needs to work harder to supply your muscles with more oxygen. Your heart does this by pumping more blood around the body with more powerful contractions which therefore raises your blood pressure. Your systolic blood pressure increases during exercise as the cardiovascular system delivers more blood to the working muscles and your diastolic blood pressure stays roughly the same or decrease slightly and this is all to do with the dilated blood vessels in the working muscles that let heat escape.What happens when you stop exercising?
when you stop exercising you start to get muscle break down, this is called atrophy. This is why if you do not work out for a long time then start again you will find it harder than you thought.

How do you get rid of a cough quick?
Sometimes drinking warm milk/water with honey in it can help, and since most cough medicine contains alcohol, you could consider adding an ounce or less of whiskey or vodka. Other times, you may need to try cough medicine. Try one that contains guaifenesin (Robitussin or store brand knock offs), since it is particularly good for treating non-productive coughs that an expectorant will help, as from the flu or a common cold.
And/or consult your pharmacist for suggestions of other over--the-counter (OTC) treatments that could help. They are always there, they provide the service free, and they are as (or more) knowledgeable about OTC medicines as is your doctor.
Or, if the cough lasts longer than 2 weeks or becomes more severe, then a trip to the doctor or other health care professional may be necessary for an exam to determine if the cough is due to something else such as a secondary infection, like pneumonia, that needs other treatment.
When you are just starting out, I would say in the early morning, or in the evening around sunset. Once you get experience, you can begin to be aware throughout your day, no matter what you are doing!
A 'stretch and sweep' or 'membrane sweep' is a form of induction used at the end of pregnancy. The practitioner (ob or midwife) will 'sweep' the membranes surrounding the baby in the area of the cervix. This is done with the finger (as opposed to an instrument) with the intention of separating these membranes from the cervix, inducing labor. For some it is painless, for others is creates the sensation of contractions.

How many miles do you have to run to burn calories?
As long as you are alive you are already burning calories. And the more physically active you are - the more you use your muscles - the more calories you burn. So how far you have to run depends on how many calories you are aiming to burn.
Me, I'll use up about 1000 cals on a 6-mile run.

M&S
How does exercise help you lose weight if muscle builds on fat?
the bigger your muscle becomes, bigger consume of energy after exercise. After aprox. 20 min of exercise you will use your energy from the fat, and if your intake of energy is less than your consume, is just math. Muscle doesn't build fat (it burns it) and muscle weighs more than fat. If you became a body builder and had good muscles and then years later didn't bother to keep up your exercise regime this is when the muscle would turn to fat. Muscle cannot turn to fat. But if you do not continue working it you will lose muscle mass and burn less calories. If you do not eat less or exercise more to compensate for this reduction in muscle mass than you will gain weight back in the form of fat.
