Why do you sweat when exerting energy?

Ok. . .let me correct this terrible terrible wrong that was originally written here. The body is like a machine much like a car or computer even. Machines when exerting energy also create great heat; due to mechanism within us called "homeostasis", which seeks to create balance like keeping our body temperature regulated and stable. Basically we take oxygen and water not only for the typical reason but to also to cool down our body, as water is absorbed through our stomach lining and oxygen is absorbed through our lung tissue each is taken directly into our blood stream to our respective organs and muscle tissue that need it most. Which is why when we work harder our blood moves faster to get oxygen and water to our parts faster much like a radiator and oil pump in a car. Blood when getting to the muscles that need it most pick up waste from our muscles while simultaneously dropping off fresh water and oxygen for it to use. . .of course blood can't handle the whole load so we also in addition to blood simply push the residual waste to the top epidermal layer of the skin (sweat). . . .The rest of course is taken to the kidneys, filtered out and dropped in our bladder awaiting expulsion.

How much weight can you lose in a month by only eating a tablespoon of salad a day?

As much as you want. But, it depends on the salad. Dressings are often very heavy on fat and calories, especially creamy dressings like ranch or blue cheese. Although they don't photograph salads this way, the best way to ensure good dressing flavor with minimum dressing is to measure out a serving of dressing (read the bottle) put it in a bowl with the salad and toss them together to get a little dressing on every piece. Adding "crispy" (aka fried) chicken or any other fatty food is also a way to make your salad less lean. Try grilled chicken or fish. Hope this helps!

Short term effects on circulatory system?

The short term effects on the circulatory system from exercise are many, and this answer will only briefly touch the subject. The most prominent short term effect of exercise is an increase in sympathetic nervous activity (by way of adrenaline). This leads to an increased heart rate, and an increased cardiac output (more blood is pumped each heartbeat), as well as a dilation (widening) of capillaries in skeletal muscles and lungs, and constriction (tightening) of capillaries in non-vital organs (the digestive tract and reproductive organs decrease their activity). This allows the blood and the oxygen to go where it is needed the most.

What does fat provide to the body?

Calories burnt while jump rope?

If you walk 25 minutes 4 times per week how much weight can you lose?

Do anorexic people work out if so how much?

"no they just don't eat anorexic people don't eat anything so they wouldn't have the energy." This is completely false. Obviously, if you don't have an eating disorder you shouldn't be answering questions involving them. I am anorexic ANDbulimic & I exercise for hours at a time. It has NOTHING to do with the amount of energy that you have. It all involves losing weight & you'll do whatever it takes to get to your goal weight. I have an eating disorder website, MySpace & YouTube account for other eating disordered girls & I haven't talked to a single one that isn't an excessive over-exerciser. I am utterly repulsed by the answer previously given. Please, do NOT listen to anything this moron says in the future.
