Exercise

Regular resistance exercise (weight lifting) and impact-based cardiovascular activity (such as running) can help to increase bone density. This effect suggests that such training, as part of a healthy lifestyle, can help to reduce the risk of osteoporosis

At the beginning it's possible, mainly because overweight people are getting the extra exercise of moving around the mounds of fat. Unfortunately, after we loose some of the extra weight it starts to get more difficult, partially because the body goes into "famine" mode, meaning that we start to protect our calories since the body is starting to prepare for famine, and partially because we start to loose muscle mass along with the fat. That's why severe diets aren't good for you. You need to make sure you have enough protein to let you keep your muscle mass and exercise to burn the calories. Any other program doesn't work.

basically everything (BR, TV etc.) increase within the first few minutes then plateau as exercsing continues

While it's something no one wants to go through, oftentimes it's inevitable: Knee replacement surgery. But does this mean exercise is off limits once you go through this surgery? "One of the biggest concerns that someone should have after total or partial knee replacement surgery is the longevity and health of the replacement," says Dr. Freddie Fu, a University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine Chairman of the Department of Orthopedic Surgery. In turn, he notes that high impact exercises, such as running, can lower how long knee replacements last--an average of 15 to 20 years, if you're being careful. But avoiding exercise completely to lengthen the lifespan of your knee replacement isn't a good idea, says Fu. Obesity can also shorten the life span of knee replacement due to the excess pressure it puts on the knees, and the best way to control obesity is by staying active. Instead, he recommends keeping your exercises low-impact. "The best activities are low impact," says Fu. So which exercises are best after knee replacement surgery? Swimming. Don't be mistaken: While it does feel good to go for a dip in the pool during the summer heat, swimming can be a very cardio-intensive workout. On the other hand, however, swimming puts no pressure on the joints thanks to the water, making it perfect for those with knee replacements. Walking. Walking is perfect for anyone, but those with knee replacements will benefit from walking because it's easy to do, somewhat easy on the joints, and can be done anywhere. Make sure to stick to flat terrain, however; Fu warns that uphill or downhill terrain can put extra strain on the knees. Biking. The bonus here is that it doesn't put any undue pressure on your knees, ensuring your knee replacement isn't impacted by the workout. Biking is also a great way to stay active and doubles as a way to get around the city. Overall, staying active--but keeping the exercises low-impact--may be the best way to ensure your knees stay healthy for years to come, says Fu. Don't forget to pair it with a healthy eating program, however; gaining too much weight can also impact the longevity of knee replacements.

cardiac output

The normal, resting heart rate for an adult who is 27 years old is between 60 and 100 beats per minute. It will be between 40 and 60 beats per minute for a well trained athlete.

If you are new to the world of working out, changes should come suprisingly fast--especially if you combine your workout with an appropriate diet, as well. People hear the word "diet" and think that means eating salads and no carbs. The truth is, a diet can be any calculated change in the way a person eats.

I, for example, initially wanted to lower my body fat percentage, so I combined working out with a very low calorie intake. When I got my body fat to a desirable percentage, I then went to work on building muscle, which takes a higher intake of proteins and a much higher caloric intake. Diet will greatly affect your exercise results.

After a couple of weeks you should notice some changes, but oftentimes a couple of days after a single workout you will feel a difference.

Type your answer here... What is the full form of BUMS?

i am also a 12 year old girl that is trying to lose wieght so my grandma said to help me to lose weight iis when your at the super marget look at the back of any type of food you like eating and try to make sure it has low sodium and sugar cause soduim and sugar is what makes you gain the wieght also to lose wiegiht try to eat early so you have time to lose that wieght and like after 5pm try to eat fruits or anything with low soudim and sugar .

If you have not been working your abdominal muscles, they will not receive as much blood as the working muscles. More commonly, it is the evaporating sweat from your midsection that makes it feel colder.

All you need to do is watch what you eat. Do not eat after 8:00pm, drink plenty of water, (it fills you up) do not drink too much. And if you do not do other activities walking is a really good source of exercise. And cut out sodas if you drink them, dark colored sodas are the worse. Try not to be too hard on yourself you are only 11, and your body changes so much from now until you are about 17. Good Luck and do not be so hard on yourself, stress causes belly fat!!

No it cant, just makes your period "cramps" less painful

Actually, it CAN; but regular (moderate) exercise won't delay your period. It is EXCESSIVE exercise that can delay your period, though. See the link below for more information:

An hour, if you can walk a thousand miles an hour.

A more reasonable walking speed is about 3 miles an hour, in which case it would take 333 hours 20 minutes to walk a thousand miles.

NOTE: I am not affiliated with "Weight Watchers" but have gone to them to lose weight for several years (just to get a kick-start every so often.) I've been there and done that. Other than the fact your hormones have changed (are still changing) you treat your body with weight issues just as you would if you weren't in menopause. It's true that women carry a layer of fat under their skin (men don't) but you can lose that weight.

Go to "Weight Watchers" as it's more about learning to eat right than a diet (you can eat almost anything and it doesn't disrupt your life.) Other diets (such as fasting or grapefruit diets, etc. are dangerous to your health.) Diet Centers where you "buy the food" is extremely costly and not realistic. YOU should be learning how to read labels on the food you buy to see what the sugar, fat and salt content is (it's not hard.) This way you can lose weight and still eat the same things your husband or children eat and you're not cooking two different meals (it's good for your husband and kids as well.)

Diets should contain low in fats, salt and sugar. Olive oil is excellent to use while cooking stir fries, etc. Poultry, fish, red meats (don't have to have red meat if you don't want too) that are lean and a woman only requires 3 1/2 ounces of protein at each meal. Lots of veggies (raw or cooked) leafy greens such as fresh spinach (NOT BAGGED), Brussels sprouts, broccoli. Yogurt, (Soy is suppose to be good, but some people are allergic to it and some people don't care for it.) 1% - 2% milk (with vitamin C supplements for good bones) butter in minimal quantities is better for you than margarine (read what's in margarine even though these brands are low in saturated fats.) Eggs, and low-fat cheese. Lots of whole grains (oatmeal and apples or applesauce has been proven to lower cholesterol). Good juices to drink are Cranberry Juice or Pomegranate juice which is high in antitoxidents and good for your kidneys and liver while low in sugars. A MUST IS 8 - 8 ounce glasses of water a day (flushes out fat and toxins in the body and keeps the kidneys and liver flushed out.)

Women don't realize that we have a lot of yeast build-up in our bodies which makes us feel bloated, can cause yeast infections and make us fat! Back-off of yeast A LITTLE AT A TIME. Instead of eating breads or buns, cakes, cookies, etc., make your sandwiches out of flat breads or have pita pockets, etc. Don't be afraid to "spice it up" instead of using too much salt or sugary things such as Ketchup (loaded with sugar.) Then introduce SOME yeast back into your body.

I AM REALLY RUSHED AND FIND IT HARD TO COME HOME AND MAKE A HEALTHY MEAL .... It isn't hard! When you make a stir-fry (lot of veggies) and bamboo shoots, and other oriental veggies (even canned) are good for you. You can make stir-fry with left-over chicken, beef, make it with prawns, shrimp. Make up enough for 2 - 3 meals and have one meal and freeze the other two (put your portion in a microwave dish or bag and freeze.) When you make a meal make it for two and freeze the second one. This cuts down on your time. Cottage cheese is good with fresh or tinned fruit (in own juices) over top, or add dill weed, chives on top. That's a quick lunch. Make healthy salads ... vegetable salads, chicken salads, seafood salads. Once you get into the swing of things you won't find it so difficult. I lost 45 lbs. and I do slip occasionally, but it doesn't take me long to get back into the swing of things.

HOW MUCH EXERCISE? You can go to a gym and work-out. Should be no less than 3 times per week. I do some weight training to tone muscles up because I'm in my 60s and of course we can lose muscle tone quickly. I go for fast walks every single day (rain or shine) with my dogs by the river for at least an hour. If I can't do the hour I will exercise at home to make up the 1/2 hour. You can go to a pool and swim, jog or fast-walk with a friend just around your neighbourhood (DON'T WEAR HEAD PHONES TO LISTEN TO MUSIC OR TALK TO SOMEONE ON YOUR CELL when jogging! You must be aware of who is around you at all times. If possible go with a friend or take your dog.

I know it sounds over-whelming, but honestly, once you learn to read labels and realize .... low fat, sugar, salt and yeast, lots of fresh fruit, veggies, 3 1/2 ounces of protein at each meal, 8 - 8 ounce glasses of water (I prefer bottled water) and that exercise you're on your way. You'll be surprised how quickly the weight melts off.

I do work from home on my computer and that's simply asking for a "big spread of the butt" so I stop, either go jogging or take my dogs for a fast walk by the river. It's invigorating, makes those chemicals in the brain start to work, you feel better, more energy and you sleep better. When people realize they have a weight problem and make an effort to do something about it and begin to see results they feel so much better about themselves. "Weight Watchers" is a wonderful way to learn to eat better because you can eat everything and still have fun with friends.

WHAT DO I DO WHEN I GO OUT SOCIALIZING: You can prep yourself during the day. Have your breakfast, perhaps cottage cheese with fruit on it for lunch and if you're going for dinner, you've just saved up some free calories. You can also do what I do ... "have a piggy night" on the weekend. Rewarding yourself is no crime. Don't over-do it, but don't be afraid to go out with friends and have a few drinks and some spicy chicken wings, or that too rich dinner. Then pick up the pace from then on and stick to your diet.

HOW CAN I KEEP "ME" GOING ON A DIET? If you stick to what I've just told you then in a month I want you to take your jeans or slacks and put them up to you. You'll be amazed just how much you have lost. Keep those jeans or slacks out so when you feel you're falling behind on your good eating habits just take a look at what you've achieved by holding those pants up to you. It won't take long before your friends and family notice either. When in doubt and if you don't think 1 lb. is a lot of weight to lose then just hold up a pound of butter and that's how much fat you've lost! Be warned that you will "plateau" and stay at a certain weight for possibly a month, but don't give up and keep at it. It's just the bodies way of regulating itself. You'll start to lose the rest of the weight.

DO MEDICATIONS PUT WEIGHT ON ME? You bet! Antidepressants (SSRIs) can put weight on you as can some other medications for a health disorder one may have, but the "Weight Watchers" diet will take care of this and drinking that water! If you can try going to a Homeopathic doctor to get through your menopause and try staying away from Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT). It's not good for you! Short-term through rough spots (if you must) is OK, but long-term is not a good idea. HRT can cause heart attacks in women, breast cancer and blood clots. I didn't take it and did fine. I was a little cranky but exercised to get rid of it and ate right.

WHAT ABOUT THE HOT FLASHES? Even men go through "Andropause" and can have hot flashes. If you are going to have caffeine, alcohol, pop, chocolate then be prepared for a possible hot flash (it won't kill you!) Try cutting down on your caffeine (but not all at once because it can cause headaches.) When sleeping have a medium sized fan just blowing over top of you (not on you) so you feel a breeze. You will sleep much better! When jogging take water with you and you can also use a plain spray bottle with water and spray your face and arms to cool you down. If you are out and have a hot flash go into a washroom and soak a paper towel under the cold water and place it behind your neck or run the undersides of your wrists under cold water. Doesn't take long to get over the hot flash.

When you smoke, your lungs constrict, reducing airflow in. Basically, smoking is terrible for you, and if you smoke, don't bother working out. If you work out, then don't smoke!

no you just get rid of all the excess food in your stomach.

to lose weight, eat right and exercise every day...

On Brainiac they did a test where a man would eat a supplement of food and we would be weighed in right before we would go to the bathroom. They weighed him when he came out and lost more than a pound of weight. So yes you do.

I think it has something to do with circulation. Heart rate is related to metabolic rate. Metabolism slows as you get older. as stated above heart rate is related to metabolic rate, you also have less muscle mass as you age and cellular respiration slows down meaning you cells need less O2 and create less CO2 meaning you don't need as much circulation

Answer2: I read several pieces of information about this since last year at age 60 doctors were very concerned about my very low heart rate facing surgery. Doctors say usually a low heart rate is called an athletic heart due to exercise. In my case after wearing a heart monitor for 24 hours, they say it is what is, just a low heart rate. But this can also be caused by a thyroid condition that I developed since the thyroid controls metabolism and metabolic processes. Also, aging causes changes in blood vessels, as you get older your heart cannot beat as fast during physical activity the same as in your youth. Scientist still don't know all the ins and outs of why. Unfortunately the heart loses elasticity as you age resulting in weaker contractions and expansions. But there is good news, I read an article that says some things you can do to compensate for the slower heart rate is exercise, especially aerobic exercise, it makes the heart stronger and faster. Good health to you!

First of all you will not die, second of all it depends on how much you cut it and what with. Butter knifes are not really known and popular for blood loss but there is much more blood in you're body to refil that spot if you've only cut you're finger.

The short answer is to quit eating sugar, or at least substantially reducing your daily sugar intake.

Age has no bearing on whether you can lose 50 pounds using this method.

Just understand that you need first, to understand what foods contain sugar, and therefore what foods to avoid, and secondly, the first four weeks is pretty tough when quitting sugar.
