How many glasses of water a day would a person weighing 350 pounds. need to drink?

It is recommended for EVERYONE that they drink 8 - 10 glasses (8 oz glasses) per day. If it's very hot out and the person is perspiring they need extra water. Water along with diet also helps flush out fat. Water ALWAYS flushes out toxins in the body and keeps your kidneys and other organs in good shape. It is not wise to over-do water. In your case 10 glasses per day and if it's really hot out and you are perspiring perfusely then 3 - 4 more glasses wouldn't hurt. Other than that don't over exceed water because it can flush out too many nutrients in the body. I have no idea if you are male and body-building or male/female and just over-weight. If you feel you have an over-weight problem then there is a time when you are going to have to deal with it. Have a good physical form your doctor first because there are many things that can cause a person to become over-weight by more than 80 lbs. I have been 50 lbs. over-weight in the past and swear by "Weight Watchers." Men and women go to the groups and are encouraged every step of the way. What I love about this diet (it isn't really a diet, but corrective eating habits) is you can eat almost everything, but within a range. It's not difficult to out and eat at friends homes or in a restaurant. The counselors will give you more calories to use because of your weight or possible body structure. Good luck & God Bless

How much weight would you lose by eating two small meals a day and vomiting them up if you weigh 120 pounds and you are 5 foot 2 inches and 15?

There are serious health risks concerning this method of "weight loss". Any weight a persons body would lose by doing so would be from muscle tissue and bone density. The body must havethese to function properly and for the person in question to live a long and healthy life.

While weight loss is a highly desirable feat the time spent while vomiting could be used for a walk around the block, which would be a far more healthy way to get in shape.

I'm 15 and want to lose weight badly but im not able to fit something like swimming everyday into my life or do one of those crazy diets help?

At your age, the best way to lose weight is to try to get a good 8 hours of sleep every night, (good sleep actually burns calories) stay active during the day and eat a balanced diet. Try to stay away from "empty" calories. If you belong to a health plan like Kaiser they have a list of all foods and their calorie content. Ask your pediatrician for a list. It's good to start being aware of the "quality" of calories you are eating. High school is a time when young women are exposed to more junk food and choices out of a machine. Think of your body as a car and food as the fuel you need to run it. Take in only as much fuel as your body requires. Then you won't have to stress about dieting or losing weight. You'll recognize yourself as the beautiful and intelligent young woman that you are and concentrate on things that are more important. If you get enough sleep, eat the right foods and concentrate on "feeding" your brain, you will never worry that you aren't the thinnest woman in the room. Once you do have time to work in a daily swim, you will see inches slide right off. Swimming is a great way to sculpt your body without beating it up. Crazy diets aren't for smart girls.

i have had many stuggles with weight loss and losing fat for a long time. I manage to lose up to a dress size in a week by doing just a 12 minutes routine that's just body weight… and still be able to eat my confort foods. I am also able to eat ice cream every day and drink smoothies and eat chocolate.

The main difference for me was changing into a diet that allowed me to eat the foods i loved and it worked well for me.

i belive that cutting your calories to much can be a bad thing too… and that eating the foods you love is still important not just for your body… but for your sanity too

i had stuggled big time before i figuered my body and how to do it correctly… now i don't have to starve or eat "rabbit food" all the time.

I made big changes when i realised that a calorie is not always the same and that eating is what controls when and how you lose fat.

i eat raw chocolate ever day… and ive lost heaps of weight!

even though i hated working out, i found that doing the most bang for your buck exersises like squats and pull ups made the biggest differences. I hated doing crunches and using ab gadgets for weight loss… it can be fun and simple… but may not be easy if you do not know how to do it right.

I also believe in doing interval training (short bursts of intensity) rather then doing long steady paced cardio. Lots of research show that it can make you fat. There is a way to lose fat all day long ;)

Should you exercise after multiple vaccinations in both arms?

I had a bootrix IPV vaccine which is a combination of a few vaccines in one, as I am going to Brazil in a few months. I also had a B12 infection at the same time (being a vegetarian). The doctor said there would be no problem giving the 2 of them the same day. About 2 hours after the vaccine, I went to a fairly full on dance class for an hour and was sweating a lot at the end. I had kept myself fairly hydrated through the day and have had no problems before with that class afterwards. But a few hours later after the class I started shivering and my temperature was 35.2 and I my stomach started cramping up and I wanted to throw up. Within the next half to an hour my temperature went up to 39.5 and I felt dizzy and faint and was getting all sorts of stabbing pains all through my stomach and that went round to my back and down my legs. I rang the hospital and spoke to a nurse and she said it was normal for that to happen and was probably related to the exercise. I have had vaccines before and never had a reaction anything like that, so I there is a high possibility it was the exercise a heat combined with the vaccine that did it. Anyway my temperature sat on 39 for two days and I was bed riden, miserable and my eyes and face were puffy and my tongue a little swollen. My breathing was okay though so I didn't check myself into hospital as they said that it probably wasnt necessary and to take panadol and ride it out unless my breathing became difficult. It has been 3 days since that now, and my temperature has gone back to normal, but I am still feeling weak, a little unbalanced and dizzy at times, and can't do my normal everyday activities yet, but it is improving each day.

Going by my experience I definitely wouldn't recommend exercising too heavily after a vaccination.

Why do you lose weight if you don't eat?

What are the concepts of free exercise of religion?

The original concept for "Freedom of Religion" was to prevent a prerequisite state mandate, for example, the Church of England in Great Britain, or the Russian Orthodox and Greek Orthodox churches in Europe and Asia. With this kind of law in place, one is not required to be a Catholic to live in Massachusetts, a Mormon to live in Utah, a Baptist to live in Texas, or any other denomination, or religion to live in any state of the union. For some, though, the "Freedom OF Religion" has now become the "Freedom FROM Religion" which is also acceptable as long as it does not infringe on the rights of others to practise their own beliefs.

My knee has been hurting for about 2-3 months but it hurts the most when i play sports i am 13 almost 14 years old?

It's important to take knee pain seriously, especially if it has persisted for 2-3 months and worsens during sports. This could be due to various reasons like overuse, improper technique, or even a growth-related issue. I recommend visiting a healthcare professional for an evaluation to determine the cause of your pain and to receive appropriate treatment or modifications to your activities. In the meantime, resting and avoiding activities that aggravate the pain may help.

What advice does a massage therapist give after a massage?

Drink plenty of water. Massage releases toxins from the muscles into the body's system. Without drinking water to flush out the system, the toxins can stay in your system and make you ill, even downright sick.

Depending on how bad the client is with tension or 'knots' in the muscles, the client might want to return to a massage therapist within one to two weeks. The reason for that is that after 14 days, there is more chance of the tension returning to the muscles. So within the 14 days, the therapist will be able to start where you left off rather than starting over.

Also, something that will help between massages (and especially the night after massages) is an Epsom Salt soak. What you will do is fill your bathtub with water as warm as you like it (obviously don't burn yourself). Dissolve three hand fulls of Epsom Salt into the water and soak for about 30 minutes.

This will help to break up connective tissues in the muscles that will promote relaxation as well as dissolving the lactic acid that has become built up in the muscles (that causes cramps, discomfort, soreness, etc.). Also, the warm water will help to open the pores in the skin and the water, with the aide of the Epsom Salt, will help to draw out toxins from your skin.


Dispelling the Toxin Myth:

The concept of toxin released is, IMHO, overused and misused in massage therapy. Massage does NOT release toxins. The toxins that they are talking about are the normal metabolic toxins your body produces by natural metabolism. Yes, it does help them move around in the circulatory system, but the drinking of water DOES NOT release them either. The toxins can only be processed by the natural mechanisms of the liver and kidneys. Water will help them function properly, but the image of water washing or flushing away the toxins is inaccurate according to the principles of anatomy and physiology, and biology, as we know it today. So, yes, water helps, but water is always good to have in our systems because that's what makes them work properly at their own metabolic speed. In other words massage and water DO NOT speed up the process, it only helps it do it better.

Plus, the newest research has shown that it is not the toxin release that relieves pain. It is the activation of local tissue hormones called prostaglandins that are released by massage that reduce inflammation. Reducing inflammation is what causes the relief of pain. We all know how taking NSAID's can relieve pain by reducing inflammation, well massage can do the same thing, in many instances, by reducing inflammation in body tissues to relieve pain. Once again, it is not the toxin release, there is no such thing, they don't get released, they get moved around, and the main reason massage reduces pain is because is reduces inflammation.

Will every massage therapist listen to me and take my advice as follows: Tell your clients that drinking water is good for them, not just after a massage or before going to bed. It is good for the body all the time. AND STOP THERE. Just drop the "drink water because it helps flush out the toxins." That is the WRONG image to leave them with because it does not do that. If it really did that it would mess up their electrolyte level and that can be dangerous. For the last time, there is no mechanism in the body that "flushes out toxins" not massage and not drinking water. That is the wrong image of how things work.

My mentor, Bill Mueller, would encourage therapists to keep it simple and say, "Have some water, it's good for you, and make sure you always drink plenty of it everyday, if you get a massage, or not."
