What are Natural ways to make your period stick to schedule?
First and foremost, hormones influence menstruation. If they are not in balance, the cycle will similarly be affected. If a woman's periods are very irregular, she can ask her doctor to measure the hormones in her blood to find out if her hormones are out of balance. This will give a rough indication as to whether there is a serious hormonal problem. However, since what is 'normal' varies greatly with regard to women's hormones, blood tests are not a particularly good measure of what can be considered much more subtle imbalances in a woman's cycle.
Weight also influences hormonal balance and menstruation. If a woman is underweight, her hormones will stop working properly and her periods might stop altogether. Recent research has also shown that obesity can throw hormones out of balance and make it harder for women to conceive. Stress also affects the hormones. Many women find that if they are worried about something, it can influence menstruation. In some cases, a woman's period might actually stop if she is very worried about whether she is pregnant.
Regular exercise and keeping fit and healthy can help regulate the menstrual cycle. On the other hand, exercising too much and overstressing the body can have a negative effect on the hormones to the extent that menstruation may cease.
Can you have a conclusion on survival skills?
1) Please repharse the question, maybe thats why its not getting answered ;)
2) The five survival skills are:
- Fire
- Shelter
- Signaling
- Food and water
- First Aid
Survival skills are necessary for anyone who lives in the world. There are going to be situations where everyone will need to use some of the basic survival skills at least once in their life.
Survival skills were created for wilderness excursions based on a time when people lived nomadically.
Those who camp or visit the wilderness should have a basic knowledge of survival skills in the event that an accident or emergency arises.
An accident or emergency can happen just about anywhere at any time. A natural disaster like a hurricane can bring in the need for some of the five basic survival skills. First aid, shelter, food and water are often the three basic survival skills a person will use.
Fire and signaling are very handy when the temperatures are cool at night and one is lost.
Survival skills are those created by survivalists to survive out in nature with limited supplies and little help. Military, campers, hikers, and survivalists are the types of individuals who learn and use survival skills. These individuals need these skills in the event of an accident or other emergency where help is not close by and they need to survive until rescue. Survival skills are meant to keep a person alive until help can reach them.
For survivalists, these skills are honed for fun rather than emergency or accident, but it also prepares them for when they are in a situation that requires survival skills. Anyone can learn how to use survival skills to protect their life or another's life when an emergency arises whether in nature, on the road, or elsewhere.

How many miles to run to lose 1 pound?
It all depends on genetics, diet and adaptability. First look at what genetics traits you have, like eating and gaining weight fast or eating and not gaining weight at all. Also tied to diet, what are you eating when you are eating and whether or not you are drinking a lot of water. My tip eat fruits every hour you are awake because they have water and electrolytes. Also things with very little or no fat. Eat food with high number of proteins like grilled chicken and grilled fish, also lots of fiber like nuts with no salt. No matter how old you are always drink milk, rebuild muscle and makes stronger bones. Most important is when to eat depending on when you run, eat very light 1 hour before you run and drink milk or a fruit shake 10 to 15 minutes after done running. If you have a healthy diet you will lose weight faster. It also depends on how long it takes for you to feel fatigue, your legs heart, you become heavy, sweating a lot more, your lungs feel like they have rocks in them. So find your fatigue point and run for another 3-5 minutes, stop, do not sit down, breath, you will sweat even more for about 5 minutes for your body to cool down, do not go into rooms with ac or you wont sweat off those extra 100 calories,wait for about 5 to 10 minutes and drink milk or a fruit shake. It also depend on age and gender, the older you are the hardest it is and males lose weight faster than females. Run for about 2 to 3 day straight and rest one day and repeat, after a weak run longer and further your fatigue point. Also time your running distance to see if improved and improve by running faster. I almost forgot 1 pound = 3500 calories, so in your case you would have to RUN 5 miles a day for 7 days to lose lose 1 pound. But it all goes down to genetics, diet, and adaptability. For example, I run 3 miles every morning in 20 minutes or less, eat a healthy diet, and bike 9 miles every night 20 minutes for less, I lost 20 pounds in 14 days thats 1.4 pounds a day. People think thats crazy but I have gain weight fast and lose weight fast genes, also a healthy diet, and keep on trying to improve my running and biking time. Also try swimming if you can it also helps to improve muscle development.

Why do mountaineers who are lost in blizzards dig snow-holes to keep warm?
This biggest reason mountaineers builds snow shelters is to keep warm. I know this sounds backwards, but snow actually acts as an insulator. If you can build a tight shelter, just big enough for your body, your body and breath can warm the air inside enough to help keep you warm -or warmer than you would be otherwise.
How could you use condensation as a method to get pure water on a desert island?
If you have any sort of plastic, dig a hole in the ground, with a small mound in the center. Fill the area around the mound with whatever water you have: sea water, brackish water, etc. Put an open container on top of the mound. Put the plastic over the hole, put rocks or sand around the edge to keep it in place, and put a small pebble in the center so the plastic forms a shallow funnel shape.
The heat will evaporate the water , which condenses on the plastic and runs down to the center of the funnel shape and drips into the container.
