How important is physical fitness to a good sex life?

September 25, 2010 - 9:00 am 4 Comments

I think it’s very important because of flexibility and stamina. It’s one of the many benefits to fitness.

Well it is incredibly important, I mean if you are out of breath 5 minutes in….not so good. Plus for over weight men the shaft of the penis can be covered up by excess belly fat. A man gains 1/2 inch in "size" for every 35 lbs he loses!
Another plus to being fit is that stronger core muscles equal bigger orgasms for both men and women. An orgasm is just a muscle spasm, stronger muscles mean bigger spasms! ;)

Diet is very important is well. A major cause of low libido is a zinc deficiency!

How do you Calculate the nutrition label for a family recipe?

I am starting to sell homemade toffee that I make myself and I want it to be more professional so I want to create a nutrition label. Can anyone give me website where I can put in the ingredients and it creates the label? Also any tips for making my packaging more attractive would be appreciated.

Go to nutritiondata.com and click on Analyze Recipe. I have used it for school many times!

What are some questions you would ask your family members to answer for a health and wellness survey?

September 25, 2010 - 9:00 am 3 Comments

that reflects their health and your risks?
like…have you ever been seriously injured, do you have diabetes, do you exercise….etc.
yeah, but i need about 20 questions. not 3.

You’ve got 3 good questions. Family history of certain diseases is an important thing to find out-heart conditions would be one area.

Depression and similar disorders (like anxiety) are also considerations when it comes to wellness and health.

Maybe with something like exercise, it would be good to find out about how often they exercise and for how long.

Weight is another risk factor. So is taking certain medications.

You might also consider checking on whether the person surveyed has regular fitness/health checks (eg, mammograms, blood tests, blood pressure, etc)

Hope these are a help. Have fun. It sounds like a good project. Smiles!

what is a good book with natural remedies for womens health?

i want to detox, cleanse, and get my uterus in shape. i dont have a period right now and im looking for natural fixes. what are some great books,websites, or google search keywords?

The best way to detox and cleanse your system is with natural foods. Try a raw food diet for a week or two- (fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, fresh juices, filtered water) your body will cleanse itself and balance your hormones naturally. (My husband advises this diet for women trying to conceive- and it works the vast majority of the time.)

The two books I would highly recommend are:
Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom by Christiane Northrup
Prescription for Nutritional Healing by Balch & Balch

Health, Nutrition and Safety on Children?

September 25, 2010 - 9:00 am 1 Comment

I’m supposed to write a research paper on Health,Nutrition and Safety of Children for my ECE class. I’m just not sure what to research about. Can you give me any ideas what issues today that’s related to these 3 topics?

How about looking at snack foods that provide good nutritional value for children. You could include a part about commonly provided snack foods by parents that could endanger a child. A young child’s airway is smaller in diameter making certain foods dangerous–such as peanuts, chips, marshmallows, and hot dogs.

does your company offer incintives for participating in a wellness program?

September 25, 2010 - 9:00 am 3 Comments

apparently my husband’s offers discounts on insurance if you participate in this program doing either physical exams, health risks assessments, blood screenings, educational sessions, special campaigns (such as cancer walks) and they are mandatory if you sign up…or you can join a gym and visit it 86 times in a year and must submit attendance logs. and apparently if he signs up then its mandatory that i participate.

do you participate in these?

Yes.

At one previous employer, I saved $200 on your insurance premium for the year by participating in a health screening.

Most of my recent employers have offered some sort of incentive, and I always participate. In addition to the cost savings, I generally like to try to be healthy anyhow. :)

These programs are becoming more common in an attempt for the employer to save on health insurance costs overall. (healthy staff = lower premiums. And, of course more productive employees.)

Will a course in Health & Nutrition allow me to become a qualified dietician?

September 25, 2010 - 9:00 am 1 Comment

The course is a degree.

I think you’ll have to do another course after it to become a proper dietitian, possibly a degree. I’m not sure exactly, but I’ve got nutrition and weight management qualifications as part of my personal trainer qualification but it doesn’t make me qualified dietitian.

What can a mother do if the father is neglecting their daughter education and health.?

September 25, 2010 - 9:00 am 4 Comments

4 years ago the father win a court order, over the mother because he had a lawyer and the mother didn’t (the lawyer knew the judge). When the mother seem neglect and now the child is complain about the lack of attention she need in her education and health, ask the mother for help. The father is in denial. Father reflect to communicate with the mother in any special activity, choice of health and education. Which the mother tried to communicate it to the father. What can the mother do. Her daughter is depending on her for help.

The childs education is there for her within her school. Her father and mother should be a support system for that but in no way needs to do the work for her. If she is having problems in school then the Guidance Counselor needs to work with you to help resolve it.

As far as health, you really need to be more specific.

Nothing can be resolved on here. It is an Answer Community, not a Lawyer.

Does the bad health conditions in Russia hurt their goal of democracy?

September 21, 2010 - 12:26 pm 7 Comments

I am doing an essay about issues impeeding Russian democracy and a lot of the choices are already chosen so I am left with a bottom of the barrel topic. I have read numerous articles about infant mortality, early mortality for men, and other issues with healthcare that hurt Russian power abroad as well as domestically. Could you say the lackluster healthcare and poor health of the Russian people is hurting Russia’s goal of achieving democracy?
The topic of our essay is: "things hindering Russian’s democratic progress." Most the people have topics like KGB, Stalinist legacy, and popular topics like that and I am stuck trying to find a topic to write on.

Wow! An intelligent question. I’m no Russian expert, but I’d agree w/ that. Especially, infant mortality. No one wants to watch their children die when something can be done about it.

It all ties back into the financial collapse though. Money needs to flow to provide research funding, education, and improvements. Sure, a communist government can force money in that direction. However, we do that in America too. Any government can choose to fund programs in what ever areas they feel best fit the needs.

Now, the emotional aspect is important too. Many Russians grew up under the Iron Curtain. They hear stories from their grandparents who probably look back favorably compared to today. So the younger generations will adopt the same beliefs.

I doubt health care is the major driving force, but it certainly isn’t helping the capitalist cause.

Good question. I look forward to seeing other posts.

What’s a fitness plan that I can follow to lose excess fat mostly in the lower body parts?

September 21, 2010 - 12:26 pm 1 Comment

I know spot reduction is impossible and losing fat occurs to the whole body so I need suggestions of a fitness plan that I can follow to lose excess fat especially in the lower body part (bum, upper thigns) I’m slim in the upper body parts but it’s just my large bum that I’m unconfident about. I’m a high school student and I’m not very active, I’m the paperwork type of person.

treadmill 5x a week 30 mins a day guaranteed to lose weight if you eat right also that means avoiding junk food and soda.
