Caleb Does – Health, Nutirition, Wellness

Im currently enrolled at the University of Iowa, but they do not have a nutrition program. I was wondering what were the best schools for nutrition in the US?
thanks for the quick replies guys, any other schools than case western?

Alex S, The best method to find out info is to find a student. You can start looking for contact information for Iowa universities here. http://www.collegereviewed.com/Iowa-Colleges-Universities.html Students always to know what’s up better than outsiders since they spend so much time on campus.

You can pay by mail or through your bank. Details are available at Alberta Health Care site below.

Since the 1960s, many women’s health issues have changed in the U.S. What are 3 and how have the effected you directly?

Well, I haven’t been around since the 1960’s, but one thing that has changed a lot just in the time I’ve been alive is contraception. We have a lot more options now than women did even a couple decades ago, and the pill has gotten much safer. The first pills had a huge amount of hormones in them and they had a lot of bad side effects. They were also very expensive. Now they have much fewer hormones in them so the side effects are nowhere near as bad as they would have been with the old pills, and they’re very affordable–I pay $12/month for mine. Plus we have all kinds of other contraception options too–the ring, the shot, the implant, the patch, and all the barrier methods. Hormonal methods that we have today are much more effective than methods they had in the 1960’s.

There are no advantages to taking it. Your liver detoxes you, and your large intestines cleanses you. Nothing you take will make it work any better.

I’ve heard that large corporations let their workers participate in employee wellness programs, and I’d like the same kind of thing at my work. How can I convince them to do this? Are there companies that help you start an employee wellness program? What are the typical costs?

we’ve had a program like that at our work for the last 6 months, its working out pretty well as far as i can tell. i am a part of the committee that started it up since i used to be a personal trainer. id suggest gathering as much research as possible and talking to your coworkers about it so you have more people interested. the cost depends on alot of stuff, you just have to figure it out. but the thing is that it can save a company money in the long run (and your bosses will like that part!) by lowering people calling in sick, increasing productivity and increasing morale. it is an investment that pays off. good luck!

we do not need drugs with side affects so why are they considered mandatory?MDs do not learn about health and nutrition-why?What is problem with medical schools?Plenty!

MDs do learn about the value of foods, vitamins etc in relation to the diseases. How too little or too much can cause problems.
They don’t need to learn to cook in order to know vegetables are good for us and why plus how bad too much salt or sugar is for us and why.
You might be glad of a drug with a side effect one day, it could mean the difference between life and death.

hi there! i’m an education student and just wanna ask for 5 topics under health education & 5 for safety education for preschoolers & just a brief explanation for each. thanks! it would be a great help.

Stranger Safety
(don’t talk to people you don’t know, how to get away form someone who grabs you hit yell scream I don’t know you-you’re not my mother, etc., secret password if someone other than your parents need to pick you up)
Fire Safety
(Stop Drop and Roll-get outside, don’t hide under the bed)
Water Safety
(never go into a pool, pond, etc by yourself)
Healthy Food Choices
(Teach the food groups and what we should eat the most of and the least of)
Self Care
(washing hands-brushing teeth)

I was wondering if certain health conditions could cause a females HCG to be, therefore giving off a false negative pregnancy test. for example my girlfriend is showing plenty signs of pregnancy, but she taken a home test and it came up negative, i know shes Anemic and usually has problems with it, and i was wondering if there were any health conditions that cause the HCG hormone to not be as strong.

If she’s testing too early that can make the test be a "false negative"…but pregnancy symptoms are also very similar to period symptoms (especially if she’s *thinking* that she might be pregnant)…

Depending on how late she is will determine if she’s testing too early. Some women need to be closer to 2 weeks late before they will get an accurate urine test. Also if she’s not using first morning urine that can effect the accuracy of the test.

She can go to the Dr for a blood test. That will be a ton more accurate than a urine test. As for being anemic…that’s a low iron count…and while it’s a concern during pregnancy, it won’t keep a woman from getting a postive test.

The only health condition that I can think of that might cause low hCg levels is an ectopic pregnancy (where the egg attaches to the fallopian tube instead of inside the uterus). Tell your girlfriend to either take another urine test OR go see a Dr.

I have bought my kids a snakebyte fitness board and I have followed all the instructions and cannot sync the fitness board to my Wii. Can anybody please help me?

A lot of people have a tough time syncing their balance boards. Here are some syncing tips:
-be sure the batteries in your balance board are NEW.
-make sure the Wii Fit disc is in the Wii console and don’t try to sync the balance board until prompted.
-hold the balance board VERY CLOSE to the Wii console while they are trying to sync. In fact, have it almost touching the Wii, just to be sure.

From GNC, to Megaplex, to Animal there are soo many nutrition suppliers which one is the leader and most used among professional body builders?

It really doesnt matter where you get it, just what you’re getting. Most of the products are the same, just vary slightly in ingredients. Optimum Nutrition’s whey protein has always been on the top of the bodybuilding supplement list, and for obvious reasons. I ordered myself a 5lb tub of it and it was the best I ever had. They introduced it into the market first after all. For creatine, Higher Power is ranked #1. NO Shotgun still reigns supreme for Nitric Oxide. GNC, DPS Nutrition, even Sams Club carries bodybuilding products.
