I drink propel fitness water when I work out and other then that I only drink straight water the rest of the time. I occasionally have a mountain dew or alcoholic beverages. But in terms of all the flavored water drinks out there(lifewater, vitamin water, etc) and the green teas(too many brands to list), which one of them are healthy to drink? Or should I just stick with plain water.

tea- green tea.
firness water- regular water, or propel is the best, & powerade option. zero calories in that!

hope this helps! =] ♥

I am looking for a non-prescription weight-loss pill that will help me to lose weight. I am tired of all the hype by the companies, I want to hear from a real person that has had success with this particular product.

Try a cleansing diet! I did and lost 11 pounds and 21 inches in only 9 days. I was very happy with the results and continued on the program and lost 29 pounds in 5 weeks. This is the fastest I have ever lost with other diets like Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers, Medifast, Slimfast etc…. Cleansing works by removing impurities from your body. You get impurities from your food (pesticides, preservatives, food additives, colorings) water, chemicals, pollution, medications, alcohol, hormones that the animals you eat were fed etc….YUCK! The impurites get coated with fat and remain in your body. To remove the fat, you have to remove the impurites. This system worked for me, maybe it can work for you too. You can check out the website or call this toll free number 1-877-587-4647 for more info. The program is not cheap, but it is worth every penny since it works and keeps you motivated. Good luck!

I have Social anxiety. My doctor prescribed Zoloft which is a depression medicine. I am just curious, how does the same medicine also treats social anxiety???

They go hand in hand. You get anxious about something and after some time it becomes depressed over that same thing. In both cases, when the nerve ends send messages to the next nerve thru a gap, these messages don’t get there, they sort of bounce back to their origin. This is what’s called a chemical imbalance in the brain. These messages are sent via chemicals ‘jumping’ from one nerve end to the other. If they don’t get ‘absorbed’ by the second nerve, we become depressed and probably more anxious about more things in life.

There’s a follow-up question after this: What is the comparison and contrast between the structures, nutrition and reproduction of the 5 kingdoms ( Monera, Protoctista, Fungi, Animalia, Plantae)?

Please reply A.S.A.P. Thanks for helping.

The five-kingdom classification of organisms
Nomenclature: Naming of organisms
Binomial: Biological name of an organism → Genus species
Taxon: Set of organisms within a category / Taxonomy / Study of biological classification
Different levels of taxons: SPECIES, GENUS, FAMILY, ORDER, CLASS, PHYLUM, KINGDOM
Most number of species on right
Most similar organisms on left
Unicellular: Single cell; Colonial: Groups of cells; Multicellular: Many cells
Autotrophs produce energy from inorganic sources
Phototrophs from photosynthesis/sunlight
Chemotrophs from simple inorganic (oxidative) processes
Heterotrophs digest and absorb organic molecules

Prokaryotae (prokaryotes)
Cell structure:
Prokaryotes, unicellular
Prokaryotes lack cytoplasmic organelles found in eukaryotes
Cell wall: murein
Nutrition: autotrophic (photosynthesis, chemosynthesis), aerobic heterotrophs
Divide by binary fission, not by mitosis
≈10μm in size (bacterial cell, filaments of blue-green bacteria)
Mutualistic nitrogen-fixing bacteria live in nodules on the root of legumes / symbiotic

Protoctista (protoctists)
Cell structure: eukaryotes, unicellular and multicellular
Cell wall: (sometimes) polysaccharide
Nutrition: autotrophic, heterotrophic
Placed in this category by exclusion / cannot be placed in any other kingdom
Slime moulds / fungi characteristics
Protozoa / heterotrophic and ingest food
Algae / photosynthesis
≈10μm (amoeba) – 1m (Laminaria / large brown alga)

Fungi
Cell structure: eukaryotes, multicellular and unicellular (yeast)
Cell wall: chitin
Nutrition: heterotrophic / saprotrophic decomposers or parasitic
Genus Penicillium
Body of a fungus is composed of thin filaments called hyphae / form a mycelium
Secret enzymes / external digestion / absorbs resulting nutrients
Erect hyphae that grow upwards from the mycelium carry their reproductive spores
Chains of spores on the erect hyphae / coloured mould visible on stored food
Break down organic matter

Plantae (plants)
Cell structure: only multicellular, eukaryotic; large vacuoles
Cell wall: cellulose
Nutrition: autotrophic (photosynthetic)
Growth is restricted to meristems (layers/patches of dividing cells)
Non-motile; adapted to land / strong tissues, leave gas exchange system, waterproofed
Eg mosses, ferns, conifers, angiosperms (flowering plants)

Plant kingdom has two different types of adults in their life cycle
Gametophytes, hidden in plant / sexual reproduction forms multicellular zygotes
Sporophytes, what we call plant / asexual reproduction to form spores that germinate into gametophytes
Gametophyte (n) → gamete (n) → fertilisation → zygote (2n) → mitosis → sporophyte (2n) → meiosis → spore (n) → mitosis → gametophyte (n)

Animalia (humans, animals)
Cell structure: eukaryotic, multicellular, no cell wall
Develop form a blastocyst / embryo
Have nervous and hormonal control systems
No cell wall!
Nutrition: heterotrophic, involving a digestive system
Are motile and grow throughout tissues (no mersitems)

I am growing mint and basil on my window sill and they have grown white flowers at the tips. Is this a problem? Will it effect the quality of the herbs? Should I cut them off or can I just continue harvesting the herbs as usual.

You can cut off the flowers soon after they open so they don’t get a chance to go to seed, unless you want the seed. The flavor of herbs deteriorates when it flowers & goes to seed. Leaves & stems become fibrous

For Basil: "It is best to keep basil from flowering because, as an annual, once the plant flowers and sets seed it will go into decline."

http://www.ames.com/faqherbs.html

Trim off the growing tip(s) of the branches when the plants are quite small. Repeat this several times until the plants are as bushy as desired. When the plants become quite dense, some gardeners simply trim or shear them regularly and use the shearings in cooking. Other gardeners will cut off a larger proportion of the plant for harvest, especially if they plan to dry or freeze a quantity of basil all at one time. Drastic harvests can be done just a few times a season because it’s stressful on the plants and eventually the plants just ‘wear out’. In either case, the trimming prevents the plant from flowering and it regrows in order to try to flower. If your plants are already quite tall, cut them back by about a third., which will give you a nice harvest and allow you to begin pinching as it grows back. Make sure the plant receives adequate water and nutrients to regenerate itself. Pinch tall middle stems to promote bushy, compact growth. Avoid lush growth as it may reduce the flavor…It is best to cut leaves for drying just before flowers open.

For Mint: "The more frequently the sprigs are cut, the better the growth. Use leaves at any time. Leaves to be dried are best taken just as flowers begin to appear".

Good luck! Hope this helps.

Each living generation seems becoming weaker to cope with changing natural conditions, like, the wind, the rain, the sun. Global warming is nothing different from the global floods, the global winter, the global draught, famine, why then are people bothered of global warming. Contented life-style should make all forces of nature normal for living.

global warming, plus the increasing population, are straining the resources of this planet to sustain us all.

something like 15% of all people, who have ever lived, are alive today.
and eating.
and drinking water.
and building houses.

in fact, in actual numbers, there may be more people alive today that are able to take care of themselves than ever before.
it’s just that there are many times more individuals that depend on society.

it matters not that it has been warmer, and colder in the past.
never in human history have we faced the conditions that we face today, or are likely to face tomorrow.

I am too lazy to change my diet, so I’d like to know if there are any specific antifungals/probiotic supplements that work pretty well to destroy an intestinal yeast infection…?

If you managed to cure a Candida/yeast infection, what products or drugs did you take? How well did they work?

I REALLY need help on this as I am faced with a serious health problem that may or may not be Candida overgrowth, but without medical insurance, I can’t get extensive testing done to figure out what condition I really have. However from my own research, it seems likely that Candida is a major component of my longterm illness, if not the whole thing.

Can you treat Candida effectively with supplements/drugs, without making significant dietary changes?

I’m getting all sorts of symptoms now that keep increasing, something like IBS (I feel things moving in my digestive system, and constipation is severe) and blurry vision/eye pain/bloodshot eyes, water retention, fatigue.. I need some help!

Yeast is controlled in the long run by correcting diet and lifesyle habits. If you don’t want to take charge of your diet and change it to eliminate the fungus permanently you will continue to have issues.

Parasites feed on fungus and fungus feeds on sugars.
Parasites can cause all of the symptoms you are talking about. www.curezone.com has homeopathic remedies you can use to cleanse both fungus and parasites from the body.

Changing your diet will eliminate the IBS stuff. To permanently and effectively eliminate fungus and parasites you have to change your diet.

I teach clients everyday how to get well without prescriptions, by changing thier lifestyles, habits and diets.

I’ve heard that most vitamins pass right through the body, without being absorbed. If I’m going to take vitamins, I want them to be effective by being absorbed as close to 100% as possible. Are there any studies that show which brand of vitamins the body absorbs most efficiently?
I don’t think I worded my question precisely. I didn’t mean vitamins from foods, I meant vitamin supplements. Sorry about that…

You heard wrong.

First, fruits and vegetables are your best sources of vitamins.

Vitamins are either water soluble (Vitamin C) or fat soluble (Vitamin E).

Water soluble vitamins are peed out, once the body gets what it needs.

Fat soluble vitamins are stored in the body.

I’ve decided to get back into healthy eating since having a long break and indulging for a while! The curves are great but I’m missing the muscle! Could do with some new ideas for healthy meals and snacks that I can make from scratch. Cheers!

When I first got into eating healthy, the George Foreman grill became my best friend. You can grill up chicken in a few minutes for awesome grilled chicken salads.

This is my new favorite recipe. There’s only 150 calories and 3 fat grams per serving.

Spinach-Cheese Bake

1 tbs butter
Cooking spray
2 (6-ounce) packages fresh baby spinach
1 1/4 cups (5 ounces) shredded reduced-fat sharp cheddar cheese
3/4 cup (3 ounces) shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour (about 5 3/4 ounces)
1 1/2 cups fat-free milk
1 cup egg substitute
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper

Preheat oven to 350°.
Pour the butter into the bottom of a 13 x 9-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray; tilt dish to coat. Place spinach evenly in bottom of dish; sprinkle evenly with cheeses.

Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flour and remaining ingredients in a medium bowl; stir with a whisk until blended. Pour milk mixture over cheese. Bake at 350° for 40 minutes or until lightly browned. Serve immediately.

According to yahoo news the healthcare industry is the only sector in the economy which is seeing sustained job growth and increased wages. This can’t possibly last forever. Will the health care industry get Walmartized meaning they’ll eventually have a glut of people and start paying everyone $8.00 an hour like all the other industries are trying to do?

They already are.

The whole point of all the different job titles is to let the higher paid people spend less time with each patient – so nurses, paid less than doctors, can now do what only doctors were once allowed to do; nurses aides, paid less than nurses, now do what nurses used to do; etc.

And in other areas of health care, such as nursing homes, the number of care-givers per resident has been declining steadily.

The situation will only get worse as more of the baby-boomers retire.

And, even if that were not true, healthcare doesn’t really produce anything; at best it prevents lost production. That means that the productive sector of the economy has to produce enough to pay for health care. Which means, as you’ve pointed out, that sustained job growth and the rising percentage of GDP devoted to health care can not continue.
