I took the philadelphia police test, and wanted to know do you take the physical fitness test before the academy or during the philadelphia police academy? Also what would they do if you are underweight?

Major departments all require some type of fitness test before they make a hiring decision. Then during the academy they continue the PT.

Underweight shouldn’t matter so long as you meet the minimum fitness standards.

What do you eat after weight loss surgery?

Posted on July 29th, 2010 by admin in weight loss | 2 Comments »

I’m considering weight loss surgery. What does one eat after a surgery? Could I just follow the same diet (without the surgery) and get the same results?

If you are considering the surgery, why are you asking if you can get the same results following the same diet? Surgery is the last option for those who are seriously overweight, and ALL other methods have failed. It sounds like you want to try and change your diet, which is good. If you have not tried diet and exercise, then you should. This surgery is dangerous, and full of risks.
Spend the time exercising and eating healthy food. It took a long time for you to put on the weight, so it is going to take a long time to take it off. Just be patient and you will be rewarded for your efforts.
They give you very strict instructions about what you can, and cannot eat after surgery. For instance, you cannot drink and eat at the same time. You cannot eat anything that contains huge amounts of sugar, or fat. At first you are limited to a liquid diet, then you are allowed things like jello, or other soft foods.
You must also consider the consequences of having this type of surgery done, not just short term, but think long term, in the future. The majority of people who have this surgery do have some sort of complications, and they do gain a lot of the weight back. If you have not addressed the emotional aspect of why you overeat, this is probably not the best option for you.
Weigh your options carefully, and make a VERY educated decision. Speak with many people who have had this done. Ask them all kinds of ?’s. I know many people who have had this done, and sure it gives you the results you want very quickly, but for what they have gone through, it isn’t close to being worth it. Good luck.

What is a medicine that kids can take that relives stomach pain?

Posted on July 29th, 2010 by admin in medicine | 2 Comments »

I need a kind of medicine that’s not liquid or a pill that kids can take and it relives stomach pain. It need to be able to fit in my small purse.

Pepto Bismol makes chewable tablets that kids can take to relieve a variety of stomach problems, I’m sure you’ve heard the commercial jingle (nausea, heartburn, indigestion, upset stomach, diarrhea… hey, Pepto Bismol). Rolaids and Tums also make chewable antacid tablets, that have a different active ingredient and only treat indigestion/acid reflux.

Is there an easy way to figure out nutrition in homemade recipes?

Posted on July 29th, 2010 by admin in nutrition | 1 Comment »

I am type one diabetic and pregnant. It is vital that I know exactly how many carbs I consume. I have been trying a lot of homemade recipes but have a hard time figuring out nutrition info because some are in ounces others in cups and then I combine them all. Is there a website to enter all the info in that will calculate it up for me?

First of all, I wish you and your baby the very best. Your concern for your diet is commendable, especially since you are now eating for two.

Monitoring carbohydrate consumption is so important for a diabetic, but it is sometimes hard to find the nutritional composition of certain foods. I found a carbohydrate calculator for you, which also includes the entire gamut of nutrients to be found in over 7000 foods. This is important, since there are many other important nutrients to monitor when you are pregnant.

The best thing is that the software is free, and you can download it from the website below.

God bless you and your child, young lady. Hope this helps.

What are some antifungal herbs I can take to clear up my skin infection?

Posted on July 29th, 2010 by admin in herbs | 3 Comments »

I have tinea versicolor. I’ve tried several different things, but they haven’t worked for me. I can’t see a doctor right now, and I’ve heard of herbs that often do the trick, but I need a little guidance. Any help would be appreciated.

By the way, I understand that natural does not always equal safe, so I will be sure to do plenty of research before purchasing and trying any herbs or supplements. Thanks!

I agree with jaye… coconut oil soap , sulfur soap and tea tree oil are great, i get my Kirk’s coconut oil soap from iherb.com. you can go to retailmenot and get a 5 off 5 coupon so just in case you don’t like the soap the only thing u lose is paying for shipping.

I also use the pure oil on my skin. be careful with the sulfur though, a lot of people are allergic to it

have you tried brags apple cider vinegar or oil of oregano?

also have you tried eating a table spoon of sauerkraut a day? read up on that.
