Why did i lose my appetite so sudden?

Idk for some reason i lost my appetite drastically, i don’t feel like eating anything and no hunger.

Well I work out 4 times a week and so i need to eat, if i try eating forcibly then i feel like throwing up. Yeah this happened for me before like 4 months and it stayed for a week. lol after that week i ate like a pig though …..

Is it something like my digestive system needs some break or something …lol btw i’m 5’5” and 135 lbs , BMI = 22.5 and BMF =17.5 %. What should i do ?

toning legs with a pear shape?

I’ve lost 16 pounds in the last 6 months and now I’m at a normal weight, my BMI is 22.5. I walk 4 miles a day, I bike a little, I’ve started hiking and I climb some stairs at work. But I’m a pear shape and my legs are still big and flabby. What can I do?

I am 15 years old and my height is 5″8 inches (174 cm) and my weight is 65 Kg. My BMI is 22.5 and BMR is 1700.49 calories. My body fat percentage is 17.429. Am i fit or do i need to do something.

Whole egg .vs. Egg whites, which is better for you?

Being vegetarian when I don’t have the time to make a veggieburger or buy some tofu I’ll occasionally eat eggs. Only organic, free range, cage free, not often but maybe a few times a month?

I usually make them scrambled or take them with me hardboiled but I’m worried about the nutritional value. The yolk has cholesterol and the white does not? The whites are supposedly healthier and I’m for eating better but then the yolks would be thrown out and I don’t believe in wasting food. Or at least that a animal/plant gave me as far as vegetarian goes.

I’m sure I have bad cholesterol, and I don’t want to add to it. Is it really healthier to just eat the whites? What am I supposed to do with the yolk if I don’t eat it so not to waste it? I’m sorry, it is unclear my English I think is good but it seems to confuse people. Is this understandable question?

Is this doctor a quack or a good doctor?

My husband went to see a doctor after being seen a local ER when his blood pressure was elevated. His average blood pressure is 135/75. He is given a yearly complete physical by his job because of the type of work he does. His blood work comes back fine. The only thing that the doctor ever commented on was his weight. His cholesterol level has been in the good range below 180. This new doctor did blood, ekg, and chest xray. He said at his last office visit that his ekg was normal. The lab called back and said that his cholesterol level was 200 last week. My husband has been on a diet and exercising. This doctor now wants to do a echo stress test and a battery of other expensive tests. I found this doctor on our insurance website and didn’t check his credentials. He has a massive network of over 20 doctors. He is the main doctor in a hospital with a very bad reputation. I was concerned about the cost of all these procedures since our deductibles are high. His office found out that I was inquiring to my insurance about these costs. I called his office to speak to the accounts payable to find out what we would have to pay out of pocket. One of the technicians basically told me that it would be very expensive. I found out that maybe we would have to pay over $2000 for all the deductibles. The doctor’s secretary called me back and had me speak to the doctor. He was sugary sweet until I mentioned that we might not be able to pay the deductibles. He became sarcastic and rude. I have a feeling that he’s using this to make money off of my husband. We are on a limited budget. Just because we have group health insurance doesn’t mean it’s good insurance. After my husband has this test on Thursday I’m finding a better doctor. I live near Cleveland and should have gone to the Cleveland Clinic. It’s a stupid and expensive mistake. I don’t want my husband on the statin pills. I know he needs the BP pills until he loses the weight. Don’t doctor recommend a healthy prescription of weight loss and diet changes anymore?
Computer made a mistake. Sorry!

Is numbness in left hand a sign of mild stroke?

My 79 yrs. old Father-in-law couldn’t grip things with his left hand…and was admitted to the hospital. CT scan and ECG reports are all good…yet they want to keep him under observation for 3 more days. (He’s regularly taking medicines for high BP for the last many years + aspirin. Isn’t diabetic, cholesterol is within normal range)

Why do you think that’s required if reports haven’t spotted any clots? I’m mortally scared of hospitals as they are hot-beds of all sorts of infections.

Should we get him discharged on request? Or would it be a bad call?

Please advise! Thank you

does this sound like a bad sign?

was on steroids 2 months ago, blood pressure ranged from 130-180 over 50-80 and my cholesterol was destroyed for about 3 months straight, and now im off adn my blood pressure is 110 over 60 on average but everyonce in a while i get these feelings of a needle or something like that going through my heart every time it pumps and it lasts for 5 minutes to an hour then stops its been getting better as the time goes on but does this sound dangerous and is it reversible now that my blood pressure is safe again and my cholesterol is back to normal?

Blood test and physical results. Potential problems?

I’m a 29 year old male, I try to exercise as often as I can, and I eat a basically vegetarian/Mediterranean diet, i.e., I eat fish but I don’t eat meat/pork/chicken etc.. I consider myself pretty healthy except I like beer and wine, sometimes a little too much Nevertheless, I feel fine. So I just got these results back:
The Good:
Blood pressure is 120/80
Cholesterol is 139, total.
HDL is 70
LDL is 51
All other results of the panel are normal and within range.
The Bad:
White Blood Cell Count 3.7, low in the normal range of 4.0-10.5.
Glucose is 101, high when considered in the range of 65-99.

My doctor hasn’t contacted me with alarm at the results but it’s bothering me a bit. I want to be completely, without question, healthy! Is there anything to consider dangerous about the “bad” results? Anything I should be trying to change? Thanks for all input!

Mucus in my puppy’s poop?

I came home today and found my puppy had found her way into the garbage and the floor was a mess. She also pooped something funny, but I”m not sure about the chronological order of her eating garbage or the weird poop since I wasn’t home. Normally her poop is relatively solid, but today it had some yellow mucus in it and was mushier than usual, but not really diarrhea-like watery. I know mucus in feces could be a sign of worm infection, so should I be worried? A couple of hours later she pooped again and it looked normal. Last week or the week before last, she also vomitted yellow liquid. But it only occurred once so I didn’t bring her to the vet. Now I am starting to get concerned with the mucus in the poop. Is this normal behavior every once in awhile? Because my puppy is a very curious girl and she always scrummages around the house for anything edible.

My puppy seems to not be interested in his food today, and is eating his poop.?

I have a 5 month old male pit bull terrier puppy who is loving and very active. I feed him a natural, healthy food 3 times a day as advised. He ate his breakfast just fine this morning, but doesn’t seem to be at all interested in his lunch. He will eat a treat just fine though. I have also caught him eating his poop a few times, which is a little loose and mushy. Does anyone have any idea why he is doing this or what is going on? I would appreciate any suggestions!!

My 4 week old pit puppy is pooping some clear pink stuff?

Hi I have a 4 week old pitbull puppy. We got him a week ago. Before you ask why I have a 4 week old pup, read my last question..I saved him from a crackhead who didnt have him with his mother basically.. Anyways..HE HAS BEEN DOING GREAT AND ITS DRY ROYAL CANIN BABY DOG FOOD..ITS HARD AND i ADD A LITTLE WATER. He eats 4 times a day a few tablespoons at a time…he always chows it down. When I first got him he was having solid poops, H ehad a dewormer last monday.. now last few days he has been pooping alot and more mushy. Especially after eating. He pooped about 4 times after eating this am… then tonight he pooped about the same after eating.. then i noticed some watery poop on the pee pad and then some watery pinkish color with a tiny bit of blood. Then he squatted down and all that come out were a few drops of clear pinkish tint liquid. What is going on? If still happening I will call vet tomorrow.
I had given him formula a few times but vet said I didnt need to because he has his teeth which would make him around 6 weeks, but he looks and walks like he is only barely 4 weeks.
Oh I forgot to mention.. he came back negative for round worms but the vet gave dewormer anyway just incase.

Puppy with this many Bowel Movements????

I posted a question on here a few days ago about my 9 week old maltese/poodle having worms in her stool. I went to the vet monday and they gave me a medication that takes care of ALL the worms. I gave her one on Monday, and I’m supposed to give her the other pill 3 weeks from yesterday. Well, i expected her to have a bowel movement with worms, and just a few hours of ingesting the pill she had a BM and many little worms came out.. ewww. Well, after that I only saw one worm in the next stool. But she’s been going A LOT today, probably 5-7 times… very mushy poop but I don’t visibly see any more worms. Should she be going this many times? Is that how “worm medicine” works? I’m calling the vet tomorrow to make sure this is normal, I’m sure it’s probably ok but I was just a little concerned about how often she was going. Thanks!!

Quality dog food to help make poop solid.?

We recently changed my dog’s food from puppy chow to adult food. We’re using Dick Van Patton’s Natural Balance (duck and potato). Since the switch, her poop has been really mushy. Not solid, like it used to be. Can anyone recommend a good quality food that with help solid-up her poop?
THANKS!

I have a cholesterol of 210. My HDL is 109 and my LDL is 90. I’m a 26 year old female who is at a normal wt.?

Are my numbers good or bad? Thank you.

Lots of sweating and water retention despite being in very good shape — medical or middle age?

I’m 40. A few years ago, I got tired of being out of shape and started doing a “Rocky.” When I first started, I would sweat a good deal. I’d be really thirsty during workouts. But eventually my body regulated and I maintained my college weight of 190 with a waist of 37. I would sweat very little during workouts.

I kept it going, but was injured over the winter (shoulder), took a bunch of anti-inflammatories and such and eased the workouts. I gained weight but thought I’d be able to take it off.

Anyway, I have been doing “Rocky II” since March or so and my eating is relatively low, but the weight (210) won’t come off. It also seems to bunch around the middle of my body. I think it’s water retention, as at the gym or when running I tend to get drenched. It’s way more sweating than anyone else I see at the gym. The floor is covered with it after. But, that said, the weight’s not coming off, despite going every day and upping the cardio to a relatively hard 45 minutes.

One thing to note, I have high BP and bad cholesterol. It’s hereditary. The doctor called it Metabolic Syndrome. I’ve been taking Cozaar and Gemfibrozil for most of my 30s, and all my numbers are very good.

Anyway, am I doing something wrong?

Kidney Creatinine level at 1.4…need help understanding.?

History….I put in a question about UTI/Diabetes infection last week. Now I have the results back.

My Kidney creatine level was 1.4. Nurse said normal level is .6 to 1.1. My Blood sugar level is 6.3, which he said was good. But my bad cholesterol is also bad at 160, but my good cholesterol is good at 49 or so. Lipids normal

So, my concern is the Kidney creatinine results at 1.4. Can someone explain to me before my Dr. appt is this indicating Kidney disease, Kidney infection. Just some general information would help ease my mind. My Dr. appt is tomorrow. My mind is running wild with concerns of needing a new kidney now.. But I just don’t understand these numbers and want some friendly advice. Thanks.

What on Earth Can I do to raise my HDL Level?

Well, I just got my cholesterol checked, and my HDL levels weren’t optimal. This is disappointing since I run, on average, 35 miles a week, and eat a healthy diet (vegetarian except for fish 4 times a week).

So here are my numbers:

CHOLESTEROL159 (good)
TRIGLYCERIDE94 (good)
HDL CHOLESTEROL44 (borderline risky)
LDL CHOLESTEROL, CALCULATED 96 (good)
CHOLESTEROL/HDL RATIO3.6 (fair)

My resting HR is 54 bpm, and my blood pressure is good.

Losing weight isn’t a healthy option as I’m 6’3” and 173 lbs.

I eat all the foods that they say have the healthy fats, and avoid all the bad fats.

Anyone have any good tips on raising HDL levels? I’m kind of looking for answers outside of the norm, since I already eat fairly healthy (with the possible execption of sugar consumption), and I’m a very good and active runner.

Thanks!

Thanks!!

What does it mean if one has high cholesterol(240) but the LDL is (126),HDL is (92)and triglycerides are(106)?

The HDL of 92 is considered to be abnormally high but I have read that the higher your HDL’s are, the more you are protected against heart disease. I am very confused – a total of 240 cholesterol is supposed to be bad but if the HDL’s are higher than normal what do these numbers really mean? Would someone with these given levels need to consider medication? If so wouldn’t the medication lower the good cholesterol (HDL’s) too?

question for parents with kids between the ages of 9-12…?

I am organizing a nutritional cooking class for kids in my area between the ages of 9-12. I want to teach kids how to make creative, delicious meals out of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, lean meats, etc.

it will also teach kids about the amount of sodium, fat, and calories are in typical foods like mac and cheese. or how much sugar is in soda, and how kids can substitute bad foods with healthy foods and hae it still taste good. parents will also be allowed to participate in the program if they wish. I plan to work with an actual nutritionist as well, to make sure the kids are learning legitimate stuff. It will be taught on a level that isn’t taught in school. it will be taught by people who have a passion for health and a passion for cooking, unlike school. And the program will be free.

Would this be of interest to you if this was set up in your town?

Kinship Foster Care Questions?

I had lost my children on false accusations on my son, My daughter had no signs of abuse but CPS took her anyway. My boy was born with medical problems and cps said he was born healthy (i got medical papers states otherwise) My son had fallen ill in foster care, Impetigo at 10 months, ear aches colds. Low iron even though on iron drops. But recently the CPS people moved him out of foster care and into same home my daughter is in (grandparents home) Mind you my daughter is with the grandparents she has had a nasty yeast infection since Sept 2011. It cleared up fast Jan 17th 2012 when i made a comment to CPS if it was me i would lose my kids because its abuse and neglect. She said no i wouldn’t, But funny how this yeast infection vanishes. And Jan 17th 2012 my son was breaking out all over his face with red marks and he is 1 yr old.. Now question i need advice on.. For kinship foster they have to provide healthy meals for kids etc? But when the grandparents all they do is go out to dennys/mcdonalds/wendys (fast food) for lunch and dinner. Isn’t that not providing good care? My daughter used to get milk and juice and water when she was with me. Now she don’t get milk because grandparents and cps says she dont like milk and allergic (not founded by doctor) My daughter is given capri suns thats all my girl drinks. Also it says kinship foster care, They have to be healthy and no health problems mental as well.
The grandparents have my kids, in 2009 almost head on to me in girlfriends car if it happened they be at fault, chased me down the BLVD in gfs car at 80mph in a 40mph (was on phone with 911 and they told me where to go where police would be waiting. All because they didnt want me with her and they were taking the car home with them, (car was in her name) (have police record on this) in 2009 they kept driving past my house 20+ times. Neighbor was a witness. We called the police and they were told not to keep doing it and its harrassment and stalking. If they are found doing it will be in trouble. Now my fiance’s parents wanted us to breakup and didnt approve of me. After my girlfriend at the time lived at her parents and moved in with me. They kept her belongings (clothes/ $6000 cash she saved back/electronics/her other items) They said if she wont get nothing unless she moves home. (got proof email) When she changed her address to new address. Mail still went to her old place. They said in email if she gets anymore mail they will throw it away. got proof in email) To get her money her items she had to go to an attorney to get them back. Her parents are unstable. My kids grandma has epilepsy over 50 years of age, Grandfather has high blood pressure and medical issues 67 years old. CPS don’t care what i said they are unfit. But i have a permancy hearing March 12th 2012 and fighting for my kids. My question is when grandparents go on stand should i bring attention to the judge the proof i have? They used to call my girlfriend fat,pillsbury doughgirl,good year blimp. They used to stalk her at work and school. She has coworkers as witness. She quit that job because she couldn’t take them stalking.

Any advice. Do these people sound like fit caregivers?

What can I eat to be healthy?

I am VERY unhealthy and I have been always been eating unhealthy foods even as a little kid and I never got to try many healthy foods- Now I am 19 and there are many foods I am too scared to try like kiwis,avocado, mushrooms, peas, the list goes on.
No matter what I eat I always stay at 50kg and since I have been living with my partner I have been eating exceptionally unhealthy. For the past week though all I have been eating is chocolate biscuits, Pepsi and stuff like that and I have already gained 2 kg!
I am very concerned that I am setting myself to have many health problems and to be obese. I have a 6 month old and I give him the best I can what is homemade fruit and vegee purees. I don’t want him to grow up as unhealthy as I was and worried that when if he sees me eating so much junk food when he is older I am going to set a bad example for him.
My question is what are some easy healthy foods I can eat that are pretty easy? Eg. Healthy creeals, crackers, health food shakes, spreads? We go shopping once every two weeks so I don’t think the fruit will stay fresh for that long.

Underactive thyroid (few questions)?

I gained almost 200 pounds in a matter of 2 years – and NO, I do not over eat, and I do eat healthy foods. I had 3 kids back to back, and the problem started occuring when I had my second child, I was constantly stuck at home all day with the children, while my dear husband worked. Had a third child, same routine. Well, I’ve become more active then ever in the past 6 months, and I can’t seem to lose weight for nothing!! I mean, how do you go from doing absolutely NOTHING, to being extremely active – and not lose any weight? I still eat healthy and small portions…. WHY?…I don’t understand, or like one week I lost 9 pounds the first half of the week, and gained it all back by the end of the week without doing ANYTHING different!

Yes, Doctor did tell me I had an underactive thyroid, but never rechecked or perscribed any medication for it….

If he perscribed synthroid would it help me to lose the weight that I have gained, if so, how quickly will it work?….

What are the daily nutritional requirements for a canine?

Does anyone have a link for the required daily intake of vitamins and minerals for a dog?

Is there a nutritional difference between store brand formula and name brand formula?

As a mom, I can’t find any significant difference in the formulas nutritionally , is there something that i am missing in the name brands that makes it so much more pricey?

I am planning on breast-feeding, but I’m looking into it just in-case i have to supplement.

what is the purpose of the National School Lunch Program?

Are the guidelines set up for this program being strictly adhered to or is it individually controlled?

Are there any good websites that give guidelines about vegetarianism?

I’ve decided to do a little research because I’m thinking about becoming a vegetarian. I realize that there is a lot more to the diet then just stop eating meat, like taking certain vitamins and such. I was wondering if you guys knew any websites that would give vitamin suggestions, recipe ideas, and really any and everything there is to know about vegetarianism.
Thanks so much!

Just looking for a little info on my health. 15, female, high blood pressure and diet questions?

Im 15 and female. Im 5 foot 2 or 3 inches. I weigh 110 pounds. I was told at school the other day by my nurse, that I had high blood pressure after she took my blood pressure. I read up a little on this and found:

“Primary hypertension (also known as essential hypertension) in children is the label given to high blood pressure when there is no underlying illness or disease that can be identified as the cause. There are several potential causes for primary hypertension in both children and adults. If a child consumes a diet that is high in salt or eats too many foods high in fat, hypertension can develop. Children with abnormally high levels of triglycerides or cholesterol are at risk for hypertension in childhood or adolescence. The same is true for children and adolescents who are overweight and live too sedentary of a lifestyle. If a child has a parent with a history of high blood pressure, he or she might inherit the condition.”

This is the only answer I can find. Im not taking any birth control or medicine, so that cant be the reason my blood pressure has been high. Although Im not overweight, infact my doctor has told me not to lose anymore weight, i do eat a lot of foods that are high in fat. I eat 3-4 cookies a day or some other high in fat dessert. (arn’t all good deserts high in fat?) And I havnt had a very good diet for a year or so now. I eat one meal a day usually between 4 and 6pm. Usually its pizza, mac&cheese, veggie burger, veggie dog, or some other “fake meat” meal since I am a vegatarian. Im suppose to be taking multi-vitamins, but I never remember. and go 2-3 weeks between taking one.

I’ve also experienced shortness of breath lately. I can hardly walk a couple yards without getting really out of breath and feeling dizzy and weak. I have to go up 3 flights of stairs at school during the day. I used to have no problem with this, but now I can hardly do it. Im in shape, but just have had problems with physical exercise lately because as said, i keep experiencing shortness of breath.

— So… what should I do? And is there something wrong with me?

Pregnancy and Cravings. Are any of these foods bad? Even if I consume alot of them? Other diet questions?

I’m in my first trimester and crave food almost constantly. Are any of them bad? Even if I consume alot of them in a day? Are any of these craving indicators of the gender of my child? I’ve googled all of this but I get mixed answers. I just want your opinions, as mothers or fellow pregnant women.

Grapefruit: This is my number one craving! I crave it almost constantly! I eat at least one a day and one day I ate two and got a stomach ache and diarrhea. Are the two related? Or can that just be from pregnancy? My stools have been pretty soft ever since I’ve known I’ve been pregnant. Is that normal?

Lemons: This is my substitute for grapefruits. I crave these the second most. I squeeze the juice onto spinach leaves and after consuming that I eat the lemon. Sometimes I eat two or three a day. I know that they are bad for my teeth so i rinse with baking soda and warm water after but is it too much acid for my baby? I’ve tried to limit myself more but I crave them so so much!

Tomatoes with Salt: I crave these the third most. I love to eat tomato and avacado on toast with salt and pepper. I know avacado is good for me. Is the combination of grapefruit, lemons, and tomatoes too much for my baby? It seems like a very acidic diet. But I crave it so much!

Wheat bread: I HATE wheat bread and I always have but every diet that i read about for pregnancy tells me to switch to wheat bread. I can’t stand it though. I’ve tried everything and I gag even smelling it. How much will this hurt my diet? I just can’t do it. I’ve managed to switch to wheat tortillas which is good.

Some of my labels on my dairy products don’t indicate if they are pasteurized or unpasteurized. Does that mean they aren’t? I checked all the labels at the store and none of them indicate whether they are or not. My yogurt doesn’t and neither does my milk.

Is it bad to eat frozen foods? Like frozen burritos? I eat them sometimes and they give me gas pains. Does that hurt my baby? Or hot pockets? or any frozen dinner?

I’m on all my vitamins and stuff if that helps. Thank you for your patience and your responses! Please take the time for a worried first timer!! I will be forever indebted to you!

seeking alternative(s) to purchasing adderall, perhaps dexedrine for dibiilitating ADHD/ADD….read my situati?

i am married and have two children. i am a chef, meaning i work in an industry that rarely supplies health care. with the slump in the economy i am left with just enough money to make my mortgage and put food on the table. though i have little money, i make just enough for the state to decline me for medicaid. i was diagnosed with ADD at age 15 and began a schedule of 30 mg. a day. as soon as this started i noticed an improvement in my grades and ambition to apply myself in a more productive way. this lasted for 4 years. then i was without means to continue to see my dr.
i have read up on buying adderall without a prescription only to find that it seems to be a hoax. when i inquire further to people about this topic the only results i find are complete strangers labeling me a drug addict. that, i am not. i am a hard working husband and father of two who deals with a medical condition day in and day out. i am simply looking for some type of aid for the treatment of my condition. the stress i experience comes solely from my lack of focus. i have many pressures and things that need my attention….attention that i can not apply.

Why not Soy………………………?

In spite of glaring reports from alternative circles, soy is still considered a miracle food by many people. Even the medical community – who should be aware of the real affects of soy – still recommend this food as a great vegetarian source of protein and nutrients. This, however, is not true.
I like to call soy an “anti-food.” That may sound harsh to some of you, but what soy does to us is so dangerous, so profound it deserves to be labeled harshly. Here’s just some of the things in soy that, in my opinion (and many other’s), make it an anti-food:
Phytoestrogens: These are essentially plant hormones. I know a lot of people who buy organic milk to avoid hormones, but don’t realize that soy products are actually even more dangerous. Phytoestrogens interfere with normal hormone regulation. This can really throw our systems out of whack, causing problems like PMS (premenstrual syndrom), cystic fibrosis and even breast cancer in women. In men, these phytoestrogens can cause high estrogen and a decline in testosterone production. This leads to fat weight gain, decreased libido and all sorts of other problems (I know you guys out there don’t like the sound of that). We should also be concerned about the negative impact these plant hormones have on fertility.
Trypsin Inhibitors: Trypsin is important for protein assimilation, so these inhibitors interfere with protein absorption – ironic, considering soy is considered by many to be a valuable protein source. These trypsin inhibitors have led to stunted growth and pancreatic disorders (including cancer) in test animals.
Phytic Acid: Soy contains very high levels of phytic acid, which interferes with the use of valuable minerals like calcium, copper, iron, magnesium and zinc. The phytic acid in soy is also extremely resistant to soaking, sprouting and fermentation (which works to neutralize phytic acid in other foods like grains Cheeseslave made a great post about soaking grains).
Soy can also cause problems with the absorption of other nutrients, like vitamin B12 and vitamin D – yet another reason why high soy consumption is causing rampant nutrient deficiencies in vegetarians and vegans. Soy can also damage the thyroid, which may explain why thyroid dysfunction is so common nowadays.
Furthermore, during processing soy takes on an even uglier face and forms neurotoxins like MSG. Processed soy also contains high levels of aluminum, a highly toxic metal linked to many health problems (like Alzheimer’s).
Experts like Sally Fallon Morrell, head of the Weston A. Price Foundation, are highly concerned with the amount of soy in our children’s diets today, often beginning with soy formula at birth. I was shocked to read this statement on the Weston A Price Foundation website: ”Babies on soy formula receive the estrogenic equivalent of at least 5 birth control pills per day.”
Soy is just not meant to be eaten – at least, not the way we eat it today. Remember, traditional cultures ate only small amounts of highly fermented soy (i.e. fermented for six months). Fermented soy was often eaten with foods like fish broth, which would counteract some of the adverse effects like thyroid damage.
So, this is why I say no to soy. What has been your experience with this food?

Why is flexibility important to physical fitness?

I am a very good athlete, and recently took the Presidential Challenge. I passed Presidential (better than 85%) with ease on every single test and finally took the flexibility test. I didn’t even get the National level (better than 50%) on that. I’m clearly pretty angry because now I can’t get any kind of award. My question is, why is flexibility important? What does it have to do with my overall physical fitness, because I play sports year round and it never seems to interfere. Also, how can I become more flexible? I’m only a few centimeters off.

Is it possible to have too much HDL cholesterol?

So, I’m 17 and got my blood test just came in. The only thing that is not within range is my HDL cholesterol. I know that it is good to have high amounts of HDL, but is too much of any cholesterol a bad thing?

Why is having high cholesterol bad?

I was just at my doctor and was told I have high cholesterol after getting my blood work results back. I didn’t have much time to go into detail with my doc on the factors associating with that. The normal average healthy range is 100 and below. I’m at 130 in cholesterol level. So, why is it bad to have high cholesterol? I was told to eat more high fiber foods which will help and to make sure what I am eating does not have any cholesterol. What risk factors come with high cholesterol? Also, I only eat twice a day and so are there any supplemental vitamins to take?

Help reading Cholesterol results?

Hi, I’m writing on behalf of my mother because she’s 47 and doesn’t really know how this ‘Yahoo’ thing works.

She went to the doctor recently and was told that her cholesterol level was high.

Unfortunately, I can’t really make sense of what her results actually mean, so I’m hoping someone out here can help me out.

This is exactly what it says on the results sheet she was given:

NAME – VALUE – REFERENCE – RANGE

CHOLESTEROL, TOTAL – 213 H – 125-200 mg/dL
HDL CHOLESTEROL – 57 – >=46 mg/dL
CHOLESTEROL/HDL RATIO – 3.7 – < = 5.0
LDL, CHOL, CALCULATED – 138 H – <130 md/dL

TRIGLYCERIDES – 89 – <150 mg/dL

What exactly do these numbers mean?

What's the preferred range?

Is she in any ‘serious’ danger with these current numbers?

What’s a good way for her to get rid of the ‘bad‘ cholesterol, and increase her ‘good’ cholesterol?

Are those ‘Cholesterol Lowering Supplements’ any good?

Any and all help is appreciated.

(Yes, I posted this question before, but nobody gave me an answer).

What range is good cholesterol?

I just donated blood for the first time and my total cholesterol was 195. I am only 30. Is this good or bad??
