After I run/ swim/ workout I usually drink some juice or gatorade within the first hour, then eat some leftovers within the first two hours. The leftovers are nothing in particualr, usually rice with some vegetables. Any suggestions on how I can improve my post workout diet? I'd prefer to stay away from dietary supplements or shakes.

I work full time in a very fast pace, stress filled store... So i rely alot on caffiene to help me stay up and energetic, but for my health i really want to quit drinking so much caffienated pop. If i dont have any caffiene within the first couple hours of the morning my head hurts, and i feel so weak and tired, I cant stand diet pop, and i dont care for coffee. Does anyone know any alternatives to get some caffiene in my system without drinking a 6pack of pop a day?!? please help

I've been on Zoloft for a little over 2 years now and I know that I have to slowly get off the meds- but I'm unsure of how long this should take. I am on 200mg a day and don't know if I go down by 50mg a week or how I do it. Anyone who has experienced this please let me know what you did. Thanks so much!

Are they made of Heroin or something??? I don't own one but I thought they were just a combination of a palm pilot and a cell.

i get 8 - 8.5 hours/day of sleep yet the whole day I feel like I havent sleeped at all. Im 20 and healthy. I have gone to the doctors about this, but all she tells me everytime is its normal but you can try a depressant if you want since it might be that you have depression. Althought all i feel is tired and never feel like doing anything for the past 4 years, i know i am not depressed. I have tried different ones yet none of them help. Any suggestions? I am tired of getting up in the morning to go to work with no enthusiasm. ANd the day feels long since i feel so tired. Even if I sleep more than 8 hours i still feel tired.

I have hip pain in that feels like it's in the joint, while doing Pilated/Yoga, especially the excercises where the legs are spread (proud warrior etc) It feels as if the joint is burning and I am unable to keep the leg up. Also after I jog my left hip is sore and tight. I walk around afterwords limping. i feel so old! I am in average shape, not overweight. I had the hip x rayed and it came back normal. The dr. told me to take tylenol and basically deal with it. Any suggestions or help would be appreciated!!

I have been filling really badly lately. But only for small amounts of time. Like last night I was not filling well I was having blurred vision and a terrible head ach I felt like I was going to pass out and strangely enough I smelled something very strange on my breath it smelled real fruity or like fingernail paint but maybe not quite as strong I felt very sick to my stomach so I wanted to get something to settle it but I felt to weak to get out of bed so I rummaged through the bed side table to see if I had anything to munch on to settle my stomach all I had was a candy bar so I ate a little bit but still felt bad but my stomach had settled down a bit and I fell asleep what is wrong with me this is the second time this has happened in the last week!

I have a permanent retainer on my bottom teeth, that I got right after my braces came off (in March, 2006) I looked in the mirror today and noticed one tooth is a bit crooked than before... I'm worried. Does this permanent retainer actually work? I'm paranoid about it now lol... I will call my orthodontist to get it checked out, but I just wanted to hear some opinions from any of you guys who may have experienced this.
