I have been walking for 30-45 minutes a day for about a week now. Although I haven't noticed any physical changes, it has done wonders for the whole mental aspect of exercise. BUT I have noticed a lot of negative feedback from people on Yahoo Answers about walking as exercise. Is this really an effective exercise or am I just wasting my precious "weight-loss" time?

My ex girlfriend calls me the 2 pump chump! But seriously I am up for any suggestion at this point. It doesnt seem to matter weather or not I am getting it once a month or 3 times a day. Results just seem to be the same.

PS has been tremendously beneficial to my family and myself to assist in mental clarity and plays a role in membrane integrity of the brain. Any advantage to adding small amounts to my infant's formula? Also the DHA and ARA found in formulas now that has been shown to improve eyesight and memory in infants fed breastmilk or fortified formulas (almost every brand has a variety). Would adding small amounts of purified fish oil with EPA/DHA and no extra Vitamin A/E benefit my infant also or could there be digestive issues? Thanks for your advise!

I've heard that tuna and salmon are good for you because they contain the necessary Omega-3 fatty acids but then I see something on the Internet that salmon may not be good for you after all. So what kinds of fish ARE good for me?

41 years old, female, recently lost about 60 pounds in 5 months, (have 40 to go) Cholesterol was a little high 205 at last dr. visit a month ago but he didn't put me on anything yet as I'm losing weight and exercising every day and he expects it to come down more.(wants me to get it under 200) The pulse pounding I've had about 3 months? In the last two, a little dizziness/pounding has started to come with bending over, occasionally when sitting for awhile, can remember a church meeting recently where I scrunched up at the table and began feeling a little strange. Last week I woke up with it.(left side) This morning I leaned over to shave my legs in the shower and felt like I might faint when I stood up. I have a dr.'s appt. next week but thought I'd ask here, a little worried it's something like an abdominal aneurysm and maybe I should see dr. sooner? Always feel fine exercising, increasing heart rate while standing/walking doesn't seem to bring it on. Serious answers only please

I want to know if anyone has tested positive for hpv and if so what happens? I got tested and was fine but a few weeks later the doctor told me to come in to check again, the nurse said I tested positive for hpv and I have to go back in for treatment And I'm scarred. She said she'd paint the cervix with something and do a biopsy where she removes tissue from inside. I'm really scarred because I don't want to be in pain and I don't wan't to be affected by this forever, I try to take care of my health and then this happens, does it happen from just having unprotected sex? Because I am just with one person now. Also I smoke, mainly weed, do you think that could be making it worse? Anything to help ease my mind would be much appreciated, thanks.
