One of my friend's mothers told me that things like cabbage make you feel fuller and there are some fruits that actually speed up the metabolism so I would loose weight faster.

I am already eating healthy and excercising so thanks if you were going to give me that tip.

I work in a room where shelves are able to move using electricity, but because of this I get "shocked" more than 20 times a day. Sometimes the shocks are so strong they leave a mark on my hand. Is there any harm in such a large number of shocks?

I'm always tired and on the weekends I can sleep anywhere from 10 - 17 hours. (Yes, I've done it). It's usually around 12 - 13 hours. What causes someone to sleep that long?

Im a teenager, and i think i suffer from shyness, and want to know how to get rid of it and any tips u hav. Its not that bad; but it does affect me in some ways. I want to be more confident, so that i can start conversation with anyone, that i dont really know to get to know them better. However, normally i am too shy, and not confident enough to do it! I wish i was more confident to be able to talk to anyone, but i think i worry to much how ill sound etc. how can u talk ur mind more easily? and how can u start a conversation better? My life is pretty cool at the moment, however, i feel i just need to be more assertive and confident, and push myself more, so that i dont feel im losing out to others. Sometimes i feel confident, but other times im not so much, i.e.phoning up someone i dont know? How can u just not care how you'll look? Im sure you all have some tips, and i really wANT to improve, so say whatever. Thank u very much for all ur views!I think a few changes may work a miracle

I've tried quitting several times. I was most successful with the patch. The gum worked but made me sick. I plan to use the patch again but what else can I try.

I've had a chronic Urinary Tract Infection since August (triggered by a sinus infection). Now I am getting another sinus infection while STILL having the UTI. Is there any way these could be related?

I broke my ankle in October, had a cast on for 4 weeks, wore a brace for 5 weeks, and my ankle is still swollen more than a month from no longer needing the brace. This is the first time I ever broke my ankle.

The doctor's office charged my insurance over $950.00 for a general, routine physcial for my son, who is only 20. This doctor is not a specialist and some of the charges were ficticious. My daughter saw a nurse practitioner there and they charged $298 by double-coding ($163 for office visit/ $135 for extra time) She was only there about 20 minutes (never saw a doctor).

The insurance company has flagged him for future reference on possible ficticious charges. I do not have to pay what charges my insurance didn't cover. My question is, if I write him a letter to tell him what I think of his ridiculous charges and that's why my family will not go to his office again, do you think he will care? Is it a waste of my time to write him a letter?

I love to exercise, but I also love food. I have stopped drinking soda and have started eating healthy snacks instead of junk. So my question is, if I exercise doing cardio and weights will I still be able to lose weight? I am 5'6'' and weight 155lbs.

with one of my mates I didn't do any warm ups as we both decided to do it on the spare of the moment. I was wearing trainers and was fine whilst walking for that period of time as I go to the gym often but must admit warm up properly.

Since yesterday morning I have very sore calves, ankles and thighs and feel very weak and tired with flu like symptoms. I have used deep heat to ease the pain but it doesn't really help. I have booked a doctors appointment for friday.

Apart from resting what can I do to help ease the pain and weakness and how long will it take for pain to heal?
