Health - 8 February 2007

About three years ago, my immune system was awesome! I hardly ever got ill and cut, scratches and even fairly major wounds healed quickly. I felt generally healthy. But now at 18 my health is the worst its ever been- I seem to catch a fair few colds, i'm constantly cold (toes and finger especially), my fitness is fairly good, I run at least once a week, do jujitsu and usually fit some other exercise in, I eat relatively healthily and take vitamins occasionally (although I admit to being fairly forgetfull on this one), I'm a vegetarian and always have been (don't know if this matters) A fewe people have suggested that it's stress related. I'm a second year a level student with the ambition of studting veterinary sceince. I have a fairly big worload but not unmanagable so I don't see why it should be stressed (I study physics, chem and biol). Family life isn't great but I don't see how this would effect my health? Soooo (sorry, not so breif) How can I geat my health back? Any ideas?

I had nose surgery close to 11 months ago and it came out uneven. Its not very obvious at first but you can still tell. I have had people tell me that my left side looks wide. I denied this to myself hoping that it will go away but it hasnt. When I touch it I feel a bony protusion there. The surgeon is board certified and overall a good one. I told him about it and he says it will go away meanwhile i went to another surgeon for advice and he says it wont. He says all the swelling is down. I left my doctors office agreeing to come back in 5 mos but i know it wont go away. I feel that the doctor should take blame or be responsible and offer me methods towards this. And the funny thing is that i had to go up personally to make a follow up appointment bcause they would deny me one on the phone. Does any one know what to do? like can i sue him? or does he have to offer revision surgery for free? please any answers?? thanks

I always buy Yoplait's "Original 99% Fat Free" multi flavored yogurts such as strawberry, vanilla, peach, wild berries, etc. About 5 weeks ago I've started to eat better (no soft drinks, fast foods, no sugars, and drinking water, among other things found on "The Abs Diet" to get those hard to get six packs. I'm making progress (I'm 5'11 and now about 162-165lbs), but figure I need to lose an additional 10pounds (I due cardio everyday). I want to know if this brand of yogurt is helping or hurting my progress:
Calories: 170 Calories from Fat: 15

The thing that worries me is the carbs and the sugar. Is it a lot?

Why are there so many overweight and unhealthy people? Why can’t people just not over eat, especially with all the starvation on this planet? Why are people so easily led by these corporations loading our food with sugars and salts. Why do people just sit back and smoke their cigarettes all day long....I don’t understand how so many people are so unaware, so disconnected to anything natural. Why are we so easily led into such unnatural and unhealthy lives?

It is just so frustrating...I know that it shouldn't let it bother me, some days it doesn't, but it's everywhere, it's the people I love and strangers on the street. Does this bother anyone else?

Last night, I found that I have chipped the front corner of one of my front teeth off. I have no idea how it happened. There's now no enamal (sp?) on that bit of tooth and I am worried that it will be rotted away. Should I go to the dentist asap? What can he do to fix this problem?
I would go to see the dentist right now but I haven't got enough money to pay for any treatment. But if it is a serious problem or could lead to a serious problem, I'll have to find it from somewhere.

It took his dentist an hour to pull out his tooth and it was the most excruciating pain he had ever felt. Imagine the torture scenes from the movie Hostel. What would you do to convince somebody to to to a dentist again?

I am trying to lose weight. I have been walking on the treadmill everyday since the first week of January for 45 minutes at about 3 to 3.2 mph. I was just curious weather or not this will help me to lose weight. I did not weigh myself in the beggining so I do not know if I have yet, but I do not feel like I have. I try to watch what I eat but I have not really been doing it. I cut coke totally off my diet. Please help.

Why are they allowing 17 and under to get plastic surgery? Their bodies are still growing. They might be mature enough mentally but how is their bodies mature enough? Some want breasts...but breasts don't stop growing until you are in your 20's.

Please Help with only real answers, this is a SERIOUS matter no jokes please.
