Health - 27 February 2007

I'm always running and I'm an on again, off again smoker. I quit smoking for about six months but I've recently binged on the Newports again. Since I quit I've been able to run without fatigue better (duh!). But I was wondering if there is an exact scientific statistic on how long it takes for your lungs to recover, or if it varies by person. I'm pretty active, I run five days a week for four or five miles a shot. Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You.

I have been making sure that he has been getting plenty of vegetables lately (mainly jellybeans and candycorn...they are the only ones he seems to like) but they really haven't been helping and he exercises regularly with this new device I bought him called the Nintendo Wii (he tells me he has been playing tennis and other sports on it so it sounds like he has been getting a good workout). Should I just give up on his health and get used to the fact that he will be fat for the rest of his life or is there something more that I can do?

I am trying to gain at least 10 pounds for basketball. But the thing is I need to watch out what I eat. Alot of fruit, food that are really oily, and ice cream gives me diarreah or however u spell it. Plus, should I stop working out? I maintain eating healthy, but I'm not gaining weight!

His podiatrist says that a staph germ just randomly infected his toe, and that an antibiotic and soaking it with epsom salts twice a day will take care of it in a few weeks.

I'm concerned, because circulation problems due to his recently-diagnosed diabetes probably has a lot more to do with it, but I don't know enough to explain this well or properly. Help!

I quit drinking soda and cut down all the juice. (I used to drink A LOT of soda and then i stopped and drank A LOT of juice which has lots of sugar etc) I mainly drink diet lipton green tea (0 cal) and water now. I also watch what I eat. And i walk my dog everyday after school. But do you think that drinking the diet green tea and water is an effective way of trimming down? Or will it not do anything for me?

Hi, i am 78 lbs and i'm an 11 year old girl. I am about 4' 11'' or maybe 5' 00''. My size,somewhere between an 8 and a 12.I'm not overweight but i think i eat unhealthily.on sunday for dinner we were watching the oscars and i had chicken, salad, 4 cookies and 2 very small slices of cake. i dont normally eat like this but when i'm excited i eat a lot. Today 4 breakfast- cereal, lunch- toquitos, a plum, dinner- salad, rice and a bit a steak. i also just had "peeps." If i am overweight, how much so? Also, what are good ways to exersise? in school we have 15 minutes to exercise and 3 times a week we have PE. After school i play soccer against the wall for about 20-30 minutes. (not everyday, it depends how much homework i have so it varies but normally everyday when i get home, but recently its dropped down a bit so now its about 5 times a week) Please dont tell me i'm too young to be thinking about this i know but i'll stop thinking about it if someone tells me! Thank you so much

When I push my theeth hard it looks like it moves slightly but the movement is barely noticable and I can only see it when I am very close to the mirror. I'm not even positive if it moves at all, but I do think it kinda moves. I'm freaking out because I don't know if this is normal or not. I was at the dentist recently and he said I have inflamed gums but that I could easily make them healthier. He also took x-rays so he would've told me if I was in danger of losing any teeth right. I've become real obsessed with this lately. If I continue to take care of my teeth will I be able to keep all of them? I'm only a teenager.

i know pms is completly normal before your period. but ever since i've had my period i get these emotional outbursts that surpass the usual pissy moods and insane hunger cravings. i cry constantly i feel anxious and i eat like there's no tomorrow. i cannot control my emotions and i thought it was just bad pms, but i think there's more to it. i'm afraid to tell my mother about it because she will just say i am too emotional. but i really feel like i cannot handle what life throws at me for these few days, and sometimes more and it is driving me crazy and ruining my life.

My mom recently died from lung cancer, and my granddad died thirteen years ago from prostate and bone cancer. Does this make my likelihood of getting cancer increase because of this, or is my risk about the same as someone who doesn't have any history of cancer in their family?
