Health - 17 April 2007

Okay...
I eat like 2 times a day.
and well people on yahoo answers tell me I should eat like 4-5 small meals daily

but I don't know what to eat?

Can I replace a meal with a snack bar(like a Special K bar? and not eat like cereal or chicken breast or a salad? coz I'm afraid of those foods?)
I literally throw up my salad, because I think I might gain weight with it.

But dont worry people, I haven't thrown up since like April 1st

I'm trying to be better about eating vegetables, but except for the occasional salad, I really only like cooked vegetables, like in soup. Am I still gettting the benefits of eating them if they've been cooked for hours in a pot of water and spices?

About a week or so ago, I answered a question and I phrased it wrong. I mentioned that vertigo and Meniere's were the same thing. What I actually meant to say is that they are similar to each other...NOT the same thing. That was my mistake. Sometimes, my fingers get ahead of my brain. I apologize.

After working a 24 hour shift when I got my a** handed to me, my mind is sometimes not all here. I'm exhausted but still wired on adrenaline and I come onto Yahoo Answers to wind down.

Yes, I am a REAL medical professional. I am an emergency medical technician.

I suppose it would help if I proofread what I write.

I'm considering seals for my son(9)'s teeth but know that in the next 4-5 years, he will have braces put on. Can braces be put on teeth with seals on them or do they need to be removed first? I don't want to bother if they'll just need to be removed in a few years.

THIS IS NOT A SPECIFIC DENTAL CONDITION FOR THIS CHILD ONLY, SO IT SHOULD BE A STRAIGHT FORWARD ANSWER ACROSS THE BOARD. DON'T ANSWER: ASK THE DENTIST.

I'm 5'3", 140 pounds and 16 years old. Could I get away with switching off from eating 1300 calories one day, and then 600 the next, and keep on doing that without my metabolism slowing down?

I recently found out that a very close relative of mine has colon cancer. Is there anyone who has survived cancer that would like to share their story? It is a very scary time, and any positive outcomes regarding cancer could help uplift his mood.

Thanks!

I don't have a negative outlook on life, I'm not suicidal, but lately (like the last 3 months or so) I've just been so listless. I don't really care about anything, and I have no motivation. If I could, I would lie around in bed all day. I feel like I'm just dragging myself everywhere I go, and I never want to go anywhere or do anything. I feel sleepy all the time, and I always take long naps in addition to the 8 hours of sleep I get every night. I don't ALWAYS feel this way, but I'd say that the majority of the time I do feel this way. I'm still functioning; my home is still clean, I'm still going to my classes and getting good grades...but it's only because I force myself to do it...it's like I'm in a sleepy bored unmotivated trance all the time...what do you think it could be? I really hate this; are there any websites or articles you recommend that I read? Thanks for your advice people!

p.s. I do plan on asking my doc about this at my upcoming appointment

I recently have been feeling some discomfort and slight pain in my chest. It has been 3 days now and it's increasing. The feeling is like a fast hard rush of adrenyline that lasts for about 2-5 seconds. Or the same feeling you get when you are driving fast and go down a hill. I have a BP meter and nothing spikes in my BP. It says my heartbeat is normal. I do have slight increased BP at times and am 2 months pregnant. So anyone who has any offers of suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thought this was very worthwhile so I'm sending it on to you......

Cancer update -- Johns Hopkins -- Cancer News from Johns Hopkins :


1. No plastic containers in micro.




2. No water bottles in freezer.




3. No plastic wrap in microwave.




Johns Hopkins has recently sent this out in its newsletters. This information is being circulated at Walter Reed Army MedicalCenter as well.




Dioxin chemicals causes cancer, especially breast cancer.






Dioxins are highly poisonous to the cells of our bodies. Don't freeze your plastic bottles with water in them as this releases dioxins from the plastic.




Recently, Dr. Edward Fujimoto, Wellness Program Manager at Castle Hospital , was on a TV program to explain this health hazard. He talked about dioxins and how bad they are for us.




He said that we should not be heating our food in the microwave using plastic containers. This especially applies to foods that contain fat. He said that the combination of fat, high heat, and plastics releases dioxin into the food and ultimately into the cells of the body.




Instead, he recommends using glass, such as Corning Ware, Pyrex or ceramic containers for heating food. You get the same results, only without the dioxin. So such things as TV dinners, instant ramen and soups, etc., should be removed from the container and heated in something else. Paper isn't bad but you don't know what is in the paper. It's just safer to use tempered glass, Corning Ware, etc.




He reminded us that a while ago some of the fast food restaurants moved away from the foam containers to paper. The dioxin problem is one of the reasons.




Also, he pointed out that plastic wrap, such as Saran, is just as dangerous when placed over foods to be cooked in the microwave. As the food is nuked, the high heat causes poisonous toxins to actually melt out of the plastic wrap and drip into the food.




Cover food with a paper towel instead.




This is an article that should be sent to anyone important in your life!
