    Something wrong with my throat/esophagus think I need a doctor

    A medical term for difficulty swallowing is dysphagia, so you may want to search for causes: Mayo Clinic mentions quite some causes. MedlinePlus has a list of links to various sites. Write down exact symptoms and circumstances in which this happens and discuss it with your doctor. This alone...

    Old people (and healthcare professionals): WTF do my cholesterol numbers mean?

    Pantlegz, high intake of saturated fats in combination with low intake of polyunsaturated fats increases blood LDL cholesterol levels. Here's a graph that shows the effect of saturated, mono- and polyunsaturated and trans fats on LDL cholesterol levels. So, if someone wants to decrease LDL...

    Old people (and healthcare professionals): WTF do my cholesterol numbers mean?

    Officially, your total and LDL cholesterol are "borderline high." http://www.nutrientsreview.com/lipids/cholesterol.html#tests The following can help you decrease total and LDL cholesterol: - Losing weight (if overweight) - Lower intake of saturated fat (red meat, cheese), trans fat (fast...

    How many ml of gin/vodka a day won't make you fat?

    Yes, it is parallel to some extent. I don't see anything beyond calorie effect here, anyway. You've mentiond calories pulled from glycogen vs fat affecting food craving differently. Would you mind to give some link?

    How many ml of gin/vodka a day won't make you fat?

    From what I know, you always first pull energy from glycogen until you have it and only then from fat stores. If you drink alcohol, then you will first pull energy from alcohol, then from glycogen and then from body fat. I agree that food craving is a major factor in weight loss. For me and for...

    Anyone into the whole super foods thing?

    "Superfoods" is a pure commercial term, not a medical or scientific term in any sense. They call them superfoods because they contain a bit more of certain nutrients (but not others) as other usual foods. But as mentioned above, if you eat some widely available (and much cheaper) whole-grain...

    Anyone into the whole super foods thing?

    what just happened to my left shoulder? yikes!

    It does not need to be rotator cuff tear. They are other shoulder muscles in the shoulder. The tendons can be strained, partially or completely torn. If it's not some big muscle as deltoid or biceps, it may not decrease the arm function much. I imagine that during a sudden move with the left...

    Tummy/gut ache or pulled muscle(s)?

    Pulled muscle would be likely tender at the exact spot. The pain you have described can come from the intestine. The location is suspiciously close to the appendix. Appendicitis usually develops quicker as you've described, but if the pain moves further to the right and down or if you get fever...

    How many ml of gin/vodka a day won't make you fat?

    I don't see anything dramatic in this. It says that alcohol is metabolized first. Of course if you drink alcohol and calories from alcohol are used, less calories from fat will be used. It does not say anything about alcohol having more impact on weight gain as you can conclude from its calorie...

    How many ml of gin/vodka a day won't make you fat?

    Not much science needed for this. One shot (45 mL) of vodka has about 100 Calories. These calories have the same effect as calories from fat or sugar or whatever.

    I'm totally stopping sodas - Anyone else here massively addicted?

    You are probably sensitive to caffeine, which means you get symptoms of intoxication at much lower doses as most other people. If you urinate only a small amount every time, it means that caffeine irritates your bladder.

    Weird "funny bone" pain in foot

    I often have such problems when I buy new shoes.

    Weird "funny bone" pain in foot

    Could it be shoes with tight laces? That's probably most common cause of pain at the top of the feet. Especially when triggered with steps as you described. Note, that if you release the laces or change the shoes, the feeling may not go away immediately.

    Omega 3 super pill?

    The only effect of fish oil I'm aware of that was confirmed by studies is lowering triglyceride levels. But if you regularly eat fish, it's very unlikely fish oil supplements will give you any additional benefit. Here's a comparison of omega-3 oils (fish oil vs cod liver oil vs krill oil vs...

    Workout/Sports Drinks

    Yes, it was reported she died from hyponatremia caused by water intoxication. According to the Boston Globe she was drinking Gatorade. My point is that drinking a lot of fluid, even if it is some common sport drink with relatively little sodium in it, can cause water intoxication. I am by no...

    Workout/Sports Drinks

    I am reading this thread as "do you need sport drinks?" which, for me, means, do you need to replace sodium during exercise? I believe, there is no need to replace sodium in exercise lasting for less than 4 hours by drinking sport drinks. Carbohydrates give you energy, yes, but you may want to...

    Workout/Sports Drinks

    I said 4 hours, someone will say less. I personally think that sport drinks might not be needed even for a marathon. Of course someone wants to drink it because of taste and to get some sugar for energy. A woman who died after the Boston marathon in 2002 due to water intoxication, was drinking...

    Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness - what to do in advance?

    The part you've quoted from Runners World does not say anything about effectiveness of any method. Various foods, like broccoli..., being high in certain nutrients does not already mean they can help in acute muscle injuries. If those nutrients work, they would need to be taken in much...

    Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness - what to do in advance?

    I don't agree with above advice. Foam roller is intended for myofascial pain - that is chronic pain associated with muscle knots. I also don't know how and why would any food or supplement help. Acute muscle soreness probably results from micro muscle injuries. A gentle stretching massage or...

    L-tyrosine for energy, depression and.. tanning. Anybody tried it?

    Tyrosine may increase alertness but it does not likely help in depression. The fact that is is converted to dopamine does not already mean that has any any health benefit beyond its basic functions in the body. http://www.nutrientsreview.com/proteins/amino-acids/tyrosine.html Unless if you are...

    Workout/Sports Drinks

    I drink mineral water. It's tasty and light. You may need sport drinks in prolonged exercise (>4 hours = marathon) when it is not comfortable to eat something (and thus consume some sodium). Otherwise you do not need nothing (sodium, potassium, magnesium...) except plain water. You can read...

    Mouse/Keyboard related carpal tunnel syndrome

    Do not do any strengthening exercises for wrists until you are in pain or soon after. I can't imagine how exercises would help, anyway. Carpal tunnel syndrome comes from a tight space in your wrists where the muscle tendons and nerves run into your hand. So, it's to reduce the use of wrists...

    Water loss mystery

    Salt retained water in your body for a while - from here the puffiness. Then, after several hours, both the salt and water were excreted through the kidneys and you were slim and few pounds lighter again. So, most likely you went back to the weight you had before eating. Or maybe, if not...

    Best way to reduce lower belly fat?

    Why would you want that? Instead of water? Milk has proteins and fats which keep milk in the stomach for much longer than water. So, the milk would then jump in your stomach...

    Damn, breakfast is a trap. And large portion habits are hard to break.

    This fast food meat has something addictive in it. I don't know, maybe it's just salt or the fact that it doesn't have any fiber so it goes quickly down...

    Protein farts OMG

    The smell of the protein farts comes from the sulfur in the amino acids. Search for "sulfur gas." The gas by itself -- its volume that causes bloating and flatulence does not come from protein but possibly from: - Lactose or polyols used as sweeteners in protein powder/shakes - Soluble fiber in...

    Do flexible muscles burn more calories than non-flexible muscles?

    I don't know the exact answer, but with regular stretching, the involved muscles, their tendons and the ligaments in the related joints become more loose or lax if you want and that's all a mechanical process, not a chemical or metabolic process and there is no increased protein synthesis or...

    Do flexible muscles burn more calories than non-flexible muscles?

    Your muscles become more flexible by regular stretching. This is pretty much all you need to know. Typically, after regular stretching for some days, you will be likely able to finger-touch the ground with the extended knees. You do not need more or less muscle mass for that or blood or oxygen or...

    Woke up with some serious jaw pain.

    Pain in teeth probably comes from...teeth. Heart-related pain (angina pectoris) lasts for less than 5 minutes and it's mainly located behind the breastbone. If it radiates to the jaw it also very likely radiates into the neck and left arm. More causes of jaw pain

    What happens when fat stores are depleted?

    Do you have any source that says that glycogen stores increase when your body fat stores decrease? I'm currently not aware of this. Your maximal glycogen stores are pretty much the same all the time. With very low body fat, you might burn glycogen (and muscle protein) faster. There's one...

    Been sweating a lot from armpits latetly

    The claim that carbs are bad for health is a myth. I'm not aware of any serious study that would say that carbohydrate foods that contain some fiber (whole grains) are bad for health. They are sugars and other quick carbohydrates (white bread, pasta, rice and potatoes) that can be too heavy for...

    Been sweating a lot from armpits latetly

    Most salt we eat does not come from chips and other snacks

    Facts: 1. Foods that have salt on their surfaces (chips, French fries) or salted liquids (soups, sport drinks) taste much more salty than foods with the same amount of salt hidden deeply in the food (bread, meat). 2. The current recommendation from American Heart Association is less than 1.5 g...

    You've mentioned "meat farts," which are also known as "protein farts" or "sulfur gas." It does not matter from where the protein comes: it can be eggs or cheese and most likely the shakes...Proteins from the shakes are no batter than proteins from natural foods. Meat or eggs can cause some...
