Question by stay golden: How to have a fun and effective work out?
I’m 175. I want to lose 10 pounds and more gain muscle mass. Now thats not a problem, the problem is I’m tired of doing the same thing everyday. I run 2 miles, bike 5 and do weights. I mix it up sometimes though. I have been doing this for about a month, and now I dont even want to go to the gym. Any fun, different and effective exercises?

Best answer:

Answer by Helen Joseph
That’s a good move to mix fun with exercise.For that you can practice yoga/exercise with your beloved ones or even with your pets.Believe me it will work wonders.Now-a-days doing yoga with your dog is gaining momentum and the concept is duly welcomed by the 3rd world countries.You can check out a large number of effective yoga poses from Divine Wellness website and can even learn a few from their web-based class.

Health Q&A: How does the Whole Foods total product offer differ from that of most health foods stores?

Question by angdejong: How does the Whole Foods total product offer differ from that of most health foods stores?
Do you think a Whole Foods outlet would succeed in another country? Why or why not?

Best answer:

Answer by Apples to Apples
The variety and selection is much greater than a typical health food store. I do think Whole Foods would do well in a country that is economically strong. People are very interested in organic food as opposed to the mainstream hormone and pesticide infested foods that we can actually afford to eat. I think Whole Foods is a great concept, I just don’t know how people can feed a family of 5. For a couple with no kids and limited expenses, but good income, Whole Foods offers a great alternative to mainstream grocery shopping. I wish we had one in my town and that I could actually afford to feed my family only organic foods.

Health Q&A: How do weight scales with body fat percentage calculation work?

Carla — Thu, 18 Aug 2011 16:05:45 +0000

by johnwilliamsphd

Question by soulblazer28: How do weight scales with body fat percentage calculation work?
Hello, I am in a competetion where the total of weight percentage loss and fat percentage loss determines the winner. Besides diet and exercise, is there anything specific I can do on the final days of the competetion to squeeze out an extra 0.5% in body fat percentage by tricking the scale?

For example, if I drink a gallon of water before the weigh-in that will add pounds but could it decrease body fat percentage? The scale for body fat % is measured in increments by 0.5%, so just a slight variation can cause it to go from 10.0 to 9.5% for example. That small of a difference can be huge on the final tally.

Best answer:

Answer by fightintxaggie98
Most of the body fat scales I’ve seen use electrical impedance to measure body content. I don’t know how to fool the scale, but the water theory sounds like it could work. Only thing is that if you push it too much, you risk water toxicity.

Health Q&A: What vitamins and minerals work together?

Carla — Tue, 16 Aug 2011 16:05:39 +0000

Question by Ace: What vitamins and minerals work together?
I want to take advantage of the fact that some vitamins and minerals are better absorbed when taken with certain other vitamins and minerals. I’m already aware of the following:

Vitamin E and Selenium
Vitamin C and bioflavenoids
Vitamin D and Calcium

Are these accurate? And are there any others that I should know about? I am particularly interested in Zinc and Vitamin A.
