Question 2

i have headach from aweek ago?

Accepted Answer

Anything: Your headaches could be coming from tension, dehydration, lack of sleep/poor sleep, skipping meals, stress, eye strain, teeth grinding, sleep apnea/snoring, or chronic sinus problems.

Question 3

why aren't proto-oncogenes always oncogenic?

Accepted Answer

Environmental Causes: Proto-oncogenes are genetic coding that, given the proper environment and triggers, will begin coding to the abnormal proteins leading to cancer.  Sometimes, even having proper oncogenes will not lead to a cancer.  I cannot stress enough that cancer is a combination of nature (genes) and nurture (environment) with a slightly heavier weight on nurture.

Question 4

should everyone wear a medical alert bracelet?

Accepted Answer

No: Only people with life-threatening conditions that need to be taken care of immediately - e.g. Epilepsy or a severe allergy that can lead to death in minutes.

Question 5

how to stay concentrated and alert all day long?

Accepted Answer

Adequate sleep,: a healthy diet and appropriate exercise. Am not sure why "pregnancy" showed up on the topic tags. However, if you are pregnant, even more reason to avoid any kind of stimulant, including caffeine.  A modest amount of caffeine is not harmful, but larger doses - like people using 5 hour energy four times a day - is NOT healthy. If you are having problems with alertness/concentration, see your doctor

Question 6

Accepted Answer

You decide: Some believe a girl/woman remains a virgin if her hymen is intact. Others still believe a woman can have any type of sex other than vaginal intercourse & still be a virgin.  In contrast, some believe that a woman/girl loses her virginity once she uses a tampon! in many cultures that consider(ed) women property the notion of virginity is/was very impt. How does this notion affect ur life?

Question 10

good exercise for kayak sprinter competing at national level?

Accepted Answer

Exercise: Great question. As a sprint kayak racer you need a great core program as week as upper body resistance training to include back, arms, and shoulders.  This should include a combination of endurance, strength and power exercises. Also because of the multiple positions you must accomodate you should include perturbations in multiple body positions.
