Question 3

i lost 8 pounds the past month. due 2 stress i've been eating less & also cut out pop, sweets & fastfood which i used to eat a lot of. is this a normal amount of weight to lose from those changes?

Accepted Answer

Weight loss due to: Stress is fairly common. If you didn't lose more than 10 lbs from your baseline weight,  i won't worry about it. Get examined for thyroid or chronic medical illness. Take care!

Question 4

i've been eating fastfood for 6 months,3 times a week and gained only stomach weight.i've fast metabolism,so i'm concernd,could it be medical problem?

Accepted Answer

Your plan is?: are you trying to gain weight?

you are eating fast food to gain weight!

what you mean by stomach weight? waist.

eating fast food will not make you gain a healthy weight, it will only increase your cholesterol, and your lipids in your blood, and increase your chance of heart disease.
if you are concern about your metabolism problems , you can check with a local physician to run some test.

Question 5

after i eat fastfood & walk home from the fastfood, i try to walk a bit fast to get home and when i do walk  i start to get a cramp on my leftside ?

Accepted Answer

This is probably: GAS in your left upper colon where it CURVES under your spleen ( "SPLENIC FLEXURE SYNDROME)

You essentially 'shake" your colon like a cocktail shaker and the gas RISES to the "highest level" of the large bowel the splenic curve in the left upper abdomen!

Hope this helps!

Question 6

weekly migraine headaches normally triggeredby certain foofoods, direct sunlight. managing by inducing vomiting drinking warm water & skipping 2 meals?

Accepted Answer

Migraines: are quite common but very RARE to begin over age 60. Often they interact with food. A new severe headache certainly would be a reason to check out if there is a brain problem by taking a look like with a cat scan.

Without an actual examination, I cannot give specific medical advice on your particular health, however

Question 7

since i got a bone contusion on right top foot, i changed the way i walked on that foot and now, i stand a bit over prone. idk if this has to do with my feet and knees getting sore after 1-2 hrs of work(fastfood), but even trying insoles & new shoes?

Accepted Answer

: Using an abnormal gait to protect your injured foot will definitely result in muscle problems. Too bad that you can't take some time off from work to allow some healing to occur. A podiatrist can advise you how to handle this injury best &amp;advise you about what type of footwear is best.

Question 8

are fruit smoothies healthy?

Accepted Answer

Yes: As long as you use fresh fruit.

Question 9

are beef sweetbreads healthy?

Accepted Answer

No: Sweetbread is the pancreas. First, any beef product is unhealthy. There is no reason to ever eat that. There are many other dining options out there. Second, you increase your fat intake (particularly the pancreas compared to muscle meat), cholesterol, and inflammation, especially if it's not organic, free-roaming, vegetarian-fed (what cows naturally eat).

Question 10

are potatoes healthy?

Accepted Answer

Potatoes: This food is a substantial source of carbohydrate. As part of a balanced diet with protein and far, it is fine to eat. Eating a proper number of calories with a proper nutrient balance is the key to healthy nutrition.
