Question 1

what's ion channels?

Accepted Answer

Electric: Your brain, nerves, heart, and muscles work by signals transmitted along membranes; these travel by channels that admit different ions (sodium, potassium, calcium, probably others) at different times in response to one another. How an electric charge moves through the body. Many medications affect them for better or worse.

Question 2

ion braclets do they work?

Accepted Answer

Agree with Doc: Agree with dr. Proffit. They look cool, probably triggering a placebo effect. We will look at anything that romises to make us feel better, golf like a pro, perform like a magician. Unfortunately, it's ghostly crap. Next time you drive by a fancy new neighborhood, stop in and have them thank you for helping pay their mortgage!...

Question 3

my age 20 year iwant grow 4inches?

Accepted Answer

Sorry: Most people's growth plates have fused by age 17 or 18. A year or two earlier for girls. After that there is little change in height.

Question 4

how do positive or negative ions affect health?

Accepted Answer

See below: Negative ions are odorless, tasteless, and invisible molecules that we inhale in abundance in certain environments. Think mountains, waterfalls, and beaches. Once they reach our bloodstream, negative ions are believed to produce biochemical reactions that increase levels of the mood chemical serotonin, helping to alleviate depression, relieve stress, and boost our daytime energy.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Visit a nutritionist: Get your doctor to refer you to a heart doctor and clear you for exercise program. Start walking daily, increasing time walking by 5 minutes every day until your desired goal. No more fried food/cakes/sweets/sugar/alcohol.  Take a friend or mate with you. It will make it so much easier.

Question 6

my age 20 now..can i grow ht now..my ht is 1.80m..iwant to gro more taller upto 1.85..is there any source..??

Accepted Answer

No: For some reason, all of these height questions come only from India. You can NOT make yourself grow taller. The body doesn't work that way. It is based on genetics and a lifetime of proper nutrition. At your age, you are very unlikely to grow any taller.

Question 7

i spotted day 1-3 and heavy on day 4 . is there something i need to worry about ? has cognizant ion 14 yrs ago.

Accepted Answer

See below: There are a number of reasons for spotting or abnormal bleeding or menstruation. Most of the causes are NOT due to any serious condition such as cancer. But it is IMPORTANT to see a gynecologist to find out the cause and to be SURE that nothing serious is present.

The most common cause is Dysfunctional Uterine Bleeding(DUB): The cause is hormonal. SEE: http:// bit.ly/19cKee5  http:/bit.ly/1CnC9xV

Question 8

iwant to lose weight. what i have to do?

Accepted Answer

Calorie reduction: Losing weight is not just about exercising but calorie restriction is vital.  Exercising does not increase weight loss without proper calorie balance.  It may help increase metabolism but you'll still need to balance your calories properly.  Find a physician to get a plan of action or a nutritionist who can help you figure out the best kinda of diet for you.

Question 9

iwant to increase body weight which exercise should i do?

Accepted Answer

Muscle building: Seek exercises that stimulate the large muscle groups including thighs, back and chest. By performing intensely for short periods of time on a regular basis, your body will build muscle. Muscle weighs more than fat, so feed your muscles with dense nutrient foods and get rid of the concentrated sweets, bad fats and soft drinks. A personal trainer would be a great resource for you.

Question 10

diabetic need someone to make me a menu everyday of what ican and how much to eat?

Accepted Answer

Nutritionist: If you have a local diabetes center that would be the place to start. Otherwise, local hospital dietitians are also trained to do this. It's difficult to take this on without the right guidance- completely agree with you. Good luck.
