Question 1

dental: is a cantilever fixed bridge ever a good idea to have?

Accepted Answer

Not really: It's never a good idea to have a cantilevered pontic. Is it done? Yes. Determined on a case by case basis? Yes. Is it a compromise? Yes. Can it lead to premature periodontal problems and fractured teeth? Yes. Has it been used for years without incident? Yes. Hope this helps with your inquiry..

Question 2

is biking at 60 a good idea?

Accepted Answer

Add weight-bearing : Everyone falls from a bike on occasion. So doing weight-bearing exercises to strengthen muscles and bones is important, getting into shape by using an exercycle is a good idea before getting on a bike again after months (or years). Riding with a helmet and reflective vest or shoes and tape is smart even if you were raised rising hands and helmet-free in the 50s and 60s! focus on safety :).

Question 3

is it a good idea to discipline my baby?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Remember, discipline means teaching to your rules. It is not "being punitive". That's key. Should you yell at, smack or punish your baby? No. That won't be effective. Should you discipline them? Sure. If they are doing behaviors that you want to encourage, then you should pay more attention. Early on, positive reinforcement works best. Later, time outs work as negative reinforcement.

Question 4

is giving baby up for adoption a good idea?

Accepted Answer

Discuss with close: Family members, trusted friends and counselor before you commit yourself to this idea. May god bless and guide you in your decision. Take care!                                                  http://www.Adoption.Com/.

Question 5

self confidence improvement methods. any good ideas?

Accepted Answer

Self confidence: Try tackling tasks you've been avoiding. As the old saying goes "if once you try & not succeed, try try again".

Question 6

would it be a good idea to eat before i come for a massage?

Accepted Answer

Not heavy meal: It is generally alright to eat before massage, acupuncture and acupressure. However, it would not be prudent to ingest a heavy meal before these procedures or to drink alcohol.

Question 7

could it be a good idea to eat something sugary before a workout?

Accepted Answer

Complex carbs: It can be helpful to eat complex carbs at least an hour before a workout.  Some people like to eat a little fruit as another option.  Generally i don't recommend sugar or sweets before a workout, since they can make your blood sugar spike high then drop.

Question 8

is it a good idea to do a high intensity work out every single day?

Accepted Answer

No: Your body needs cycles of rest vs intensity, you need to access what is the optimal time between each. The orbit of the planet doesn't determine it.

Question 9

please explain if it is really a good idea to "flush out" my system?

Accepted Answer

Depends: It depends on what you mean by "flush out." if it means drinking water, that is a good idea, but i would not do it to excess. Too much water can actually be harmful to your health. If that means taking a laxative, i would be wary. Moderation is the best policy.

Question 10

need help. is 3 hours of exercise per day a good idea, or a bad idea?

Accepted Answer

Bad idea: Unless you are a high level athlete with a specific training program, 3 hours is excessive.  Many of the benefits of exercise are lost after passing 45 minutes.   Excessive exercise leads to injuries.  Rather than exercising longer, exercise smarter.  Shorter duration with higher intensity would be better.  Change your diet to help meet your goals.  Allow time for rest and recovery.
