Question 4

what is the normal body weight for a 2 month old baby?

Accepted Answer

There is a normal : range from 5th-95th %ile for infant weight, recumbent length &amp; head circumference for age. Gender-specific growth charts are used for these parameters + weight-for-length. Pediatricians use growth charts to monitor for normal, accelerated or decreased velocity of growth of each parameter along any %ile, as typical growth &amp; development tell us more than any fancy test that a baby is doing well.

Question 5

is 139 a normal body weight for an 18 year old woman 
with a height of 5'5"

i can't remember what the healthy or normal weight range is

Accepted Answer

It is on the high si: You would do better closer to 130.pounds. I would advise you you to aim for 130 yet we will except you to have healthy weight upto a maximum of 135 pounds. So make efforts to cut out 100 calories of food/sweeter liquids out daily and you can achieve your target and remain healthy once you stick with this plan.
Good luck.

Question 6

Reduce risk: Maintain a healthy life style, avoid smoking or use of street drugs, avoid exposure to infected people, if immunodeficient take medications as prescribed to improve your immune function

Question 7

how close do i need to be to a normal body weight to be a good candidate for liposculpture? can i get liposculpture if i'm about 40 lbs. overweight, or do i have to lose weight first?

Accepted Answer

It's : It's generally a good idea to lose your excess weight prior to surgery if possible. It will make the surgery easier to perform, likely with better results. If you know from past experience that you're not likely to be able to lose more than 15-20 pounds, then it's reasonable to undergo liposuction even you're not at your ideal weight. Some patients are better able to lose weight, and are more motivated, after surgery. The main issue will be whether you have fat deposits or accumulations that can be nicely treated with liposculpture/liposuction. If the overlying skin quality is poor, or if you have loose or excess skin, you may benefit more from a different type of procedure.

Good luck.

Question 8

is there a cream to tighten tummy ,i had c secion before 1 year ,i had normal body weight but i found my tummy different from before?

Accepted Answer

If only that easy...: Body sculpting sounds promising (&amp; there are gimmicks &amp; diets that promise you their products can do this), but the only way to effectively spot-reduce is surgery.  Lose 1 pound of fat per 3500 calories you drop or work off, but you can't pick where--sorry. You have much to gain from a moderate diet, regular exercise (get a personal trainer who can help you strive toward your goal) &amp; consistency.

Question 9

i'm 17, and have normal body weight and good shape, i used to be fat when i was younger. my problem is fat in my lower jaw and lower face..how i fix?

Accepted Answer

Facial fat: Diet and exercise can reduce the fat in your body overall. However, they cannot reduce the fat in only certain areas. There is no form of diet or exercise that will spot reduce body fat.

Question 10

i was taking multivitamins containing 30 mcg chromium, i took 15 tablets. after that i started facing with hypoglicemic attacks. i have them for three months. i am not diabetic and i have normal body weight. could chromium be the cause of hypoglicemi?

Accepted Answer

Chromium low sugar: I am not aware that chromium toxicity includes low blood sugar.  I am aware that those who make vitamins are not regulated and often add substances to vitamin supplements including viagara, met formin(which can lower blood sugar. Stop them and see if you stop them you get better.
