Asked in Health, ADD-ADHD, Medication and Drugs
What medications are used to treat ADHD?

Far too many. First of all, get yourself or your child a full medical checkout, and also check for food intolerances as well as vitamin and mineral deficiencies, remedy those and then asses again if you still have a problem. Far too often, a behaviour problem stems from causes like these and although ADHD is referred to as chemical imbalance in the brain, doctors don't really test for it. This is a good way to make sure you're not flooding your kidneys and liver with unnecessary harmful substances (aka ADHD medication) while the actual problem keeps going on and possibly worsening, undetected.
Asked by Jude Beatty in Health, Dieting and Weight Loss, Nutrition
Is breakfast the most important meal of the day?

More research is needed to get a conclusive answer, but some studies have suggested that eating a nutritious meal in the morning does help to kickstart your metabolism. Nutritious is the keyword here, as there’s obviously a big difference between eggs and donuts when it comes to a beneficial breakfast. It’s also been shown that going without breakfast is associated with a higher Body Mass Index. The weight aspect aside, most experts seem to be in favor of a well-balanced breakfast that includes protein, whole grain, and a fruit or vegetable.
However, the tagline "breakfast is the most important meal of the day" was actually coined by cereal companies as a marketing tactic, so it’s fair to be a little skeptical of breakfast’s supposed benefits. And what’s more, there’s some research to back up that skepticism—one recent review found no significant weight management benefits to eating breakfast.
"The key message is that if a person likes to eat breakfast, that is fine. However, there is no evidence that we should be encouraging people to change their eating pattern to include breakfast in order to prevent weight gain or obesity," Flavia Cicuttini, senior author of the review, said.
Asked by Rasheed Connelly in Health, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
How can you make yourself stop touching your face?

If it helps, you’re not the only one. According to a 2015 study, people touch their faces an average of 23 times per hour. That’s a pretty tough habit to break, but doing so could significantly decrease your risk of contracting infections.
One of the most common ways for infections to spread is when you touch something, picking up a germ, and then rub your eyes, nose, or mouth. To kick the habit, experts in hand hygiene (which, yes, is a real thing you can be an expert in) suggest changing something in your environment, like wearing something on your hands or face, to make you realize you’re touching your face. If you’re aware you’re doing it, you can train yourself to stop. And if you really need to scratch your nose or something, they suggest covering your hand in a tissue.

Asked in Health, Human Anatomy and Physiology, Drinking Water
Is drinking too much water toxic?

Yes, drinking too much water can be toxic - except it is very
hard to drink too much fresh, clean water to be able to die. Normal
healthy people would need to drink on the order of 20 liters per
day for it to be toxic but people with some medical problems,
particularly the elderly and very young, can get toxic on much
lesser amounts. Also people with psychiatric disorders, most
notably schizophrenia.
Drinking too much water is called polydipsia. This, as well as
several other processes, can cause low blood concentrations of
sodium, which is known as (dilutional) hyponatremia.
Asked by Ladarius Brekke in Sanitization and Germs, Health
Is using hand sanitizer just as good as washing your hands?

Not really. Obviously, sanitizer is better than nothing, but washing your hands is preferable in a variety of circumstances.There are certain kinds of germs that sanitizers aren’t great at getting rid of, and many people don’t use them properly (not using enough or wiping it off prematurely, for example). Hand washing is also a better option when your hands are visibly greasy or dirty, and it’s much better at getting rid of harmful chemicals like pesticides.However, hand washing isn’t always convenient, and there are so many cute and good-smelling hand sanitizers in the world, it would be a shame to forsake them entirely. If you use hand sanitizers, you want one with at least 60 percent alcohol for maximum effectiveness.
Asked in Health, Exercise, Weightlifting, Weight Training and Strength Training
How long does it take to see weight lifting results?

You can get results in 1-2 weeks. That is, you can 'feel'
some muscles growing, but dont expect to look noticably different.
On the first day lift weights for about 30 mins, and make sure you
lift weights that are 'reasonably heavy' but not to an extent that
you are struggling after the 3rd lift (rep). Your muscles must
hurt for a few days after this session, to the extent that when
you extend your arm it hurts, and when you do a sit up it hurts. If
they don't , you need to go back and lift heavier weights. Once you
have completed this initial session, you need to increase your
weights marginally each session. For toning your body you generally
go for less weights but more reps. For big muscles you go for
bigger weights but fewer reps. Also, make sure you rest your
muscles for at least 48 hours otherwise you could actually go
backwards! So on day one you might do biceps and abs, on day 2 you
do chest and triceps. If you go to the gym 4 or 5 days a week, I
promise you will notice some difference (or moreso 'feeling' ) in
about 2 weeks. After 4 you will notice your biceps and chest musles
will be bigger. After 6 bigger, etc etc. The more results you get,
the more research you can do on better exercisies , diet, etc.
Finally, its important to know how muscles develop: when you lift
weights you are sort of 'damaging' or tearing your muscles. Your
body needs to repair them, which it does in the 48 hour rest
period, but actually makes the muscle slightly bigger 'just in
case'. This is why you need to increase your weights marginally
after each training session.

Asked in Health, Vitamins and Supplements, Urinary System
Is bright yellow urine normal?

It's not necessarily a danger sign. You may be simply offloading
a high concentration of vitamin C (which, when you over-consume,
simply dumps the excess to the urine), or betacarotene, the
precursor to vitamin A, and the coloring agent in lots of orange
fruits and veggies such as carrots or cantaloupe. Also, a lot of
the B-vitamins can have this exact effect. If the urine is clear,
this is a good sign and makes the vitamin density the most likely
explanation.
It could also mean that you're somewhat dehydrated and you're
expelling very rich urine. In that case - rehydrate! :} Note that
this works better with liquids that have some electrolytes in them
- some salts. These include sports drinks like Gatorade, various
juices (such as orange, pineapple or tomato), or simply drinking
water and having a banana or two (high in potassium - an
electrolyte).
Far less common are cases of kidney problems. But if this is a
new phenomenon for you, and has no other symptoms, I wouldn't worry
unless it persists.
I would definitely rather be excreting excess vitamins in my
bright yellow (normal) urine, than having clear urine and
vitamin-starved body cells.
More comments from WikiAnswers contributors:
Asparagus is another veggie that will make your urine bright
yellow. Drink lots of water (8 glasses a day) and that will help to
flush out the kidneys.
Bright yellow urine can mean that your body is dehydrated and
also it can mean you are highly acidic. Yellow urine indicates that
a person is able to flush out acids stored in the body or that a
person's body is not able to process the food that he is eating. If
it is the first situation it is good. If it is second situation it
is bad. Liver does not get any water if taken with meals or shortly
afterward. Such water is flushed out of the body faster. One should
drink 1 hour before meals to be able to get the water to the liver.
Except for this period one should not drink water. Drinking one
hours before meals will help water to stay in the body for a longer
period and work on the acids and toxins for a longer time.
Taking certain vitamins will turn your urine intensely
yellow.
Urine should be almost clear in color, if you're drinking
enough clear fluids. The less you drink, the darker your urine will
become, and some medications will affect urine color. If you're not
taking meds, then up your water intake; drinking cranberry juice
also helps the kidneys to flush any toxins which can lead to
urinary tract infections.
Water, water and more water! Six 8 oz. glasses a day is what is
good for you, but even 4-5 will make a difference.
To add, it is usually the B Vitamins, found either in
multivitamins or as a additional supplement, that can make urine
bright yellow or even orange. Other medications, such as ones for
urinary tract infections, can do the same thing (such as
phenazopydidine, AZO-standard, etc.). Read the information the
pharmacy gives along with any prescription medication you are
taking to see if this is a common side effect of them. Otherwise,
you can certainly see a physician if you are concerned.
Although this is a commonly mentioned "fact" in the news, there
is no scientific evidence behind the "8 glasses of water a day"
theory.
Before you spend a bunch of money on supplements (many of which
are useless), try drinking more water. Urine is yellow because the
major waste product of the blood, bilirubin converts to urobilin in
the kidneys. Urobilins are yellow. Drinking more water will dilute
your urine and it will appear clearer.
While it is true that many are re-thinking the "8 glasses a day
theory," it is also true that not being properly hydrated can cause
urine that is bright yellow in color. B Vitamins and other
medications can also cause discolored urine. Pay attention to your
fluid intake (and remember to drink before you feel thirsty), and
you should see a change in color.
Asked by Derick Treutel in Drinking Water, Health
Do I really need to drink eight glasses of water per day?

Although conventional wisdom holds that humans need eight, 8-ounce glasses of water each day, the truth is a little more complicated. According to The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, an adequate daily fluid intake is about 125 ounces (3.7 liters) for men and about 91 ounces (2.7 liters) for women. However, keep in mind that these fluid intake guidelines include all sources of water, not just glasses of the stuff. In fact, we get about 20 percent of our daily water from what we eat, especially fruits and vegetables.
The truth is that when it comes to hydration, one size does not fit all. There are many factors that should influence an individual’s daily water intake, including where you live, your activity level, and your overall health. So while there is no scientific evidence that supports the “8x8 rule,” staying hydrated is still important. The best advice is to trust your own body, and when you’re thirsty, reach for water first.

How to build muscle and burn fat?

HOW TO BUILD MUSCLE AND BURN FAT
(suitable for men or women)
How to build muscle and burn fat? Well, the correct ways to burn
fat and build muscle are through specific eating habits and
specific exercises. The best overall approach involves three
components:
(1) Eating specific foods
(2) Weight/Strength training
(3) Cardiovascular (cardio) exercise
Awaiting you at the bottom of this answer, are links
to free lists of foods to eat and foods to avoid, choices of
free cardio exercise plans, and free weight/strength training
exercises/routines. These links will guide you at your own pace;
clearly showing you step by step how to build muscle and burn
fat.
First, on this page, let me give you an overview of the three
component parts.
(1) HOW TO BUILD MUSCLE AND BURN FAT THROUGH
EATING
Here's how to cut through all the confusion about correct
eating.
Eat a small meal about every three waking hours. You will
not be eating more food, you will simply be spreading it throughout
the day. It's critical never to skip a meal, and to obtain
sufficient quality protein at each meal. 'Sufficient' means at
least 15 grams per feeding if you are female and at least 20 grams
per feeding if you are male. Your protein should come from
unprocessed (preferably organic where possible), natural
sources.
To lose body fat, and for optimum health, avoid or strictly
limit refined processed carbohydrates (apart from an occasional
treat). Over-consumption of refined processed carbohydrates is a
major cause of unwanted body fat, insulin resistance, fat
accumulating around the abdomen or stomach, overall weight gain,
obesity, hypertension, heart disease, type 2 diabetes and many
other diet related diseases and conditions.
If you are unsure what these foods are, at the bottom of
this answer you will find a page link leading to a list of refined
processed carbohydrates.
Replace refined processed carbohydrates with more of the
so-called fat burning foods and make use of the thermic effect
of fat burning foods. Drink plenty of fresh water to enable you
body to process these foods. I suggest 3 quarts daily and adjusting
your intake from there (unless you have a medical condition that
would prohibit this).
If you are unsure what these foods are, at the bottom of
this answer you will find a page link leading to a full list, and
more detailed information about the thermic effect of food.
Eating this way (as outlined above) will significantly boost
your metabolism. Increasing your metabolic rate is the key to
achieving and sustaining a low percentage of body fat. Again,
remember to drink plenty of clean water. As stated earlier, I
suggest 3 quarts daily and adjusting your intake from there (unless
you have a medical condition that would prohibit this).
(2) HOW TO BUILD MUSCLE AND BURN FAT THROUGH WEIGHT/ STRENGTH
TRAINING
Proper weight/strength training will build muscle, which is your
METABOLIC FURNACE that burns additional calories 24 hours a day
and not just when you are exercising. Do a whole body routine.
Concentrate on the basic, compound exercises, which are full
squats, deadlifts, presses, rows, dips, and chins. Learn proper
exercise technique and use it on every rep.
Once you are able to train intensely, you'll experience
DOMS. In order to ensure systemic recovery, wait 24 or 48 hours
after all DOMS has disappeared before training again.
Remember: you do not grow in the gym.
What you do in the gym should stimulate growth during the
recovery period. Exercise is like medicine: too little is
ineffective and too much is counter-productive. Therefore, between
sessions get plenty of rest and sleep.
As stated earlier, at the bottom of this answer, you can find page
links to free exercises/routines suitable for beginners and
upwards, as well as relevant information such as safety and warm-up
tips.
(3) HOW TO BUILD MUSCLE AND BURN FAT THROUGH CARDIOVASCULAR
(CARDIO) EXERCISE
Here are a few examples of cardio exercise:
brisk walking on a treadmill or outdoors
running on a treadmill or outdoors
rowing
cross-country苹果彩票 skiing
trampolining
nordic walking
aerobic dancing
In fact, any exercise, sport or activity that increases your heart
and respiration rate for a specific period is cardio exercise. It
is important to do cardio exercise at the right intensity. Cardio
exercise ranges from mild to intense.
Unlike mild cardio, intense cardio must always be
brief.
Intense cardio exercises include running, interval training, and
graded exercise protocol.
Brisk walking is an example of mild cardio exercise.
Mild cardio exercises keep your maximum heart rate at about 60 to
65%. Intense cardio exercises involve a maximum heart rate that is
considerably higher (usually up to about 85% or even 90%).
In terms of burning fat during exercise, mild cardio is superior to
intense cardio. So, you might think that everyone should do mild
cardio exercise.
That is incorrect. Mild cardio exercises are not effective fat
burning exercises in the long-term.
WHY?
Well, they do actually burn more fat than intense cardio exercise.
Unfortunately, by doing them regularly, your body adapts to mild
cardio by storing fat during the recovery period until your next
mild cardio exercise session. This is bad. You want to burn fat not
store it!
Whereas, intense cardio burns more fat overall because it
stimulates more fat burning between intense cardio exercise
sessions.
In addition, because intense cardio is intense, it must be
brief, (whereas mild cardio is prolonged). By that, intense cardio
is great for people who are lazy, or do not like prolonged
exercise, or grow bored by it, or do not have the time.
Nonetheless, if you are new to exercise and wish to begin with mild
cardio such as brisk walking see the choice of plans at the bottom
of this answer, and then progress to intense cardio (see the
intense cardio plan at the bottom of this answer).
Whatever cardio you choose (mild or intense), choose a cardio
exercise that you dislike the least and that you will stick to
without giving up after the first week or so. Cardio exercise will
increase the amount of calories your body uses during and
immediately after exercise.
HOW TO BUILD MUSCLE AND BURN FAT, SUMMARY
So, the best way to build muscle and burn fat is to eat as outlined
in the earlier part of this answer, and combine cardio exercise
with weight/strength training. You can use this sustainable program
from now until your dotage. If you adopt it and make it habitual,
you are going to know how to build muscle and burn fat, like the
way you look, and love the way you feel!
Depending upon your current degree of fitness, I suggest two to
three intense cardio sessions per week. In particular, if you have
not been doing intense cardio exercise, I recommend starting with
GXP (see the Intense Cardio Plan 3 page link at the bottom of this
answer).
Even if you do twice weekly strength-training as well as intense
fitness exercise two or three times weekly, if you want to go
further it's also a good idea to go for a brisk walk once a week.
'Brisk' means 2 miles in 30 minutes, 3 miles in 45 minutes, or 4
miles in 60 minutes.
For weight loss or health, even if you start with mild
cardio that will be a great step forward, and then move on to
intense cardio exercise as soon as you are able.
Cardio exercise will increase the amount of calories your body uses
during and immediately after exercise. Weight/strength training
will add more muscle and muscle is you METABOLIC FURNACE that burns
calories 24 hours per day and not just when you are exercising.
(Don't worry you don't have to build huge muscle (unless you want
to.)
Moreover, in addition to adding muscle, weight/strength training
benefits your body in so many, many ways. One should never
underestimate the benefits of weight/strength training for optimum
health. Male of female, young or older, you are never too old to
benefit from some form of weight/strength training. The free
exercises and programs at the bottom of this answer are suitable
for males or females, beginners of more advanced, young or
old.
Therefore, when you combine weight/strength training with cardio
exercise you not only have the best answer for 'how to build muscle
and burn fat' you also have the best exercise answer for optimum
health.
(Incidentally, even people who cannot engage in cardio exercise
because of injuries, or specific health conditions, can usually
engage in some from of weight/strength training and, by that, enjoy
its many, many health benefits.)

Asked in Health, Hair, Head Lice
Is it better to dye your hair when it is clean or when it is dirty?

While there is some controversy about this question, it is a
fact that it takes longer for the chemicals to break through dirt
to perform the reaction desired. If the hair is not too dirty, the
dirt will help protect the scalp from the sometimes harsh reaction
to the skin. "Too dirty" is a relative term, and includes styling
products and processes.
If your hair has been washed within 3 days and you have not used
a whole can of hairspray on it, then you do not need to re-wash
your hair prior to coloring it. It will not affect the chemical
process.
They say when you're hair is dirty the hair color comes out
better. But maybe they mean by when you've put some products in
your hair or something, and haven't washed it in like a day or
so.
When its dirty! When you apply dye to the newly washed hair shaft
it WILL take BUT by washing it you have stripped it of all its
natural oils WHICH is better to have present on the hair in order
for the dye to adhere easier. If you've ever had your hair dyed at
a salon you'll have noticed that they NEVER EVER wash the hair
first, they just start applying it no matter WHAT dirt or products
have built up on it. So nevermind what the over-the-counter drug
store hair dye instructions recommend, DIRTY is better!!!
