what to take
i recently started working out daily. i also started taking phedra cut, cla and whey powder. will these affect my health adversely or should i continue?
hi kevin<br/><br/>they may well have harmful effects, yes. no one really knows, because they're never studied properly, and so the long term study to prove that they're safe is a non existent one. there is some evidence that they may be risky, especially phedra cut, because of the stimulatnt effect on the heart, and so i don't know that it justifies the risk. the problem is that there's no evidence that they work either. or that you need them. fact of the matter is that you don't need them now. you've just started out with your trianing and rather than waste money on these products (with some risks), i'd encourage you to make sure your diet is good and that you're training well. supplements are not part of the answer - diet is. so rather spend that money on the diet, by seeing a dietician.<br/><br/>good luck<br/>
both products can affect your kidneys. use either up to 3,000mg of tylenol or 1500 mg/day of naproxyn (naprosyn) sodium ( aleve). 7-10 days is a good beginning duration and have your pcp do blood and urine testing to check your kidney function. see more... @ballsortahard thanks for sharing this story! would you be able to share the specific exercises that were recommended for you? no sweat is not cardio, cardio is the heart and muscles working. sweat is good but you need to try say jogging two miles in that hour or make it a good distance as well as time and no matter what try to eat a little something or else you will lose muscle and not weight. if your doctor has suggested than yes... and it's very important, keep taking the medicines eat a well balanced diet. eating more, smaller meals instead of 3 big meals can help. exercise more-depending on what you have or if you go to a gym. you could always run on a treadmill, the eliptical machines are good. core secrets by gunnar peterson (he works with a lot of celebrities) is a good workout system hi dear! its wonderful to knw that you have started planning fr a baby, as u hv mentioned ur periods r regular yes its important to hv regular cycle but apart from that thr r a few things which needs to considered like your health- its not only the woman health but the mans health too is important for a healthy baby , you need to ensure it by sticking to a good diet, maintaining a healthy diet. there are few food which boosts fertility like milk, cheese, yogurt, fatty fish, whole grains, eggs and loads of water and cut down on coffee, alcohol, processes food. secondly intercourse- it plays major role in planning a baby, you need to get intimate on the most fertile days of yours which is at your ovulation time, which is generally 11-16 days after your first day of your last period. keep yourself happy-healthy and without stress , enjoy a healthy conjugal life to welcome a healthy baby. all the best! rumourmongering notwithstanding, the answer is i don't know. 

i don't know how sophisticated the nhl's testing protocols are, and with the iihf opposed to the wada protocols of athletes having to provide their whereabouts on a 365-day basis (the ioc wants this, and team sport federations iihf, fiba, and fifa are all opposed), there are, potentially, opportunities.

with washington's roster, they will have several members of their team likely playing in the olympics, which has tougher testing standards than the nhl (among other things, a lot of otc cold medication will register a positive test).

i'm not sure about steroids. other ped's like hgh and epo, which help with recovery...without knowing how sophisticated the testing is, it's hard to answer the question.

i'll say this- "if" (and without factual evidence i don't like accusing someone of something) nhlers were to be using ped's, i'd say things like epo and hgh are the most likely options (given the rigours of their season and the marathon that is the playoffs). the league can, and should, test players throughout the season, including the playoffs.

with that being said...it's a joke what north american sports leagues punish drug cheats for when you compare the penalties outside of north america. roughly a suspension of 1/4 of a season in north america, while team sports (rugby, soccer) have 1-2 year bans for a first time offence. if the nfl, nba, mlb, and nhl were to be serious, a 2-year ban for a positive test would indicate a level of seriousness. osteoporosis treatments include the “basic cde’s” -- calcium(c), vitamin d (d), weight-bearing exercise (e), prevention of falls (f), and bone-friendly medicines. see more... beetroot and dates. i had it when my haemoglobin level went down during pregnancy. within few few weeks it was back to normal. 
have 2 dates and 2 beetroot (in any form) daily. only half of the hydroxycut (c. canephora robusta).
your digestive system may need to get accustomized to it. after a week, then advance to a full meal. best wishes.
