Whay is the cardiovascular system so important to physical fitness?


Whay is the cardiovascular system so important to physical fitness? what would make it more important than the other systems.... i have to debate in why I believe its more important… I need some good ideas
----------

Um well lol, the biggest arguement is that every other system in the body relies on the cardiovascular system. The heart delivers blood and oxygen to the entire body. Having that means that the muscles get more blood/oxygen to grow stronger and can be used more efficiently in the workout. It means the body can recover quicker too. A healthy cardiovascular system can increase the body's VO2max as well which means the body has an increased level of physicall fitness too.  (+ info)

How much daily cardiovascular exercise is really enough?


I've heard that now they average American needs to have 60-90 minutes of cardiovascular exercise--as opposed to the old 30 minutes/day minimum. What's best?
----------

Do what you can with what you have.
If you want to do more, then go for it.
If you do 30 per day x 3 days per week and it feels like you're not getting the health you desire, then you can always do more.
Here are some good ideas:
1. Do something that gets your heart rate up a bit like, walking, running, biking, and swimming.
2. Eat Whole, Organic foods like: Broccoli, Cabbage, Organic Brown Rice, Beans, Spinach, Sweet Potato, Apples, and other fruits and vegetables in their Natural State.
3. Avoid eating corn, white bread, white rice, white potatoes, candy, sodas, chips, and anything else that you already know you shouldn’t be eating.
4. Drink clean water as your beverage of choice. Avoid Fruit drinks and fruit juices (unless YOU juice them yourself)
5. Stop smoking, drinking beer & wine, and drinking coffee.
6. Get 8 hours of sleep each night.
7. Hang out with people who want to be healthy.
8. Avoid anything with High Fructose Corn Syrup.
9. Look into taking a multi-vitamin.

Tone up the muscles:

1. Join a gym and get a trainer.
2. If you’re short on cash, start a light stretching & yoga regimen.
3. Do push-ups, and light dumbbell curls for the upper body.
4. As I said above, walk, run, swim, and or bike
5. Take an aerobics class, a yoga class, or some other fitness class.
6. Join the local YMCA.
7. Buy or borrow this book by Bill Pearl called GETTING STRONGER.
In the book, he describes everything you need for a great fitness plan.
8. Crunches & Curl ups for the abs.


Mental Health:

1. Get a friend to talk to each day about your feelings.
2. If you have some money or insurance, get a counselor to talk to.
3. Learn how to meditate.
4. Join a support group for the issue you’re dealing with.
5. Ask your Higher Self (or God) for guidance.
6. Start keeping a diary or journal about your feelings & thoughts.
7. Write a ‘gratitude’ list every night.
8. Do something that makes you happy each day like: listen to your favorite music, draw, paint, write, or anything creative.
9. Do something for someone else who needs help.
10. If the above suggestions don't improve your mental health, talk with your therapist about the possibility of taking some medication.
11. Check out the book FEELING GOOD by David Burns.

How can I stop getting infections and viruses due to bodybuilding?


I've recently started heavy weight training sessions in the gym but keep getting infections like flu and chest infections.

My weight training sessions are intense and I also do intense interval cardio on alternate days. My goal is weight gain and big muscles.

What can I take to help keep my immune system strong?
Thanks.
----------

I would scrutinize your supplements or diet, something isn't right. Do you eat sugar? If so stop. Use hand sanitizer at the gym.

I highly recommend taking liberal amounts of EsterC & marine betacarotene (algae - spirulina or dunaliella) taken 3x day for 6 weeks to build up your immune system, you can then take once or twice a day thereafter for maintenance.  (+ info)

What are the benefits of jogging or doing other cardiovascular activities?

You gain speed and endurance to help you run faster. By running you stretch out your legs to help avoid injury. By working out you build muscle mas which ultimately helps stress athletic standers farther.  (+ info)

Besides a yeast infection, you can get a bacterial infection without having sex.

Different types of infections:

Signs of yeast infections:
White, cottage cheese-like discharge
Swelling and pain around the vulva
Intense itching

Signs of bacterial vaginosis:
A white, gray or yellowish vaginal discharge
A fishy odor that is strongest after sex or after washing with soap
Itching or burning
Slight redness and swelling of the vagina or vulva

Signs of trichomoniasis
A watery, yellowish or greenish bubbly discharge
An unpleasant odor
Pain and itching when urinating
Most apparent after your period
(there is some discussion about getting it from remaining in a wet bathing suit)  (+ info)

How can infections become so resistant to antibiotics?


I recently found out that the bladder infection I had that rose up into my kidneys was resistant to more than 8 types of antibiotics, hence the kidneys getting affected when penicillin was doing nothing for my bladder. I am now have IV treatment on an antibiotic they hope will rid it after 2 weeks of pain. How can infections become so resistant that they avoid 8 types of Antibiotic?
----------

Bacteria become resistant to antibiotics by being exposed to levels of antibiotics that do not kill them. Once they have survived exposure, they can pass on their resistance.

There are three main ways in which this can happen:
Prescribing too low a dose.
The patient not completing the full course.
Antibiotics used in farming to boost meat, milk or egg production.

Of these, the third is probably the most common cause of resistance.

The young lady above me (if you'll pardon the expression!) has it exactly right.

Best wishes for a quick and complete recovery.  (+ info)

How many ear infections before tubes go in?


I know a common procedure done for kids with a lot of ear infections is putting tubes in the ears. I myself had this done. Gracee has had 3 ear infections in the last 3 months. When do they determine if tubes are needed?
----------

My daughter had a 3 ear infections all within a few months as well but that was when she was under the age of 1. We went to a specialist and he say no need to look into tubes, yet. She hasnt had an ear infection since she was 10 months old, 7 months now without one. I wouldnt jump the gun yet but would most certainly take her to an ear nose and throat pediatric specialist and get their opinion.

Good luck!  (+ info)
