try fruit smoothie for breakfast... it really perks u up.... and u is less likely to fall to sleep in class.... avoid tuna, u can get mercury poisoning if u have it too often…. Try using dumbbells… eat more tomatoes it increases the number of little soldiers u have (hint, hint Ed)… avoid burgers they make u feel sluggish, try protein powder-that works.

Shabs I keep falling off my gym ball and each time I use it I feel dizzy :?

Dizzy?

Are you not used to exercise?

Well...you're not using it properly. Make your lower back is fully supported. Relax. Don't let the ball move while you're using it either. And don't use it fast-go slow.

How old are you?

my grandad is failry old.........but hes one healthy dude. no medication or special requirements like most old folks need....and thatz coz he kept a healthy diet all his life

he HAS to have his 2 roti's on time......otherwise thiers trouble

I am seriously unfit, teh problem with me is I work in season, in the summer i eat less and exercise more, winter i do nothing and eat loads, For the rest of the year i mix it up. Which isn't good for my body.

But it is a lifestyle question, because if you eating junk and are in a habit of eating it, it will catch up with you. It is best to get into the habit of eating bland food, in the long term it work best. Always carry a bottle of water with you. Also try to take in as much calories as you need for any 2-3 hours, thus avoiding big meals.

How on Earth does a person increase their physical stamina? You know...do strenous stuff without getting breathless.

Or should I get myself checked out for Asthma? :?

seriously in same positon.....i know im unfit but dont need to lose weight aswell, so i dont know how to go about that one aswell

as for you getting checked out for asthma i think you should go for it...its always better to get yourself checked out....maybe its in you family?

Yeh, my baby sister has it..

Does it run in the family?

I'll see the doctor this week. I think its been over ten years since I visited the docter. :?

GP's and hospitals are depressing places.

im not sure.....i thought it ran in the family, all i know its been passed through my generation..

muslim sister you must be kidding! u havent been to see a GP for over 10 years...? just dont ever make a mistake of not seeing your GP.Even though theres nothing wrong, you should go for a regular check-up.I say this because my dad hadent been for a long time so therefore didnt have much of a record,when he got really ill the hosplitals couldnt figure out what was wrong...they checked his old records and realised he hadent had blood pressure check for years and years...he had high blood pressure and it caused his kidneys to shrink....and not work

so yes please do visit your GP a.s.a.p

I used to have bad teeth aches too...I'd just lie on the sofa all day. I really cant hack pain.

And I remember using clove oil for relief. Thats the one with the strong smell isnt it?

It really does work.

yea its got an awful smell......the oil is quite strong aswell, its best to dilute it i believe....once i used it undiluted and it caused my gums to swell.

its best for toothaches.
