is exercising after a complete meal harmful ? Lets say like half an hour later . Obviously what most of us heard is exercising after a meal is the cause of appendix . But I heard from a dcortor that the cause of appendix is not realated . True ?

and is exercising at night a bad thing ?
*
food need about 8-12 hours from stomach to colon.

and how can exercising at night be a bad thing? unless it affects your ability to go to bed i don't see how it can affect you negatively

interesting topics! I have a question: Do our skin get firmer by ingesting collagen orally?

unlikely.....it will just be broken down and absorbed by the body as amino acids.......just like any other form of protein

okay let me rephrase my question. does drinking milk accelerates the growth of cancer? is milk bad for cancer patients?
*
patient will feel like crap with treatment like chemo/radiation.....no appetite and so on.
well.......if keeping patient alive is your concern, then giving the patient anything the patient wants to eat would be good, and hopefully the conventional treatment will kill the cancer 1st. .......

"does drinking milk accelerates the growth of cancer?"
i don't know. there's no conclusive data available.

Cancer cells feed of glucose (blood sugar).  Anything that raises your blood sugar too high will feed cancer cells.  This is quite a well known fact but most Doctors will still advise patients to go low fat, high carb as this is the nutritional wisdom that has caused so many problems in the first place.

Go ultra low carb, high protein, high animal fat, organic.

high animal fat?

Question: Is it true or is it a myth that some people can take certain diets (eg. high carbohydrates) and NOT get fat while some are more susceptible due to their BLOOD TYPES? I've heard many rumors that blood type governs the ability of the body to synthesize and metabolize certain food groups. Myth or Fact?

I got several questions guys.

Currently I am on a high calorie diet. More than 3000 kcal daily. The reason is that I am very thin.

My diet consists mainly of carbohydrates from rice, protein from meat and healthy fats (no added sugar peanut butter). I try my best to have as low as possible sugar intake which means my fruit intake is low too. I take multivitamin supplements and omega-3.

So the questions are:

1. Does healthy unsaturated fat cause harm when taken in large amount?

2. Does being thin means I have a healthy blood circulation?

3. Is my diet stated above unhealthy considering the amount or times I take them? I understand that in a 2000 calorie diet, my food intake are considered healthy or acceptable except for the rice.
*
1. everything cause harm when taken in large amount.
2. not necessarily
3. not enough information.

Good day, I hope this is the right place to ask.

I started weight lifting 3 years ago to lose weight, able to sleep better and helping out my family with heavy cores without trouble.

However my neighborhood gym is closed for whole Ramadhan, well not close entirely I believe and I assume they open after breaking fast.

However if they only open at night, I could not go cause dinner with family. My only free time is after 5 p.m. which is after work. Thus the only exercise I can do now is jogging.

Will I lose all of my strength if I do cardio (jogging) until after Hari Raya ?

thank you.

Definitely not all. You can do simple body weight exercise at home to maintain the muscle mass

Can doing planking alone help to get the 6-packs abs?
I read this from Get 6-packsa bs: No crunches necessary
How frequent should I do planking assuming I can hold the normal planking position for say like 45 seconds?

for muscles to be seen you will need to lose fat.....

to lose fat, you will need to work out...and have calorie deficit.

your body doesn't just lose fat from 1 area

i have question on supplement products..

now they said supplement products is not required for your body as you already have daily vitamin from foods. taking more supplement can cause harm to your body..

is it true? cause im taking b complex now and afraid to continue.
*
keyword : supplement

if you are not taking enough and unable to take enough, you supplement.

whether you are taking enough or not i don't know.

excess vitamin intake can cause problem, depending on the type of vitamin. have you read the label and the warning that come with it yet?
