Best Fitness Tips

Create better Abs

Do not work your abs every day. "Physiologically, abs are like any other muscle in your body," says David Pearson, Ph.D., C.S.C.S. an exercise scientist at the University of Ball State. Train only 2 or 3 days a week.

Protect your neck

Put your tongue on the roof of the mouth when doing abs. "It will help align the head properly, which helps reduce neck strain," says Michael Mejia, C..S.C.S., Men's Health exercise advisor.

Keep Limber muscles

If you are under 40, hold your stretches for 30 seconds. If you are over 40, they hold for 60 seconds. When you reach age 40, your muscles become less flexible, so they need to be stretched longer.

Do not drop the ball

To catch a pop fly in the sun, use your glove to shade his eyes. It is bigger than his free hand and put the leather in the perfect position to hook the ball.

Grow muscle, save time

Keep your weight workouts under an hour. After 60 minutes, your body starts to produce more of the stress hormone cortisol, which can have a testosterone-blocking, the effect of muscle wasting.

Exercise in the Order

Use dumbbells, barbells and machines, in that order. "The muscles smaller stabilizers are used with weights fatigue before their larger muscle groups," says Charles Staley, a strength coach in Las Vegas. And progress to the machines, which require less help from the smaller muscles, as he grows tired.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) - a condition where the ovaries do not release an egg regularly (ovulate)
hypothalamic amenorrhea - where part of the brain that regulates the menstrual cycle stops working properly; this is thought to be caused by excessive exercise, excessive weight loss or stress
hyperprolactinemia - when a person has abnormally high levels of a hormone called prolactin in the blood
POF - where the ovaries stop functioning properly in women who have not yet reached the age of natural menopause (usually from age 50)

Treating a breast abscess

Treating a breast abscess

breast abscesses are often linked to mastitis - a condition that causes breast pain and swelling (inflammation), and usually affects women who are breastfeeding. Infections can occur during breastfeeding if the bacteria enter the breast tissue, or if the milk ducts (small tubes) blocked. This can cause mastitis which, if untreated,
can result in the formation of an abscess. Women who are not breastfeeding may also develop mastitis if bacteria enter the milk ducts through a sore or cracked nipple, or nipple piercing. White blood cells are sent to attack the infection, which causes the tissue at the site of infection to death. This creates a small hollow area that is filled with pus (abscess).
You will have to be drained a breast abscess. small breast abscesses can be drained through a needle and syringe. If the abscess is large, a small incision may be necessary to drain the pus. For both procedures, usually you will be given a local anesthetic to numb the skin around the abscess so it does not feel any pain or discomfort
