Im starting a health/nutrition website. What would you want to see on a site like this?

nutrition
Tim K asked:


I am starting a health/diet/nutrition/weight loss/exercise/etc website, because obesity is a growing problem in America and I want to help. I am a Biology major at Boston College and understand some of the biological aspects of nutrition and gaining fat. I have some ideas of what to put on the site, but if you were going to a website like this to try and lose weight/get in shape, what would you want? What would you want information on? Weight loss plans? Nutritional label reading guide? Incentives for losing weight? More information on metabolism and fat? Consequences of eating unhealthy food? Please give me any ideas that you have, and let me know if you think this would be a successful website.

What’s the nutrition bar with the highest calories?

nutrition
Dr. Dick asked:


Looking for a nutrition bar that provides the highest calories for a college student without a lunch break. In other words, the typical 240-270 calories per bar is not sufficient. Any suggestions?

Signs and Symptoms of Pancrease Cancer

There are many different pancrease cancer symptoms and signs. If you are experiencing an unexplained loss of weight that seems to be happening without even trying, that could be a sign that something is wrong. Your weight loss accompanied by a sudden loss of appetite and severe fatigue (possibly from anemia) should be cause for a red flag to go up. If you notice a yellow tinge in your skin tone, or yellowing in your eyes, that is a sign of jaundice. This yellowing may be very slight and difficult to notice, however, it is easier to see it in the white’s of your eyes, so make an appointment to see your physician if you notice any sort of discoloration. When the pancreas is enlarged and the cancer cells are attacking the organ, it can cause abdominal pain that seems to exude from your back. This pain can be moderate for a while and then extremely painful in later stages of the disease.

Never Too Late!

When I was growing up, my parents were always drinking excessively!  I used to sit and wonder why they had this Alcohol Addiction.  Its no wonder why I had to find out for myself just exactly what drinking alcohol did.  Unfortunately, I found that it ruined my life!  At the time, I had a great job, two awesome children and a wonderful husband.  Well, it wasn’t long before I lost it all!  Slowly but surely, my life started to deteriorate.  It took me almost seven years to recover, and even now I know I can never have another drink, ever!  Fortunately, I have my life back now!
