My dog ate my birth control. Will he have any effects?
You did the right thing by calling the vet. He may be a bit tired all the time for a day or two, but it is ok. My dog did something similar when he was about a year old. He ate an entire month supply of orthonovum. He was fine... and i did not have to worry about him getting pregnent for the month. ;-)
I always feel burdened because of few things and feel stress all the time. How can I reduce this burden?
Stress is a serious poison. It can affect anyone, at any time and under any circumstances. Stress does not only decrease the quality of life but also affects general health. Here are some techniques to get rid of stress naturally:Breathe: Whether you realize it or not, when you are under stress, your breathing pattern changes. In a calm state of being, a person would normally take deep slow breaths. But when stress emerges, breathing start being briefer and shallower. During a stressful situation, take 5 minutes to breathe deeply. Take a deep breath, bring the oxygen to your lungs, open your chest and then breath out, slowly releasing the air through your nose. Do it at least 10 times.Meditate: Meditation is a mental exercise in which one focuses on its breathing to reach spiritual awareness and relaxation. Meditation is very effective in reducing stress. It produces a state of deep relaxation and promotes emotion stability. It can also help you understand your inner thoughts or feelings.Connect with nature: Living in a city can be very stressful. The amount of noise, pollution, cars, and people are often a lot to process for our bodies. A really good way to release stress is to go for a walk and connect with nature. When walking in nature, be aware of the surrounding environment as well as your inner state of being. Pay attention to every sound you hear. Notice how your body feels and focus on taking deep breaths.Exercise: Exercising regularly has many health benefits, including a direct and positive influence on stress. When you exercise, your body releases endorphins which are known to provide a sense of well-being. Exercising also helps to relax the body and fall asleep more easily.Practice positive affirmations: Stress often goes hand in hand with negativity. We stress because we are afraid of failure and/or because we can’t control the future. It is important to let go and accept that we can’t always control everything. What we can control however is the way we think. Try to look at positive affirmations daily and as often as possible.If you want to learn 5 more powerful ways to reduce stress naturally, check my article:10 Simple and Effective Ways to Reduce Stress Naturally - Radiant Life Diary

Why do intellectual activities of any kind create stress or burden in my mind?
You’ve experienced the equivalent of a heavy workout while your “brain muscle” is as yet “unfit.” Everyone experiences that feeling when their mind has to do real work - at least early on. As time passes, your brain becomes better at working just as a muscle does when it’s being conditioned over a long enough period of time.It’s an unpleasant feeling. That’s why the majority come to avoid it by just not thinking. Which of course means they never get the pleasure of being able to take on problems and solve them with relative ease and without feeling what you describe.
Is whey protein good for health? What happens after I stop working out?
Whey protein is made out of milk and is healthy. What matters is the quantity of protein powder you take.You need to speak to a qualified dietician who will help you understand your requirement throughout the day basis your lifestyle and workout regimen.Basic protein requirement is around 0.8–1 g/ Kg body weight. And this requirement goes up once you start working out depending on intensity/weights you're lifting. Which becomes quite difficult to meet through diet. And hence, usually protein powders are recommended to match up with this increased requirement.Therefore, after you stop working out you need to also discontinue your protein powder. Because the excess protein without workout can harm your system.You can also watch this videoFeel free to reach out to us on www.health-hatch.com or Health Hatch for a personalized meal plan and health coaching program :)
Do energy drinks such as Powerade, Gatorade really help during workout or they are just electrolytes with sweeteners which add the additional burden of burning of the calories gained?
There is evidence that DILUTED energy drinks, such as Powerade or Gatorade, can help with sports performance if the event in question is either A. highly intense cardiovascular exercise orB. moderately intense cardiovascular exercise that last for >60 minutesThe electrolyte content of most sports drinks is too minuscule, I believe, to make any difference. Most people, including multiple olympic athletes, just get their electrolytes from food.
Why did Arnold Schwarzenegger stop working out and taking care of his body?
Arnold Schwarzenegger admitted that he took steroids in his prime. (Not that anyone really needed his admission as it was pretty obvious he was on some chemicals.)After he won a few big profile body building contests and became the best he continued working out and probably he did not quit steroids. His muscular appearance was important for his movie roles.In the meantime though, he got older and he became the governor of California. His focus was on politics and representing Californians. Probably he had less time to workout, he did not care much for steroids anymore and his natural testosterone level dropped with his age so he became “normal looking” for his age.As a compariosn look at Sylvester Stallone who probably kept taking PEDs and even in his old age he looks ripped and fit.
