What kind of exercise will reduce or stop height growth?
This is a common myth doing the rounds of gyms for a long time!! But look at Arnold, Jay Cutler, Ronnie Coleman, Phil Heath, Kai Greene…. they are all world renowned professional body builders who started young but are not dwarfs/have stunted growth.The human height is primarily influenced by genetics; That’s right, your family traits has a lot of say :D So if your family is known for average height, chances are high that you may end up with the same BUT you can always improve your chances by eating right, doing exercises (Cycling/ pull ups, etc), good rest, etc.The other important thing responsible for height, is the HGH (Human growth hormone). Our Pituitary gland secretes this, more of it…leads to Gigantism, less of it…leads to Dwarfism! Its primarily secreted during periods of rest, hence adequate sleep is so important. If required, the HGH can be administered by a medical practitioner as well.There are a few research that have proved that anabolic steroids, drugs, cigarettes, alcohol have negative effects on your growth. However, no study or research has conclusively proved that workout has any negative effect on your growth.Squats, Military presses are not going to harm your height. Any exercise, if done with the right form, will only lead to better health and fitness.Hit the gym, use correct form, don’t be under peer pressure to lift heavy!!
How can I get my puppy to stop resisting when we put her harness on her?
When you want to put something on the dog to wear, introduce the item in a calm, and confident manner. Take the harness and just caress her body with it, slowly slip it on, but don't fasten it, while giving a piece of food, then slip it off again. Do this a few times until she pays no attention to the harness. What ever you are doing now is scaring her, and to protect herself, she nips. The dog will not trust you, when you just, arbitrarily, put something on her with out an introduction that shows her that the device won't harm her. You have to show her the "tool" means calmness. And you must stay calm, and confident during the exercise, she will feel your energy, Verbalize nothing, make the conversation in your mind. Like "relax, the harness means no harm". Mental positive reinforcement goes a long way.

you are killing yourself and any results you may get with this will certainly not last.

How do I resist food cravings? Is it better to just surrender in the first place so I don’t munch all day, or does anyone have a better suggestion? I have very little self-control, so just telling me to use will-power won't help.
Resisting sugary foods like donuts, cakes, pastries, or even foods like chips, pizzas and burgers is like:“Standing at the edge of the cliff and hoping gravity won’t pull you down”You cannot resist cravings, you will-power is not enough.Thats us, and that how physiologically we are tuned.Now, what you can do is have a plan, or a strategy in place that can help you with this issue, that we all face.Increase the protein and fat content in your meals: Numerous studies support the fact that protein as a macronutrient has an increased satiety effect. What it means that it gives you that feeling of fullness when compared with carbohydrates.Including healthy fats slows down the gastric emptying allowing you to keep full longer.For example, when I eat this as my breakfast I don't feel hunger or have any cravings for at least 5–6 hours:Take a multivitamin: Our produce (the food that we eat today), comes from factory farms, where soil is depleted of nutrients, and as a result we are not getting enough vitamins and minerals our body requires to function effectively.CRAVINGS IS YOUR BODY’S CRY FOR A MISSING NUTRIENT(S) THAT IT NEEDS TO FUNCTION EFFECTIVELY.Drink water: Instead of reaching out for sugary snack, pause and force yourself to drink water. This may alleviate your craving for sometime, may be you buy some time and get yourself out of the situation and probably will forget that you had craving.Happened with me many times:)Clear up your kitchen and fridge: This one is the mOST IMPORTANT. If you see it, you’ll eat it. But if only see fruits, and vegetables, and healthy food items whenever you open your fridge or kitchen cabinets, over time you start to cherish these real foods and your cravings will definitely reduce.Sleep early and enough: Lack of sleep disrupts our weight regulation cycle and increases our cravings. So ideally sleep before 11am and get at least 7–8 hours of undisturbed sleep.Carry healthy snacks with you: When you don't have any healthy alternatives, you will end up eating donuts, or waffles. But if you have a Quest bar, or a fruit or nuts, or coconut water in your carry bag, you can eat that and keep yourself satisfied.Do these things long time, and cravings will be a thing of past.Note: It not possible to eat clean 100% of the time. Even though I have a six pack, I still eat 100–200 calories everyday from cakes, muffins etc. You just cannot resist can you. But limiting this amount, ensures that you stay on track 90% of the time.
