Answer: We all have them. 10 pm hits and we want that pizza, we're stress-eating because of work or a relationship, or we're super tired in the morning and pound that full-fat latte. What's your fix? Your guilty pleasures? What beats down on your self-control until you can't not cave to the temptations? If you know what gets your appetite out of control, you can avoid it. What are your food traps? The most common food traps are eating when we're bored or stressed. If you can be mindful of when you're eating and why, that's half the battle. If you know this is an issue for you, why not start keeping a food journal? In other words, don't stock the candies, refined grains, and other villains in the house. When they're not there, you won't eat them! You'll be forced to eat what you have available -- and you'll start craving what's there. Remove the temptation and you remove the bad choices. Don't just stick to good foods. You want to think of the drinks, too. All too often we drink away those calories, not realizing that it counts just as much as food, even though we're not full. Keep the soda to a minimum and concentrate on water and tea. " In other words, make every day a chance to find small opportunities to live healthier. Take the stairs. Park far away. Wash your own car. Remodel the kitchen yourself. Take your work lunch for a walk. 5 minutes here and there can really make the difference! And once you get used to staying "active" on a normal basis, that urge to feel lazy will go away. You'll no longer groan at the idea of tending the garden or organizing your shelves. Getting up and getting things done is just par for your healthy, lively course. This packs a powerful punch: not only will you be saving money, but you'll be saving calories, portion sizes, and knowing exactly what goes into every bite. You'll also be removing temptation from ordering that drink, appetizer, and dessert. And did we mention the whole being-able-to-cook thing? Arm yourself with a dozen or so healthy recipes. When cooking healthy is easy and delicious, you'll find that you make no excuses to do it. You'll be able to bang out dinner in no time flat and you'll be honing your skills! . Not only will it make you happier and more content with your life if you're relaxed, but you'll have more control over your health, too. Higher cortisol levels knock the rest of your hormones off balance and it all leads to making poorer life choices. Feeling lazy, exercising less, and opting for Chinese take-out over cooking a healthy dinner, to name a few. Take this as an excuse to have "me" time! If you haven't gotten on the meditation or yoga bandwagon, give one or both a try. Just 15 minutes a day can make the other 1425 minutes in your day infinitely better.

Answer: If the sleep study confirms you have sleep apnea, the doctor will document the diagnosis, and you will have your official record of a positive diagnosis of sleep apnea. Follow your doctor's instructions for treating your sleep apnea. Your doctor may prescribe either a continuous positive airway pressure or bilevel positive airway pressure (CPAP or BiPAP), device to help regulate your breathing. You will need to wear this device every night to help regulate your breathing while you sleep. Your doctor may also make other recommendations about your lifestyle that may eliminate or at least lessen the symptoms of your sleep apnea. It is very important that you follow the instructions and use the CPAP or BiPAP machine every night or at least five nights out of the week. The C-PAP is not only to help treat your diagnosis, but to ease the symptoms and suffering caused by this serious condition. It is vitally important not to ignore symptoms of sleep apnea and seek confirmation and treatment. If left untreated, the symptoms become worse, and the risk of developing additional serious physical ailments increase, and the higher the chances of putting your physical health and well-being at risk. If left untreated long enough, it can be even be fatal. Be assured that sleep apnea is easily treatable, and with proper diet and exercise in addition to the disciplined use of the CPAP machine, your symptoms and suffering will begin to lesson, more and more. Within a year, it is very possible you may be symptom-free and healed of the disorder. Your doctor will re-test you at the end of the treatment period to determine if the disorder is still present, and the majority of cases where treatment was followed consistently, the test will confirm you no longer suffer from sleep apnea. Since excess weight may be the cause of your sleep apnea, losing even a little weight may help to treat your sleep apnea. Make sure that you seek your doctor's advice before beginning a weight loss program and follow your doctor's recommendations for healthy weight loss. Obstructive sleep apnea symptoms may improve by getting 30 minutes of moderate activity each day. Try walking at a comfortable pace for 30 minutes per day to start and slowly increase your activity level as tolerated. These chemicals interfere with your breathing patterns by relaxing your throat. By decreasing or eliminating your intake of these chemicals, you may see an improvement in your sleep apnea symptoms. Make sure that you talk to your doctor before stopping any prescription medications. Smoking increases fluid retention in your throat and upper airways and increases inflammation in the same areas. These effects can make obstructive sleep apnea much worse. Talk to your doctor to get help as well as information on smoking cessation programs in your area. Sleeping on your side or stomach will lessen or eliminate the symptoms of sleep apnea. When you sleep on your back, your tongue and soft palate are more likely to block your airway and cause sleep apneas. Try placing pillows behind you or sew a tennis ball into the back of your pajama top to prevent yourself from rolling over onto your back. For some people, using a nasal spray or allergy medicine can help keep your nasal passages open at night, allowing you breathe more easily. Talk with your doctor about whether this is a good option for you.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Do bridges. Incorporate squats. Try doing lunges. Try side leg raises.

Answer:
There are a variety of strength training exercises that can help build mass and define both your butt and hips. The bridge exercise or butt lift is a great exercise to include that will recruit both your butt and hip muscles. Lay down on your back to start this exercise. Keep arms flat on the floor beside you and bend your knees into a 90 degree angle. Your feet should be flat on the floor. With your knees bent, press your pelvis up in the air pushing upwards with your glutes. Stop when your back is in a straight line. Hold this position for as long as you can. Slowly lower your butt back down to the ground and repeat this exercise a few more times. Squats are a classic exercise that can help tone your entire lower body. However, squats specifically recruit your glutes and hip muscles. Plus, with a few variations, you can really hone in on your hips. Stand with your feet shoulder width apart and toes facing out at a 45 degree angle from your body. Squat deeply with your knees, keeping your back straight. Dip down until your thighs are almost parallel to the floor. Your butt should be pushed back out behind you. Hold your squat here for a few seconds and then push yourself back up to the standing position. Try to push using your glute muscles. To make squats more challenging, hold two dumbbells (one in each hand) or hold a barbell over your shoulders. To target your hips even more, add a side leg raise. When you come back up to your standing position, extend one leg straight out to the side. Alternate sides with each squat. Like squats, lunges are a classic move that target your butt and hips. The need to help you balance and be stable really requires strength from your hips. Stand up straight with your feet about hip width apart. While holding weights, step forward with your right leg about 3-4 feet. Dip down so that your right knee bends forward and your left leg knee drops to the floor. Lower down until your right thigh is parallel to the floor. Push back up to the starting position. Make sure to push back up with your right leg - not your left leg. Repeat on the other side and do about 8 lunges per side. A variation of lunges that can help target the hips in a different way are side lunges. Instead of stepping forward, step outwards to the side. Alternate between both legs. One particular exercise that really targets your hip muscles are side leg raises. Incorporate this exercise in addition to lunges, squats and bridges. Lay down on the floor your right side. Place your right arm so that your hand cradles your head and your upper arm is flat on the ground. Your left hand can rest on your hip or the ground in front of you. While tightening your abdominal muscles, slowly lift your left leg up into the air. Keep your leg perfectly straight and your toes flexed. Lift your leg as high as you can comfortably. Hold your leg in this position for a few seconds and then slowly lower back down. Repeat this move 8-10 times on the right leg. Then, roll over and repeat the same exercise on the right side.
