Problem: Article: Diet is of course important for all around health, but when it comes to building muscle the most important aspect is protein intake. An average amount is 0.8 grams per pound of body weight. For example, if you are that 160 pound person, 160 x 0.8 = 128 grams of protein per day. That may seem like a lot but when you start adding it up you'll be surprised by how much protein you can find in vegetables, nuts, and seeds to supplement or replace your animal protein intake. There are many supplements as well but try to find one without artificial sweeteners. Protein shakes are more likely to be healthier than protein bars. One way to get your recommended daily protein is to supplement your diet with protein powders. You can use the powder to make delicious smoothies, shakes, or baked goods. Eating high-glycemic carbs (like white bread and pasta) can raise your blood sugar. This can contribute to weight gain and diabetes. Switch out high-glycemic carbs for low ones, such as those found in peanut butter or apples. There are both simple and complex carbohydrates. Simple carbs are made up of fewer sugar molecules than their complex counterparts. They are a quick source of energy, but are not providing your body with many nutrients or vitamins. These carbs include table sugar, jams, jellies, soft drinks, honey, and maple syrup. Complex carbohydrates provide essential minerals, vitamins, and proteins but also turn into glucose like simple carbs. Complex carbs are much better for you body and can be found in foods like peas, beans, vegetables, and whole grains. As our body ages, we lose bone mass and density. It may be beneficial to supplement your diet and exercise with vitamins (like calcium) that can replace what you are using. Always talk to your doctor before adding a supplement to your routine. They can be harmful to your health if taken in too high of dosage or may negatively impact a pre-existing condition. Your goal in gaining muscle is to develop a routine that will work for you. Popular diets go in and out of fashion because they are often not scientifically backed or proven. Avoid these diets by sticking to a medically approved diet and exercise routine.
Summary: Eat enough protein. Shake it up with protein powders. Eat the right kind of carbohydrates. Supplement with vitamins. Avoid fad diets.

Problem: Article: Adderall and Ritalin are among the most commonly abused prescription drugs, especially among students. Remember that you were prescribed this medicine for a reason, and that giving it or selling it to others is unethical and may put their health at serious risk. If you think that the dosage isn't strong enough, discuss this with your doctor over the phone or in person rather than taking more than directed.
Summary: Review whether your symptoms have improved and any side effects at your next appointment with your psychiatrist. Keep it to yourself. Always take medicine as directed by your doctor.

Problem: Article: You will need at least a ten to twenty gallon glass terrarium for your tree frog. This size can accommodate up to four frogs comfortably. Make sure that you have a properly fitting screen-top. This will ensure proper ventilation while keeping everything secure in your frog's habitat. Pet stores will often sell these terrariums. You will also be able to find them online. Remember the more frogs the larger the terrarium will have to be. The material lining the bottom of the cage is called a substrate. For your red-eyed tree frog, you should put down about two or three inches of non-fertilized potting soil. You can mix this soil with bed-a-beast bedding, orchid bark, coco coir, paper towels, or peat moss to give it more texture. The substrate should be scooped out and replaced every two to three months. Your frog will appreciate some items around the cage to climb and hide under. Find some natural, leafy looking furnishings to place in the cage. Make sure that these are non-toxic to prevent damage to your frog's sensitive skin. Coconut halves make great dens for the frogs. Leaves, driftwood, rocks, cork, and branches can give your frog something to climb and explore. You can put in both fake and living plants, but fake plants are easier to keep alive. During the day, the cage will need to be between 78 and 84 degrees F (25 and 28C). At night, the temperature can drop no more than ten degrees. If your room temperature is cooler than this, you may have to invest in heaters for your terrarium. There are several options for heating the terrarium: Low wattage heat bulbs can attach to the screen top. They provide enough heat without burning your frogs. Heat pads can rest beneath the cage. Look for ones specially designed for reptiles at your pet store. Be warned that if water touches the hot glass, it can crack the glass. Red or nocturnal bulbs can be left on all night to ensure around the clock warmth. Red-eyed tree frogs are nocturnal so extra lighting isn't necessarily. Bulbs would simply provide warmth.
Summary: Invest in a glass terrarium. Lay down a proper substrate. Furnish with leaves and natural decor. Keep the habitat warm.

Problem: Article: Place a cushion, blanket, or yoga mat beneath you to cushion your knees. You can cross the front of the one ankle over the back of the other (with feet pointing out to the sides) if that feels better. If kneeling doesn't feel good to you, take any other comfortable seated pose. Palms can be placed firmly against your knees with fingers splayed out. Draw breath through your nostrils until your lungs are full. Lengthen through the crown of your head and draw your shoulders back as you inhale to ensure your lungs are completely expanded. Close your eyes as you inhale. After you inhale, open your mouth wide as if you were at the dentist. Stick out your tongue and lengthen the tip out and down so that it extends towards your chin. For a more intense option, open your eyes wide at the same time that you open your mouth and bring your gaze upward. The breath should pass over the back of your throat and make a distinct "haaaa" sound. Imagine you are trying to fog up a window with your breath. You should feel the muscles in the front of your throat contract. Press down through your palms as you exhale. Since the exhalation of simhasana is meant to release negative energy, it is important that it remains powerful throughout your practice. Therefore, it is best to repeat Lion's Breath only a few times in a row so that you don't lose the strength behind the breath. If the strong exhalations make you feel at all dizzy, take a break from the pranayam and breathe normally for a few minutes. You can place one hand on your chest to help regulate your breath pace.
Summary:
Kneel on the floor, sitting back onto your heels. Inhale deeply through the nose. Open your mouth and stretch your tongue out. Exhale the breath slowly out through your mouth. Repeat 2-3 times.
