If your SHBG levels are too high, it's possible that you are not eating enough protein. Talk to your doctor about the right amount of protein for you. The average adult should consume 0.8 g of protein for every kilogram of body weight . For example, if you weigh 165 lbs you should consume 60 grams of protein a day. Make sure that you consume healthy sources of protein. Too much protein is not good for your body, but you may require more protein if you exercise regularly. Make sure to talk to your doctor before making any major dietary changes. Drinking too much alcohol can cause your SHBG levels to rise. Binge drinking in particular can prevent you from lowering your levels. Moderate drinking guidelines allow for 1 drink per day for women, and up to 2 drinks per day for men. Examples of 1 drink include 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, and 1.5 ounces of distilled liquor, such as vodka. Too much caffeine can limit your ability to lower your SHBG levels. If you're enjoying too much coffee in the morning, you'll want to cut back. It is generally considered safe for adults to consume up to 400 mg of caffeine per day. That is the equivalent of about 4 cups of coffee. Consider drinking green tea instead of coffee in the morning. There is some debate about how carbohydrate consumption relates to your SHBG levels. Some recommend going low-carb, while others promote eating plenty of healthy carbs. It's a safe bet to assume that switching out simple carbs for more complex ones will benefit your health. Cut out carbs such as white rice, potatoes, and white bread. Look for high fiber low-glycemic index foods instead, such as quinoa, sweet potatoes, and whole-grain bread. Consult your doctor before making any drastic changes to your diet.

Pitching is really a series of movements that the pitcher does without thinking. The key to a great pitch is balance--without balance, your throw will more than likely be rather off kilter. To be most effective, try to maintain a consistent throwing angle for all of your pitches. Some pitchers throw more overhand throwing a curveball or dip to sidearm while throwing a slider. While this may give you better control or command or your pitch, it can easily tip off the batter as to what pitch you are throwing. Having a consistent arm angle keeps the batter guessing. Start off slow. Wrap ice around your arm and chest to slow down the buildup of lactic acid (the buildup of lactic acid causes soreness). Run for 30 minutes after you pitch. This will get your blood circulating and help push out the lactic acid that might form in your arm.

One-sentence summary -- Remember to stay balanced. Try to be consistent. Keep your pitching arm from getting too sore.

Fill a large metal pot or other heat-proof container with 12 litres (0.260.53USgal) of tap water. Heat the water on your stovetop range until it's boiling. Keep the water on medium-high heat so it maintains a steady, rolling boil throughout the dyeing process. If you plan on using 2 colors of dye, boil 2 large pots of water. If you're only using 1 color, you only need to boil 1 large pot of water. Select a container that is large and durable enough to withstand the heat of boiling water. An old kitchen pot that the family is no longer using is a good option. Once the water is at a smooth, rolling boil, open your container(s) of lacrosse-head dye. Dump a full container into each of the pots of water. Stir the dye and water mixture with a wooden spoon to make sure the color is evenly diluted throughout the water. If you've dyed lacrosse heads before this, you can experiment with the color dilution a little. For example, if you want 1 of the 2 colors you're using to be lighter than the other, only pour 1/2 of the liquid dye into the pot of boiling water. Keep in mind that the spoon you use will probably end up dyed after you stir the dye and water mixture! Pick up the lacrosse head with a pair of kitchen tongs so you won't risk burning your fingers. Lower the lacrosse head into the boiling water and dye mixture, and leave it in the water for at least 20 seconds. Lift the head out of the water once the 20-30 seconds have passed, and let it drip dry for about 10 seconds. If you'd like the head to have a dark color, leave the head in the dye for longertry 30 seconds for a very dark hue. Don't let the lacrosse head rest against the hot bottom of the pot, or you'll risk melting the head. Grasp the head with the tongs the entire time it's in the dye. The dye will not change the color of the webbing spray that you applied earlier, if you chose to create a marbling effect on the head.
