Physiology & Medicine / Why have I recently started experiencing extremely salty sweat?

« on: 29/08/2012 22:50:24 »

I have been a very fit and active person for my whole life (almost 19 years now). In that time I have ran 2,000+ miles of which some where sprints, regular paced runs, and marathons. I have also done many triathlons and played soccer and basketball among other sports.

So, what I am wondering is Why, all of the sudden, I have extremely (I mean it taste like ocean water), salty sweat. I have occassionally had the irriated eyes from sweat getting in them, but never as bad as the last few runs where I'd just lick my lips and there was that much salt. These sweats have also been pretty intense, as in the amount for the work done and the temperature.

The temperature and humdity isn't any outrageous, 80 degrees and not very humid. I haven't been running as much as I would of like to be running while training for the next marathon, so you can say I am "a little out of shape" but I have been running this whole last month and the last two runs I just started noticing it. Luckily though I haven't had any sort of muscle issues. I have, though, noticed I can't run as fast, ex I did a 10k last week at a 6:35 pace, but all I can get myself to do on a 4-5 miler is 7:45+..

School has started back up again and I will admit to my sleeping and diet not being regular anymore. When I say my diet isn't regular anymore I am saying that I used to eat breakfast at 6am, lunch around 12 and supper around 6pm. But now that I am in school and have a classes 10-7:30, I haven't been eating supper until I get home say around 8:15. As far as sleeping, only been getting 6 instead of 8.

Needless to say, to combat this I have been drinking more sports drinks throughout the day than the water I normally drink.

Anything you guys got to help me figure this out would be awesome!
Thanks,

Physiology & Medicine / White vs Chocolate Milk for Recovery

« on: 20/03/2012 22:55:59 »

Hello TNS! It has been a long while!

I've been wondering the answer to this question, although I believe I know the answer, for quite sometime. Everyone seems to be all about drinking chocolate milk for recovery after physical activity. I strongly feel that people push chocolate milk because kids consider it tastier. My question is, is regular milk  just as good or does adding chocolate power EITHER/OR liquid actually add something beneficial.

Thanks in advance!

General Science / Why is the store bought frosting not freezing?

« on: 12/09/2011 23:15:23 »

My high school always had these homemade reeses we could purchase as extras for our lunch. Upon graduation I got the recipe and have made a few batches since. Each time I do as it says, melt icing in microwave spread over peanut butter mixture and freeze. They have been in the freezer for 48 hours and the topping is still sticky!

Is there any scientifical reasoning why?
What can I do so it does freeze?

Thanks in advance,

Just Chat! / Wait, who is "Simulated"?

« on: 09/07/2011 17:37:09 »

Hello TNS! It sure has been quite a long while since I have posted here. I have just be busy with everything life has thrown at me. I would love to share some stories, but there are some things that I must go get done. But, before I head out I just wanted to put this into your guys memory bank.

I am participating, well will participate if I gather the $650 dollars required of me, in a bike ride to end cancer called the Pelotonia. The website has lots of information about the ride and what not. The best thing is 100% of every dollar raised goes directly to cancer research as the Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center.

Here's my Pelotonia page. http://www.mypelotonia.org/riders_profile....MemberID=133684 and this is what it says

"Hello and welcome to my Pelotonia page!

My name is Ryan Kraner, I'm 17 years old and I am beginning my college career at the Ohio State University Lima Campus in September, which is how I got connected to such a great event called the Pelotonia. As the website states, "Pelotonia is a grassroots bike tour with one goal: to end cancer. 100% of every dollar raised goes directly to cancer research as the Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center."

Around 4 months ago I got a letter from the United States Air Force Academy saying that I wasn't going to offered an appointment to the Academy. That news really hurt me. I was extremely upset that I wouldn't be able to do what I really wanted to, but through the last 4 months I've opened my eyes even more then I have ever had them opened in the past. It could have been worse, I could gotten into a car accident, any number of things, or maybe I could of gotten diagnosed with cancer. I have set out to take what I have been handed and make the best of it, which is exactly what I'm doing here. I'm working to help those who got more disappointing news then they weren't accepted to where they would like to go to college.

I would appreciate any donation you can help me gather for those who are in desperate need for a cure for this life altering disease. 1/2 males and 1/3 females will be diagnosed with caner, so think of this as an insurance policy incase one day the doctor tells you you've got cancer, but it's curable thanks to your efforts in the past!

Thank you so very much!!"

Any donation you could make would awesome!
I'll be sure to stop by here a little more often and say hello =)

Thanks!

Geek Speak / How can I hide all of one file type?

« on: 04/06/2010 23:03:22 »

I have these annoying .modd and .moff files from a video editor and video organizer thingy that I want to hide. That way everytime I go into the folder to look for videos I don't see 2 useless files for every video.
I know how to hide one at a time. There has to be a way to do it on a massive scale.
Thanks in advance.

Geek Speak / Is there anything I can do about this other than buy a new card?

« on: 29/06/2009 20:36:30 »

I have a SD card for my video camera, it doesn't read it from the camera so I have to pull it out everytime I want to move videos from it and put it in a reader (which is kind of dumb because it reads the 2gb one) but anyways, because i've been doing that for a year now it got to the point where it has lines on the metal part from the taking it in and out all the time. it won't read it in the reader, it says it needs to be formated, but if i do it i'll lose everything and i have some stuff i need off of it. and it won't even recognize it in the camera anymore.
is there anything I can do to make it work?

Physiology & Medicine / How can I stop thinking so I can get to sleep faster?

« on: 21/06/2009 04:05:42 »

When I go to bed I lay there for atleast 45 minutes sometimes up to 2 hours not able to fall asleep, (I don't know how people can just hit the pillow and fall asleep, I can't even do that if I'm super tired) I'm pretty sure it's because I can't stop thinking. It's either a song, or the day, or what's to come, anything. And I can't get to sleep, it kind of stinks. Any suggestions for me to try so I can fall asleep faster.

Physiology & Medicine / Why do I sweat more when I stop running then while running?

« on: 21/06/2009 03:59:24 »

Since it has been getting hotter I've noticed that I don't sweat much while I'm running, but once I stop the sweat just comes out in buckets.
Is this because while I'm running the sweat is evaporating off of me that fast and when I'm stopped it doesn't evaporate?
Thanks

Geek Speak / 1.8 GHz Quad-Core or 2.6GHz Dual-Core?

« on: 10/06/2009 00:05:43 »

For a game I'm thinking about purchasing it needs this
2.4 GHz P4 processor or equivalent
Would a 1.8 quad be equivalent? I hear that quad is great for gaming
But, a 2.6 dual would work just fine right?

I'm sorta leaning to the computer that has the 2.6 because its graphics card is listed under the requirments and its 100 dollars cheaper even though it has 1 gb ram and 140 gb harddrive less, but its still way better than the one i have now

Thanks

Geek Speak / How can I get my laptop to stop running disk check when it starts up?

« on: 03/06/2009 12:29:02 »

Our monitor for the desktop broke a few days ago, so I had to break out the old laptop that hasn't been used in awhile. I started it up and it said something about having the wrong programming and pressing f2 to continue or f1 for programming, something like that I can't recall. It hasn't done that in awhile so. But right after that it says windows has schudeled a disk check. I let it do it once. Once it got done the computer seemed to be running alright, just really slow because its old and only has 128 mb ram and the clock said it was 2003, but oh well I can fix that.

When I shut the computer off it goes back to that disk check thing, I just press a key to cancel it. I went to the scuhdeled task to see why it was doing it and it didn't say anything about running it.

I guess its no big deal, but anyone know how to get it to stop doing it? Thanks

Any suggestions? thanks

Physiology & Medicine / Is running in the cold winter weather bad for you?

« on: 28/02/2009 04:17:05 »

I've ran all fall, winter, and the start of spring (well its been spring like weather). I've ran on lots of snowy, icy, cold days. Temperatues 10-40 degrees. Ran about 3 times a week and 2-5 miles each time. I've been told by some people that that isn't good for my lungs since there is less 02 in the air because its thinner. I never pushed myself to hard. I always thought that if you could get your lungs to function with less 02 you'd be better off because when its warms up you'd be able to move that much air.

So, I guess if I'm asking. Does it hurt your lungs to run in cold air? How does it hurt them? or is it actually good to run in cold weather?

Thanks

Physiology & Medicine / Is my finger gonna be okay? *Frostbite?*

« on: 15/01/2009 23:24:03 »

I was outside today for a couple hours. It's been 0 degrees f all day. I came in and my thumb didn't have much red color to it, and it was rock hard, like you coudln't press it and move it at all. So, I put it in some water for awhile then took a shower. It seems to be okay now, Its starting to get color back, I can feel the blood rushing back into it. As long as I keep it warm do you think it'll start getting worse?
It's bigger then my other thumb.. not much, but i can tell its bigger..
help..
