How can you get stretch marks when you lose weight?

Filed under Stretch Marks

I read an article about how, if you lose weight rapidly, you can develop stretch marks. I don't quite understand how this can happen. But then again I don't know much about how stretch marks are formed. Can someone tell me in the simplest (yet accurate) way possible how rapid weight loss can give you stretch marks?

How to choose a sandal or shoe for ankle instability and/or arthritis?

September 2, 2010 by admin  
Filed under Arthritis

I've got some arthritis in my ankles, my ankle gets swollen sometimes and the podiatrist said it's from instability.. I'm trying to figure out what kind of shoe or sandal do I need in order to accommodate this problem?
I'm guessing nothing that "wobbles" but what else should I look for?

Filed under Incontinence

I was wondering if some one coudl explain to me how vaginal child birth disrupts the bladder and causes stress incontinence in women ? Also, does it happen if a woman has a c-section ? And, if natural child birth (vagina) causes al these problems for women, why recommend it instead of a c-section ?

How can I get rid of white stretch marks?

September 2, 2010 by admin  
Filed under Stretch Marks

I have stretch marks on my inner thighs and knees that unfortunately turned white before I could use cocoa butter or another stretch mark cream to make them go away. Such treatments have worked on some of my newer stretch marks (which were still pink/red when I noticed them) but even after weeks of use, they have not shown any improvement on the older, white stretch marks.
What can I use to get rid of these stretch marks for good?

How do copper bracelets work for arthritis, and does your skin absorb the copper?

September 1, 2010 by admin  
Filed under Arthritis

A friend is wearing a copper bracelet, which he says helps his arthritis. I think this is fine, but I wonder how much copper his skin is absorbing, and is there a toxic effect in the long term?
It turns his wrist a bit green.

Also, how does this idea work? Is there a chemical reaction in the body? Or, if it's all in your mind, isn't it still effective since the pain is gone, for whatever reason?
