.... to handle lactic acid. It is imperative, if you want successes in today's highly competitive field of athletics to train your muscles, body and mind to accomplish gains in performance even in the presence of lactic acid. Coaches and athletes should design training programs with this being a primary focus. This is done by two basic components of training. Long Slow Distance (LSD) training beyond the normal racing distance, will develop tissue enzyme adaptations that will rely upon the use of free fatty acids for energy production, which will result in less lactic acid being produced. LS .....

.... you shift into a highly active stage characterized by rapid eye movements, hence the name REM sleep. Suddenly your brain waves are almost the same as if you were awake. You're in the dreaming stage, which occurs several times across the course of the night. Now, what happens when we're deprived of the restful sleep we need? We're less alert and attentive, more inclined to irritability and other mood problems. These emotional changes can cause our relationships with people to be difficult. Our concentration and judgment suffer, our ability to perform even simple tasks declines, and o .....

.... the world. The media today concentrates intensely on drug and alcohol abuse, homicides, AIDS and so on. What a lot of people are not realizing is that coronary heart disease actually accounts for about 80% of all sudden deaths. In fact, the number of deaths from heart disease approximately equals to the number of deaths from cancer, accidents, chronic lung disease, pneumonia and influenza, and others, COMBINED. One of the symptoms of coronary heart disease is angina pectoris. Unfortunately, a lot of people do not take it seriously, and thus not realizing that it may lead to other .....

.... state. I hope I am correct in saying that around the time of the seventeenth century, the society/state began to liberate itself from the church. Even still, sexual liberty was small, and a “non-ethical” (meaning non- conservative) discourse on sex was prohibited. This type of regard to sex was also true in the eighteenth century. By the nineteenth century, sexual propaganda was created and fed to the masses. One memorable time period that transformed society’s views on sex, was the feminist movement in the 60’s and 70’s. Sexual images were allowed to be seen outside .....

.... It is an incontrovertible fact of biological science - Make no Mistake - that from the moment of conception, a new human life has been created. Only those who allow their emotional passion to overide their knowledge, can deny it: only those who are irrational or ignorant of science, doubt that when a human sperm fertilizes a human ovum a new human being is created. A new human being who carries genes in its cells that make that human being uniquely different from any and other human being and yet, undeniably a member, as we all are, of the great human family. All the fetus needs to .....

.... a person's heart rate increases 15 to 25 beats per minute. Nicotine also causes the blood vessels to contract. People who smoke have a harder time keeping their hands and feet warm because their blood does not circulate as well as it does in non-smokers. When the heart rate increases and the blood vessels remain constricted for an extended period of time, ten or more years, arteries begin to close up. When an artery feeding blood to the heart closes up, the heart can no longer function. This results in a heart attack. Stress is another cause of heart attacks. The causes of st .....

.... say that humans are not aware of their own blindness. To prove this I'll be analyzing two books we read (Sphere & The Left Hand of Darkness) and a movie we saw (Enemy Mine) trying to see what kind of ideas each story shows about human nature. In a first place, Sphere tries to emphasize the idea that most of us tend to ignore our subconscious. We all had a fear, an idea or a dream that we don't want to talk about. Sometimes it could be strange thoughts that we had or something similar. We don't want to talk about them because they shock us and they make us feel uncomfortable. Often we .....

.... and lazy. At this point medicine and psychology begin to study the causes for people to have reduced attention spans. The studies of the disorder quickly lead to both chemical differences and genenic links observed in patients . ADHD, once called hyperkinesis or minimal brain dysfunction, is one of the most common mental disorders among children. It affects 3 to 5 percent of all children, perhaps as many as 2 million American children. Two to three times more boys than girls are affected. On the average, at least one child in every classroom in the United States needs help for the di .....

.... to the venous system exists, known as portal circulation. A certain amount of blood from the intestine is collected into the portal vein and carried to the liver. Coronary circulation is the means by which the heart tissues themselves are supplied with nutrients and oxygen and are freed of wastes. Just beyond the semiluna valves, two coronary arteries branch from the aorta. Heart action consists of systole and relaxation of the muscular walls of the atria and ventricles. During the period of relaxation, the blood flows from the veins into the two atria. This action is sudden and occ .....

.... 18 to begin smoking"(Breo). Researchers at the Medical College of Georgia report that almost as many 6-year olds recognize Joe Camel as know Mickey Mouse (Breo). That is very shocking information for any parent to hear. The industry denies that these symbols target people under 21 and claim that their advertising goal is simply to promote brand switching and loyalty. Many people disagree with this statement such as Illinois Rep. Richard Durbin who states " If we can reduce the number of young smokers, the tobacco companies will be in trouble and they know it "(Roberts). So what do th .....
