What happens you eat to much Choleterol?

Well, if you eat way (ALOT OF) too much choleterol rich food, your blood vessels can clog up and not let blood get through. This can cause heart attacks, and many other things. Through people usally only die if a major blood vessel gets cloged up with enough 'plaq' (not like plaq on your teeth, but that's what its called when blood vessels get a choleterol build up.) to stop blood from passing through. You can help stop this from happening by eating low-in-fat food, (mainly saturated fats and trans fats will conjure into a choleterol build up) and to work out daily. If you ever were to have a blood vessel clog, you'll have slight/big and fast pains depending on where it is, (and if its a mojor or not) and it will eventuly lead up to a heart attack Ask your doctor about Choloeterol, build up, and plaq for more info.

Is 1 drop of semen equal to 100 drops of blood?

Yes this is true. According to Medical Science, only the best blood tissue is used to produce sperm cells which originate from the isles of Langerhans of the testis. It isn't the glands which directly produce sperm, rather they provide the molecules such as Androstenedione, and compounds belonging to cholesterols. therefore it is quite often misunderstood that blood has no sort of relation to testical glands, but research disproves that statement. Most choleterol and Androstenedione require huge amounts of minerals and nutrients to produce and blood cells are often no exception.There have been many electrical tests done on these isles where it has been concluded that much energy is lost during the sperm's dispersal. And it's also horrifying to know that it takes 100 days to make one sperm cell. The typical criticism against your statement would be that sperm is produced continuously, however that is not the case, since much energy (electromagnetic energy) of the body is used to make it, and is lost considerably when sperm are dispersed, i.e. when they are ejaculated out of the body. So if it took 3 days to make your sperm, after loss of energy it will take 6 days or more to make the same amount - And you would have to eat a lot more! And according to researchers, its not the quantity that matters; it's the quality. And quality can only be maintained if masturbation and sex are less frequent. And research also implies that celibates often are more joyful than people who have sex regularly and they have higher testosterone levels. This theory has been linked to testosterone being a vital ingredient in male strength, vitality, health, and intellect. Now more research is also underway to confirm the opinion that higher testosterone levels are linked to higher levels of happiness.


Can you eat bacon on the Atkins diet?

Depending on the stage you can eat different things. The first stage, which is the induction is the hardest specially for sweet lovers. You can have all types of meat or poultry, eggs, cheese, vegetables, olives, nuts, diet soda or juice and decaf cofee or tea. The point is not going ovber 20g of carbs a day. After this face you can start adding things such as small amount of berries and once you loose the weight tyou can mantain it by adding "good" carbs, such as whole wheat bread, brown rice etc. You do loose weight fast, specially in face one. You can even eat fried chicken since oil doesn't have nay carbs. However there are many riscks such as clogged arteries and high choleterol since there is no limit on the amount of oirl or fat you consume. I would suggest it as a quick fix if you can find the discipline to stick to it, but not a change of life style.On Atkins you can eat as much meat as you want, as well as salads. Stay away from potatoes, peas, beans, candy, sodas, and ice cream. While on Atkins diet, you want to try to eat as little carbohydrates as possible.
