what is another word for vitamin toxicity?

admin — Wed, 12 May 2010 03:50:10 +0000

I took a health and nutrition class a few years back and remember reading about vitamins. The chapter talked about deficiencies and having too much. I’m trying to remember the word for too much. I don’t think it was toxicity, but they are synonymous.

Too much of one vitamin can cause toxicity, which is almost like poison. It’s an overdose.

Too much of a specific vitamin can put other vitamins out of balance.

I don’t know that I answer that right–oh–I know–if you take too much vitamin A, it’s called hypervitaminosis A. Hyper means too much. It could cause hypovitaminosis of another vitamin. Hypo means too little. It may not cause hypovitminosis of all your other vitamins, just the one it competes with. Vitamins have their own intricate balance.

It’s been years since I studied that, so hypervitminosis A may now be called Avitminosis. Hope I have you one the right track.

Vegan Health and Nutrition/Rules?

admin — Mon, 10 May 2010 03:26:00 +0000

Hi!
I am a new Vegan. I LOVE the lifestyle, don’t love the weakness and near passing out lol. I know this is just because I don’t know what I’m doing. Any experienced Vegans….what vitamins do you take? What supplements? And I’ve found some obscure rules (like no artificial food coloring) about Veganism I didn’t know, so could someone please summarize the rules for me, too?
Thank you!

The Vegan Jeweler

There aren’t really any "rules" to veganism other than trying your best not to use or eat products obtained from animals, and not participating in any activity that brings harm to animals.

"weakness and near passing out" is something I’ve never experienced during many years on a vegan diet, Are you eating enough food and drinking enough water in general? This is really something you should see a physician for as it could be related to your diet, but unrelated to veganism.

As for vitamins and supplements, if you’re eating a balanced diet, this isnt really something you need to worry about. Protein is literally found in every food. Iron is found in many vegetables, my favorite source is spinach. If you’re concerned about other nutrients search google with the term "Vegan sources of _______."

Really concerned about weight and health, please read?

admin — Thu, 29 Apr 2010 04:56:25 +0000

Okay so here is the thing. I am five foot eight, and weigh about, 116 pounds. I keep getting skinnier too, I have gone from a full size four to a two since college started in September. I am a terribly picky eater. I really can’t explain my food aversions, but it’s like I will gag if I try to eat a lot of different types of food. For example, I do not like sandwiches because uncooked meat reminds me of flesh…etc.

I am getting very worried about my health now. I am afraid I am malnourished and only getting worse. I am tired all day, and can barely stay awake sometimes, and very exhausted. I bruise so easily now, just from wearing a backpack I get severe back pain.

I try to eat healthy, but I live in dorms now and it’s really hard to do so. Between being a picky eater and having limited choice, I am forced to eat grilled cheese, salad, cereal, french fries, etc everyday. It has come down to just eating junk food to get calories from somewhere. But I am afraid of being unhealthy eating this way.

I don’t know what to do. I talked to a doctor once, and she started accusing me of having an eating disorder. This isn’t the case, I am not worried about my size I have always been thin, I am worried about my health. I tried to take vitamins, calcium and a one a day, but I just throw them up within an hour. I am just getting worse fatigue and skinnier.

Any suggestions? I tried eating a different variety, but I don’t have much choice. I am perfectly healthy, no infection or disease. I had my appendix burst in January, and it was an extremely long healing process. It just now finished healing. I think my immune system is weak from lack of nutrition.

Please help, I am afraid of having serious health problems because of my low weight and health.

GO TO YOUR DOCTOR! Seriously, you NEED to take a break from school, and close your eyes when eating new things. Don’t hold your nose, that’s total BS. Try some oriental food, like quality General Tso’s chicken, or start of with some fruit or a VERY fresh salad. Again, CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR!!!!

Would Majoring in Nutrition Turn Me Into a Health-Crazed Maniac?

admin — Mon, 19 Apr 2010 09:56:26 +0000

I want to major in Nutrition and then either become a nutritionist, teach about nutrition and food science, or most likely go into PA (physicians assistant school).
I’m afraid that after a while of studying nutrition I’ll turn into my mom and start nagging people about their food choices every meal and stay committed to soy, tofu, and omega tablets.
Is this an unjustifiable fear? To be honest, I want to study nutrition because I like learning about how the body digests and makes use of vitamins and minerals. I find that part interesting. I don’t necessarily care to learn about fad diets or learn how to eat healthy because I always thought to eat plenty of veggies, fruits, and less heavily processed foods and that has always been fine for me, since our bodies can actually handle some occasional crap foods 1-2 times a day.
I just don’t want to become a slave to healthy eating. So would majoring in Nutrition be a bad idea then? Are there any Nutrition majors who don’t nag about healthy eating?

It might turn you into a very opinionated, not necessarily correct, person nobody wants to listen to. It’s remarkable how a lot of these nutritionist types have a fairly poor grasp of their field – BUT – they do seem to be filled with lots of opinions.

The trouble is, American food is really really scary horrible – and you do hate to watch kids ruin their lives on the fast food rubbish. I’m sure it would be hard for you to keep your mouth shut.

Still – it would be a great major – certainly an important major – a major major, you might say.
