Avatar f tn Every time researchers dig into this, they still come up the same place -- the societies with the healthiest, longest-lived, and least obese people eat a diet high in veggies, fruits, grains, and moderate amounts of animal protein. Americans in general eat pretty high protein diets to begin with, though the protein has traditionally been high fat pork and beef.

It always comes back to, eat lots of fruits and veggies, get your protein from legumes and food from the ocean, eat whole grains, and hope for the best. Peace, all.
Avatar f tn ayurveda uses some of these. Some plants can severely damage the liver, and easily kill someone, whether they has liver disease or not. If the topic fascinates you (it fascinates me) you can start with this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mushroom_poisoning If you don't have the patience to read the article, I'll give you my one-line summary: Some (not all) mushrooms are toxic. Some toxic ones kill by damaging the liver.
Avatar n tn Chocolate contains concentrations of theobromine. That is a compound that occurs naturally in many plants such as cocoa, tea and coffee plants. Theobromine relaxes the lower esophageal sphincter muscle allowing stomach acid to reflux into the esophagus. It's often suggested that people refrain from chocolate, tea and coffee when they have gastris and relux issues. Dairy is also not suggested when one has gastritis and reflux.
Avatar n tn Some nutrients that can only be gotten from plants (like Vitamin C) and others that can only be gotten from animals. B12 is critical for life and isn’t found in any amount in plants (except some types of algae), it is the most important nutrient that vegans must be concerned with. B12 deficiency is very common in vegans, one study showing that 92% of vegans are deficient in it. Animal protein contains all the essential amino acids. It is important for muscle mass and bone health.
Avatar f tn If he was throwing up last week, was this due to something he had eaten or come into contact with, such as toxic household or garden chemicals or pesticides, toxic plants or other poisons? Has your vet performed a urine test for protein leakage? Have they undertaken a blood pressure check? What do you feed your dog as a routine (including treats)?

Avatar f tn Two Nuclear Power Plants in the plan for the future. To help us create jobs, go green etc, etc. The last power plant constructed was 30 years ago. So, is this a good idea? bad Idea? What say you?

Avatar m tn I have been doing researches on the recipe,which handed down from my forefathers,can cure all kinds of nephritis(except Kidney Failure and Uremia because they are not reversible).

Avatar n tn It could be food allergies or that he is allergic to a cleaning product or deodorizer you may be using in the house. Got any plants? Kitties can also be allergic to certain plants. Would you post a picture of the cat on your profile page so I could see him? Is he indoors only? Do you keep him inside at all times? What food are you giving him? A lack of certain nutrients can cause air loss. But maybe this is just a bad case of skin disease.

Avatar f tn Hi Now! I still have days with little energy! Like today, for example! It's kinda like sleep, it comes & goes! You should start getting more energy day by day! I'm now on day 24 or so, and some days I still have low energy & feel sluggish! I do drink some high protein Ensure shakes and they really do seem to help! Hang in there honey, you are doing so well! You should notice a big difference tomorrow!
Avatar n tn After going to a new doctor about 3 months ago (my doctor had left the practice) we were going over all the symptoms I was having that range from blurry vision with eye pain to total black vision, draggin of left leg when walking, loss of strength and migraine headaches and extreem fatigue to the point of not being able to funtion - all of this was on top of the pain from my fibro (back, knees, hips, neck, elbows etc).
1563533 tn?1345366296 Catnip is a great diversion. Also I do now try to keep my plants up and away from his reach or the bigger plants in a room where he can't get to them. After a month or two I will re-introduce the plants, one at a time and hope the behavior has been re-directed... I think they do get better around plants as they get older. I've never had this issue with any of my older cats.
653138 tn?1258572904 There should be lots of high nutrient veggies like kale, collards, broccoli, sprouts, and the like, good quality protein such as fish, and a healthy dose of supplemental fish oil. Chew slowly and watch what you eat. Now, these will pertain to the fibro and the IBS, but as to the others, well, a fabulous diet can't hurt but don't know as much about it helping.
Avatar n tn If you don't have anemia, you don't have an iron problem. Vegetarians should have no problem getting sufficient iron, as it's present and best absorbed from a variety of plants. Examples are nettles, raw spinach, raw dandelion greens, beets, parsley, watercress -- you get the picture here, green leafy vegetables and others as well. Now, just being a vegetarian doesn't mean you're eating well.
Avatar f tn Protein, which the body uses for growth, maintenance and energy, is supplied from the diet in animal products like meat and eggs, and from plants like beans. When the body gets too much protein, a serious complication called encephalopathy can happen. This is because of the accumulation of large amounts of ammonia, a by-product from the digestion of too much protein, which is toxic to the brain.
Avatar f tn Calcium helps in egg maturation.Vitmain B6 is useful in women who have been suffering from luteal phase defects .Vitamin C supports ovulation by stabilizing hormone levels and aids in iron absorption. It also boosts the immune system .Iron balances ovulation. All these vitamins and minerals are essential for healthy conception. Take a balanced diet rich in all these vitamins and minerals.

Avatar m tn Ayurvedic medicine is traditional indian medicine. Phyllanthus plants like amarus, niruri, urinaria have been given to Indians to treat multiple ailments, so they have a reputation there. The thing with supplements is that they are made up from many different components, that researchers haven't yet isolated what specific compound is doing what.
Avatar n tn The trick for we humans is to get the essential amino acids we need from the protein we eat. It is a neat trick to do to be able to get the same amino acids from veggies as you would get from a steak from veggies as simple as rice beans & corn :-) of course eggs are the 'perfect' source of protein & amino acids, that all other food sources are measured by, and if you aren't allergic to eggs, I think 1 egg a day is enough to keep you with the amino acids you need each day.
Avatar n tn I quit eating meat one year ago. My protein comes primarily from plants now. I'd like to make sure I'm not getting too much fat from the nuts and seeds I eat as well as the coconut oil. I'm also curious about any deficiencies I may or may not have. Is there a standard blood test for this? Thanks.
611067 tn?1458591483 Have any of you collected these plants. I have an old friend who gave me a coleous a couple years ago and since then I am in total love with them. They almost look like flowers! In my office, I have 2 white and green ones, 1 peach colored one, 1 red one and 1 that is multi - redand white in the leaves. And, I have a cut from someone who has a pinkish purple one with white around the edges of the pinkish purple and green! They grow a purple colored flower on the tip of them. Just awesome!

A heavily-armed K9 unit arrived and discovered that the plants were, in fact, okra bushes.
Avatar f tn As for PTSD exposure for me would be a very bad idea. Therapy for me has involved reduction of exposure, stress relief, feeling good about myself, etc.. Transformation is what I need but can't get. My only question is can I live like this for the rest of my days? I am unemployed and can no longer afford therapy. I don't have the option of free services since I am married and live in a rural area and can't get anywhere with no car.
Avatar f tn Yea I'd try to avoid the protein powder and get the protein I need from the food I eat. I'm a vegetarian so I get my protein from tofu and other foods made from soy, beans, nuts, and dairy products. You don't know all the ingredients in the protein powder so I'd ask my doctor about it.
