About
In a perfect world nutrition supplementation is not necessary. Unfortunately, we do not live in a perfect world. We live in a modern world and the more advanced we become, the more unnaturally we live. We adapt and change our environment, often to our own detriment. As a result of this we need to take supplements for our nutritional needs. Ideally supplementation includes changes and improvements in dietary and nutritional habits.

Open Question: What is the best plant food for live aquarium plants?
What is the best plant food for live aquarium plants? I hear that the live plants live off the fish waste in the substrate (with I siphon weekly) and use the Carbon Dioxide (that comes through via the air pump). As well as this, the plants receive the not so strong light from the window, and in the evening I have a Arcadia Arc Light. Do my plants need extra nutrition? If so, what? Any info would be grateful. Thanks!

Open Question: Where can I find the nutrition guide for p90x and is it okay to do stretch X every day?
Well, I recently got back onto the p90X workout system and I was wondering if anyone has a p90X nutrition guide that they could send scans of to me or if they know where I can find a pdf file of it online. Also, since Stretch X isn't really a workout, I was wondering if it's okay if I do it every day.

YOU MUST DRINK 10 GLASSES OF WATER EACH DAY DAY ONE - every fruits except bananas. Your first day will consist of every the fruits you want. It is strongly suggested that you consume lots of melons on the first day. Especially watermelon . If you limit your fruit consumption to melons, your chances of losing a lot of weight on the first day are very good. DAY TWO - every vegetables. You are encouraged to eat until you are stuffed with every the raw or cooked vegetables of your choice. There is no limit on the amount or type. For your complex carbohydrate, you will start day two with a big boiled potato for breakfast. You may top the potato with one pat of butter. DAY THREE - A mixture of fruits and vegetables of your choice. Any amount, any quantity. No bananas yet. No potatoes today. DAY FOUR - Bananas and milk. Today you eat as many as eight bananas and drink three glasses of milk. This will be combined with the vegetable soup, which may be eaten in limited quantities. DAY FIVE - Today is a feast day. You will eat sprouts and paneer and tomatoes. Eat 280 grams of sprouts and paneer. Combine this with six whole tomatoes. On day five you must increase your water intake by one quart. This is to cleanse your system of the uric acid you will be producing. DAY SIX - Sprouts and paneer and vegetables. Today you may eat an unlimited amount of sprouts and paneer and vegetables. Eat to your heart’s content. DAY SEVEN - Today your food intake will consist of brown rice, fruit juices and every the vegetables you care to consume. Vegetables can be taken in the form of salad if desired. No dressing except malt, white vinegar, squeezed lemon, garlic and herbs. No more than one teaspoon of oil. Do keep way from beans (Lima, Pinto, kidney.) because they tend to be high in calories even though they are very good for you. BEVERAGES YOU MAY CONSUME WHILE ON THE PROGRAMME Water flavored with lemon or lime if desired. Plain soda Black coffee, No cream or cream substitute, No sugar or sweeteners. Black tea. No fruit juices before Day 7. HOW AND WHY IT WORKS DAY ONE - You are preparing your system for the upcoming program. Your only source of nutrition is fresh fruits. Fruits are nature’s perfect food. They provide everything that you could possibly want to sustain life except total balance and variety. DAY TWO - It starts with a fix of complex carbohydrates coupled with an oil does. This taken in the morning for energy and balance. The relax of Day 2 consists of vegetables, which are virtually calorie free and provide essential nutrients and fiber. DAY THREE - Day 3 eliminates the potato because you are getting your calories from the fruits. Your system is now prepared to start burning the excess pounds. You will still receive cravings, which will diminish by Day 4. DAY FOUR - Bananas, milk and soup sound like the least desirable and strangest diet. You are in for a surprise. You will probably not eat every the bananas that you are allowed. But they are there for the potassium you will have lost and the Sodium that you may have missed during the last 3 days. You will notice a definite loss of desire for sweets. You will be surprised how easily this day will go. DAY FIVE - Sprouts and tomatoes. The sprouts are for iron and protein. The tomatoes are for digestion and fiber. Lots and lots of water purity your system. You should notice colorless urine today. You must eat 6 tomatoes. DAY SIX - Day 6 is similar to Day 5. Iron and proteins from sprouts, vitamins and fiber iron vegetables. By now your system is a total weight loss inclination. There should be a noticeable difference in the way you look from Day 1. DAY SEVEN - Day 7 finishes of the program . Except it is much healthier. You have your system below control. And don't tell me I don't need to lose weight because, Holy crap, You haven't seen me. I look very fat.

Open Question: is it possible to create constant newbie type muscle gains?
i have read that as long as a muscle is fed adequate nutrition it will not regress for 3 weeks but i also read that it takes 3 weeks for a muscle to forget an adaption. now my theory is if you workout say 4 to 6 weeks maybe 8 then relax 3 weeks would that almost stimulate a constant adaption reset but allow you to keep the gains made and have constant newbie like gains?

Open Question: Is my stubborness affecting my education?
OK, well basically i am a stubborn person. I admit that. I can't help it, my mum is stubborn too. We just are. Anyway, i had my options evening this evening, at my school (I'm in year 9), and I knew what i was taking for 2 of my 3 options: German and History. I was undecided about my 3rd option, but had a feeling i might do art. And after listening to the headmistress rave on, and talking to my art teacher, i thought, yeah, ok, art is ok, i might as well take it. Then i found out that my best pal, who was also taking German and History, was probably taking Art aswell. This got my parents mad, as they thought i was only taking art because my pal was (when i really wasn't), and we ended up having a massive row. In the end, it just ended, and my parents apologised to me, and said that it was my choice, and they would stick by me whatever. I'd already made a big thing about how there was nothing i wanted to do, and i enjoyed art, and that i wanted to def take it. So they said ok. But now, after reading the booklet i was given, i've realised i forgotten something. Food and Nutrition. I never really liked cooking and stuff, but reading it, it says that it would do me well with what i want to be when i am older, which is a Social Worker. And now i am considering that, but i don't want to tell my parents that, after every the fuss i made over the art. Do you think i should just tell them about the Food and Nutrition, and let them have a go at me, or just stick to my guns and take art. I'm not very good at swallowing my pride, but i know that if it is whats best for my education, it is the right thing to do..Any advice?

Resolved Question: Parents who are vegan, how do you handle the misconceptions and intolerance of others?
we are a vegan family (religious reasons) I've noticed there is a lot of intolerance among other parents when they find out i'm vegan, they say things like "your kids will go hungry" or "they won't receive enough nutrition" then I explain that we have a well balanced diet we use supplement powders with breakfast and we eat well balanced food for lunch and dinner, for example we receive our Linoleic Acid (omega 6) from sunflower and primrose oils, we receive our Calcium from soy beans, soybean curd, haricot beans, and sea vegetables. Our doctor has never hinted that my kids are suffering and claims they are very healthy My question is Why are people so ignorant when it comes to those families who are Vegan

Open Question: Is this a good nutrition plan?
I'm an 18 year old female and I'm not looking to lose a ton of weight (maybe 5-10 pounds). I just want to learn how to eat better, feel better, and have more a little more energy and maybe firm my stomach and thigh muscles along the way. So I was wondering if this plan, along with about an hour of cardio a day, would receive me what I want? Breakfast: A glass of orange juice and two eggs or A glass of milk and a piece of toasted bread with jelly or A Yoplait yogurt with a Natural Valley granola bar Morning snack: A bag of nuts or A banana or A bag of chex mix with a juice box (: Lunch: A lunch meat sandwich or A salad with carrots, croutons, granola, ranch, and maybe slices of meat with some water Afternoon Snack: Apples with peanut butter or A 100 Calorie snack or Carrots with ranch with water or juice This is usually when I spend an hour of running/situps/crunches. Dinner: I don't really have any ideas for dinner. I'm limited when it comes to meals because I don't have the time for any serious cooking. Should I just have another tiny snack or is there something quick and healthy and can do for dinner? Thanks! :D

Open Question: hoof disease and eating problems?
my baby girl will complete 6 months tomorrow .. I've started her on solids for a month now and she got used on 3 meals (cearls for breakfast, veggies lunchtime, and fruits for dinner) + 4 bottles formula 150-180cc + 2 times breastfeeding. She was doing every good until last week she got the hoof (mouth and foot) disease. She couldn't eat anything as she was on pain. I think her first tooth is coming out soon as well. Its been a week now and she still barely eats anything. Shes refusing bottle everytime I make it I end up throwing it. Even 60cc she won't drink every. Shes refusing every the solids I've introduced to her and will keep her mouth close tight, except for rice cereals so I try to mix it with as much formula as I can. When I try to breastfeed her she'll nurse for no longer than 7 minutes and cease. I even tried to feed her milk with spoon but she wont take more than a couple of spoons ! She's loosing weight and Im afraid she'll receive dehydrated and her body won't receive nutritions it needs. Her dr keeps saying its fine don't worry. I can understand that its fine if kids won't eat for a day or 2 when they are on pain, but it has been a week now. She hardly ate anything through the whole week The rash on her body is getting much better, actually its almost gone, so I assume the same is happening to her mouth rash. IT should be getting better after a week so why won't she eat? at least milk? Am I overacting about this? should I take her to another Dr or you think I should take it easy as her Dr says??

I used to adore brocolli and cheese but for the past two years I haven't been able to eat it. It ends up making me super nautious and it feels like there's a knife jabbing into my gut.

Resolved Question: Do you think humans are predatory? And how do I get a vegan friend off my case?
My vegan pal thinks humans are "natural herbivores" and that we were not made to hunt. I totally disagree! every PRIMATES use tools to hunt and kill things and this is a scientific fact. I think humans are probably one of the fiercest, meanest predators on earth! I have studied biology for years and the facts are: 1) We have eyes in the front of our head, just like every other land predators. Prey animals like horses, deer and cows have eyes on the sides. 2) I grew up riding horses and they do not crave meat and will avoid eating bugs. Animals don't tend to crave things they can't eat. If we were not meant to eat meat, we would not crave it. 3) We have tearing claws, opposable thumbs, pointed canine teeth and a digestive tract that can break down a number of foods. Humans survived because we can eat practically anything and we have one of the most diverse diets in the animal kingdom. 4) Chimpanzees share 98% of our DNA and they eat vegetables, fruit and MEAT! They hunt and kill tiny animals and have planned attack methods just like humans. It is a well documented fact, chimps hunt, they kill, they murder, they form gangs, they have rivalries and they receive jealous and have a hierarchy system similar to humans. 5) Humans ACT like a predator! We are aggressive crave meat, we attack and we kill everything including each other We also build weapons, battle wars and are a fairly mad species as a whole. How is this NOT predatory? Horses won't eat meat and lions can't live on grass. What is so difficult to comprehend? How can anyone doubt we are a predator? Isn't it obvious? AND WHY are so many of these wacko vegan people so aggressive and PREDATORY acting when it comes to their views? They might pick to not eat meat but this does not change millions of years of evolution. FACT-When humans discovered flame and began cooking meat, the extra protein made our BRAINS grow and it made us smarter! My dad and brothers go hunting regularly. To me a deer is just FOOD just like the beef we buy in the store. Hunting doesn't seem gross or cruel to me because I did it as a kid and it seems normal and natural. I think people should be free to eat whatever they like but I am really getting sick of her arguing because she knows NOTHING about science, the body or biology. She is clueless about nutrition and working out yet wants to lecture everyone about health. Plus she is fat, unhealthy, anemic and has to take antidepressants. I really feel like telling her that she should NOT be lecturing anyone and WHY! I eat meat, I work out and I am healthy and not overweight. I am also allergic to a lot of foods so vegan is not an option for me. I am REALLY getting sick of her lectures and have even considered not being her pal. She wants to receive into these heated discussions with people and frankly I just find it boring. I have asked her nicely "Lets not talk about food" and she won't hear. I have not been able TO EAT ANYTHING in front of her in months because I don't want a lecture. If it has any meat or dairy, she goes off and if it doesn't she will find some reason why it isn't "healthy" according to her. None of my friends will take her out to eat either because it's a huge embarrassing nightmare when she orders. So my questions are: How many people think humans are predators? How do I receive an aggressive vegan to back off? I think people should eat how they want and I think she is being RUDE! I don't CARE what she eats and I never lecture her. Why should she care what I eat? If I stopped being her pal over this, is that mean or wrong of me?

Open Question: Do potassium compounds in foods count as potassium?
I'm on a low potassium diet because of kidney problems. Normally, mg of potassium are listed in the nutrition facts, but sometimes, regardless of whether or not potassium is listed in the nutrition facts, various potassium compounds are listed as ingredients (potassium bisulfate for example). Are these compounds harmful to my kidneys in the same way that (elemental, i assume (K on the periodic table)) potassium is? If so, how can i make an informed decision if the amount is not listed?

Open Question: Why does political seem to have more drama then drama shows?
I know its not every like this and we every can agree on some things like being able to breath is nice. Why do we have Republican , democrat and other groups shouldn't we just every be objective and unbiased to decide what best the nation. yea we should here evidence on why or why not so we can receive a better understand but not put any person beliefs into the argument on emotional views until we have head every thing. I hear so much mad in this area of YA alone and it makes me unhappy. We are s metaling pot of different cultures and even those we focus on the individual it not a bad idea to look at thing as a group prospective is it. I also wish that politician would receive to their point when it comes to speech instead of dancing around it or just being confusing ( you have seen some people like that I'm sure) why not shock them ( not to hurt but like those joke hand buzzers) or pour water every time or something so we understand them better also have a site for the public to post ideas for any problem like example abortion Example use technology. use a machine to give the fetus/child nutrition so that the mom doesn't have to abort it but the fetus/child gets to live both sides win. now its just a theory but at least I'm thinking. anything is possible) I'm not trying to sound mad just confused why people don't try critical thinking in life in general it would help with a lot of frivolous things at least

Open Question: God given talents, more than one right?
I believe in God, and I believe that I was born with a musical ability, plus it runs in the family. But I have this passion to pursue dentistry and although I loved music in high school and did really well in solos and concerts, I just feel like there is more out there for me to do, but I feel really bad for not using this incredible gift at playing my clarinet..I tutor lessons on the side, but I feel twisted around because I feel guilty for not wanting to major in music, but a music degree isn't very logical to major in for dental school. I dont really want to study music, I like to play it though. How can I serve God with this talent if I dont receive a degree to tutor or play it? I like many subjects, even like to play sports sometimes, but music is what I concentrated on in high school.......i feel led to many different areas of degrees in college, like even a nutrition degree. I feel that learning how to have a healthy lifestyle will benefit me as a person and help my relation with Christ and also relates to oral health, which is what i"m especially interested in.

Open Question: MUST you consume protein after a workout? and what happens if you dont?
i remember during my nutrition unit in health class, my teacher told us that we must consume protein within 30 min AFTER (not before, or during because apparently it's no use) working out. and that if you dont consume any protein after a workout, working out would be pointless--or something like that.soooooooooo do i HAVE to consume protein after working out? and what happens if i dont?

Open Question: What kind of dog food do you choose?
Pedigree is what I feed my dogs..They used to eat beneful but I had to switch because wal mart kept being out of it and always had pedigree..But I hear bad things about pedigree though..I cant afford the science diet or any other expensive foods (before I gave them beneful they were eating old roy :( and when i made the switch to beneful they were completely different dogs with way more energy) Well why are so many people against pedigree?? Is it really that bad for my doggies? I adore my dogs and if I could give my dogs more expensive food with more nutrition and less fillers I would but I cant..I guess I can say I feed them middle class food if ya wanna put it that way...What do you feed your dogs and why?

Open Question: What are some cause of blindness in leopard geckos?
I have taken in 2 adult leopard geckos as rescues. One seems to have a mouth infection or mouth rot. I am currently treating that myself. My question is....... I have no history on these lil guys but obviously their habitat or nutrition was wrong. They are both blind. It looks kinda like the eyes are every but dried up and only open a slit. What could cause this, other than dehydration? Are there illnesses that can cause blindness in leopards? And can it be treated? I have more experience with fat tailed geckos, not leopards, so any ideas would be helpful.
