What's Missing From My Healthy Eating Regime?!


Question: What's Missing From My Healthy Eating Regime!?
I'm a true veg, none of this pollo veg, although to exception of being a lacto-ovo (diary products and eggs) I had excellent memory a couple of years back, now it is just shocking (forgetful at the best of times), what am I missing in my healthy eating regime!?

Thanks!.Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
You haven't told us what you are actually eating, besides eggs and milk!. It could be Folic Acid, Thiamine, Zinc or Sodium toxicity!.

If you aren't eating dark leafy greens -- like kale, spinach, chard, turnip or mustard greens - you could be low in Folic Acid

It is only bio-available in Brewer's yeast, dark leafy green vegetables and liver!. It should never be taken in pill form by itself!. If you decide to supplement with pill vitamins -- you must take a B-complex!.
Freeda Vitamins sells only 100% vegetarian vitamins!. They are the only vitamin company I trust!.

http://www!.freedavitamins!.com/entrance!.h!.!.!.

Deficiency of Folic Acid or B9 will cause the following symptoms: anemia, fatigue, weakness, headache, faintness, pallor, red sore tongue, diarrhea, weight loss, irritability, poor memory, hostility, and paranoia!.

Thiamine or vitamin B1 is bio-available in Beans, Grains, Seeds and Brewer's Yeast!.

Deficiency = loss of appetite, clouded thinking, sluggish bowel, lack of coordination, mental or emotional depression, fatigue, irritability, memory problems, muscle weakness, nervousness, numbness or burning of hands and feet, decreased pain tolerance, shortness of breath, fluid retention in hands and feet and beriberi!.

Zinc is bioavailable in wheat germ, carrots, peas, bran!. oatmeal and nuts

Deficiency = acne, spotty hair loss, loss of appetite, loss of taste and smell, brittle nails, white spots on nails, scaly skin rashes, frequent infections, poor growth, delayed puberty, impotence and male infertility, irritability, night blindness, amnesia and memory loss, paranoid feelings, poor wound healing, high cholesterol, diarrhea and fatigue!.

You could also be using too much Salt in your diet!. You should be limiting your sodium intake to 6 grams a day - (unless you are doing major physical labor in 110 degree weather)!.

Sodium toxicity can create cloudy thinking in individuals!. Other symptoms of overdose include: fluid retension, hypertension, muscle and nerve irritability, muscle tremors, thirst and increased fluid intake, frequent urination, congestive heart failure and loss of appetite!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

What's missing is the letter "n"!.

(You want the word "regimen"!. "Regime" means something else entirely!.)Www@FoodAQ@Com

Probably nothing to do with your diet !.Just the normal process of getting older!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

are you sure you're taking B12 supplements!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
