Answer by THtourguide
spring rolls, sometimes they have fish or meat in them, I got caught out by this once at a restaurant. Or soups too, often people think a vegetable soup has been made with veggie stock, but sometimes it is made with chicken stock, so if you are eating out then ask the waiter if the soup is made with veggie or chicken stock.

Benefits of Vitamin B7 (Biotin)

Biotin is necessary for cell growth, the production of fatty acids, and the metabolism of fats and amino acids. It plays a role in the citric acid cycle, which is the process by which biochemical energy is generated during aerobic respiration. Biotin not only assists in various metabolic reactions, but also helps to transfer carbon dioxide. Biotin is also helpful in maintaining a steady blood sugar level. Biotin is often recommended for strengthening hair and nails. Consequently, it is found in many cosmetic and health products for the hair and skin.

As a tennis player recovering from tendinitis, what sort of vitamin supplements should I be taking?

Question by icantgetenoughconan: As a tennis player recovering from tendinitis, what sort of vitamin supplements should I be taking?
Last fall, I played a little too much tennis and developed tendinitis in my right wrist and began to see a slight hint of tennis elbow, but fortunatley stopped and immobilized my arm before anything permanent could set in. Now that spring is coming, I'm going to start playing tennis a lot and I'm wondering what sort of vitamins and/or excersizes and/or anything I can do to keep my arms and joint strong and healthy. I currently take a normal multivitamin, a omega-3 complex and a glucosamine/chondroitin complex. Is there anything else I can be taking to strengthen tendins/muscles/connective tissue/bones? Also, what sort of excersizes, workouts or warm ups can you reccomend for me?

Nutrition

A diet emphasizing raw fruits and vegetables, whole grains, nuts and seeds is rich in the vitamins and nutrients that promote healing. Yellow vegetables and fruits such as carrots and cantaloupe are good sources of vitamin A, which is needed for collagen synthesis. Citrus fruits and dark blue fruits such as blueberries provide vitamin C and bioflavonoids to speed healing. Include a generous portion of wheat germ in your morning muesli. As the best food source of vitamin E, it destroys the harmful free radicals released during an inflammation. Add pumpkin seeds for zinc, which acts synergistically with vitamin E. The spices turmeric and cumin are known for their anti-inflammatory action. Pineapples contain the enzyme bromelain, which helps reduce pain and swelling.

Using unrefined, cold-pressed flax seed oil daily on salads or baked potatoes, mixed into rice, pasta or vegetable dishes after cooking, or incorporated into any dishes which do not require heating to high temperatures will help reduce the pain of tendinitis. Unrefined, cold-pressed flax seed oil contains the essential fatty acids omega-3 alpha-linolenic and omega-6 linoleic acid which the body converts into anti-inflammatory hormone-like substances called prostaglandins.

Nutritional Supplements

Nutritional supplements are used to reduce inflammation and encourage healing. Vitamin C with bioflavonoids is important for repairing connective tissue and collagen after an injury; it also reduces inflammation. Evening primrose oil supplies gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), a building block for the anti-inflammatory prostaglandins. If the inflammation is acute and painful, the enzyme bromelain taken between meals acts as a strong anti-inflammatory, reducing swelling and pain after an injury. Vitamins E and A help to repair connective tissue and cells. Vitamins A, C and E are antioxidants; they stop injury-induced free-radical damage to cells. Vitamin E further prevents internal *scarring.

Glucosamine supplements, combined with proper diet and vitamins, can rebuild damaged cartilage without producing side-effects. As an anti-inflammatory agent and painkiller, it is effective for long-term treatment of chronic illnesses. Most patients experience relief after taking glucosamine for six weeks.

A healthy diet can provide all of the nutrients needed for healing, plus supplements.


The eccentric program consists of:

Holding a static stretch for 15 to 30 seconds and repeating three to five times (in my case the infraspinatus).

Perform the eccentric exercise slowly on days one and two, moderately on days three to five, and fast on days six and seven. Then increase the resistance (never more than five pounds for the cuff muscles). Three sets of repetition.

Stretch statically as in #1.

Ice for five to 10 minutes to decrease swelling and pain.

Cellulite has nothing whatsoever to do with stress.

Here's the sad truth about cellulite. Cellulite is not fat, it's a genetic-based condition involving an uneven distribution of adipose and collagen tissues and once you have it, you will probably have it for life. However, because cellulite involves fat, you may be able to reduce the prominence of it by burning fat. Unfortunately, cellulite seems to present in those areas where fat tends to leave last...buttocks and thighs. So, reducing the cellulite effect will, for most people, require burning excess fat to a very low body fat percent....something which usually means a serious lifestyle change and commitment to proper eating habits for life with no guarantees.

Exercise won't help beyond burning a few more calories so plan your workouts around fitness goals such as excellence in a sport or occupation, strength, endurance, flexibility, systemic fitness, general health and well being, body sculpting, body composition, etc. Don't exercise with the hope it will help make cellulite disappear because it won't.

Here's an excerpt from an article from the US National Institute of Health, the people your doctor listens to.

"A great deal of money is spent by people who want to rid themselves of cellulite, but no amount of weight loss, exercise, massages, wraps, creams, supplements, or surgery has proven to effectively eliminate it once you have it. Liposuction, for instance, is not recommended for cellulite, and may even make it look worse."

What kind of multi-vitamin should a person with rhuemetoid arthritis take?

Question by Sasha: What kind of multi-vitamin should a person with rhuemetoid arthritis take?
like what brand and should some extra vitamin D be taken with it? how much Vitamin D should a person age 30 with artritis take daily?


Best answer:

Answer by ExeneC
I really think you should consult with your doctor before you start any vitamin regimen. he or she should be able to help you about what truly is best for you and how much to take. Here's some info on what kinds of vitamins & supplements can be helpful with RA.


Omega-3 Fatty Acids
Omega-3 fatty acids help cells form leukotrienes. Leukotrienes reduce inflammation in the joints and actually reduces the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C helps the body to produce collagen, which is a building block of joint health. Collagen also helps to reduce free radicals in the body that can damage joints and lead to arthritis.
Vitamin D and Calcium
Vitamin D and calcium promote bone health, which is a major consideration for arthritis sufferers. Vitamin D helps protect joins from osteoarthritis and also participates in collagen production along with Vitamin C.
Vitamin E
Vitamin E is an antioxidant that reduces free radicals in the body. Vitamin E helps joints already damaged by arthritis by reducing the effects.
B Complex Vitamins
B complex vitamins help reduce the inflammation in the joints associated with rheumatoid arthritis. B complex vitamins also help the body with processing protein and building cartilage.

Who Knows? Who Knows?
I know what treatment quite dramatically did that for me and many others on Answers who have used it. It's the best proven safe and natural way.
I had so many severe skin conditions that would not respond to medicines and that lead me to experiment with natural, safe remedies. These not only healed the conditions but gave me an unbelievably flawless, healthy, young looking, vibrant skin so that I am often thought to be countless years younger.To maintain healthiness of skin and keep it young looking there is no better or safer way then thoroughly massaging with essential oils. They naturally benefit skin in countless ways. They feed skin essential beneficial nutrients. Thoroughly massage into skin and you will see marked results even in one day. Massaging quite vigorously is even better for skin tightening and giving you a vibrant, glowing and blemish fee skin. Don't be afraid of doing it vigorously. If done right it is only beneficial as many users on Answers will testify(see my B.A.'s) There is no pulling or stretching of skin as you have to tighten face muscles in order to tighten or flex skin in the part being massaged and in doing so it actually exercises and conditions many of underlying face (and some neck) muscles - thus combating aging and weakening of muscles that eventually leads to sagging and wrinkling and lines. Vigorous massage is best done by using a forward and back motion using finger tips and front and sides of fingers. Circular motion is less effective. In just a few days skin will visibly tighten, look and feel smoother and have a healthy glow . I promise you that it can to totally revitalize and rejuvenate skin and face. Try it - you will be happy that you did!
