Omega 3 I saw on tv the other day that children given regular supplies of Omega 3 became more interested in their surroundings and, perhaps, more intelligent. Omega 3 is a vitamin (or some other helpful substance) which is found in oily fish, particularly kippers, etc, including Salmon. Don't you take supplements? I take Omega 3 now in the hope that my intelligence might achieve the sub-normal, but I also take folic acid, anti-depressants, and anti-acid-stomach pills. I used to take a multi vitamin, but I reckon that has been overtaken by all the little bits I take. How many pills do you take?
I've already known that Omega 3 boosts your brain functions. That's why fish is called "brain food". Same reason why the Japanese are amongst the world's first in everything from robotics and learning. I take vitamins, but I dont see my IQ raising. Must be the incredible stupidity blocking the way.
Me Michelle? I take Vitamin E gel capsules and Centrum Multi. Dont feel any different tho. Iron is good for regenerating your red blood cells, if i remember my biology lessons well enough.
Vitamins are a good idea especially with our modern lifestyles tempting us to choose fast-food outlets rather than homemade meals (by homemade I mean the old-fashioned homemade in that you use real potatoes that you've peeled versus potato flakes in a box, etc.). It is hard sometimes to find the time to make supper not using the quick to prepare box format but I think it is worth it in terms of healthier food although I have read some studies that claim that our modern vegetables are so genetically different from those even 50 years ago that they don't have the same amount of nutrients...same calories but less vitamins. Has anyone else heard this or is this yet another myth to worry people into buying their vitamin products?
I eat a home cooked meal every day - my wife wouldn't do anything else. I used to take Centrum, but then my obligatory pills reached two per day and I began to take Fulcrum 21 - no - no - it was Folic Acid and Omega 3. I also take anti-depressants and a counter to gastric stomach. So I don't have either depression or a stomach.
Good to see you taking the old-fashiioned route as opposed to nip/tucking. Good for us the old timers!
Most English people that I know eat this way, but I expect that those in the towns eat more junk food, or 'fast' food.
Here in LA, there're 6-7 different kinds of fast-food joints, and they're just the plain old burger places! Not even counting chicken, specialty, what-not. We change tires more than we change shoes.
I also heard that most fast food is laced with MSG as it adds more taste to the food and is also addictive so you will crave more of it. Sometimes, when one has a craving for Chinese food, etc. one starts to wonder if that's true...
It is certainly laced with salt and other things (I don't know what they are). My brother used to say that he could make a piece of paper taste more like an orange than an orange did.
Something can taste kind of, or even at most, exactly like an orange, but not MORE than the orange itself can. The logic is that if an orange loses its own taste to a piece of paper, the taste ceases to belong to the orange. And if the taste is no longer the orange's, how can you compare how that piece of paper tastes to how the orange tastes? That piece of paper that tastes like the orange would become the new orange, thus nullifying the original comparison between the two. It would be like comparing how one orange(that special piece of paper) tastes more like an orange than another one(the original orange). Why did you even bother reading that whole mess of arbitrarily philosophical doodie just now?
My brother was a chemist and, strangely enough, I believe him. Mind you, he didn't really look after himself. Died at 46.
I cannot let it go "we change tires (tyres) more than we change shoes" - whose surprised? Americans have a reputation, which Brits are trying to equal, of never walking anywhere that they can ride in a car - generally a very large 'gaz guzzler'. Even now I walk at least a mile and a half a day - usually early in the morning when the dogs need to go out. And then, when I get back, I go back to bed.
Unfortunately LA is built around freeways and not mass transist. Centrium MultiVitamin for me and Orange Juice with Calcium fortification
My wife and daughter went to Florida a few years ago. We won the trip in a local 'stake' (or something). My wife said it would have been absolutely hopeless to try to walk anywhere at all. You just had to have a car to get from A to B, even if they were very very close together. I decided quite sometime ago that I do not want to go to the U..S.A.
Yep, stark contrast between LA and NYC. On different ends of the table those two are. One thing I DO like about LA over NYC is the cruising around you get to do, even if you dont actually have a set destination. There is definitely nothing like driving down the freeway, letting the wind comb your hair as you head for Fry's or the like. There are only skyscrapers for horizons and feeling like a sardine in the subways in NYC.
I thought quite a long time ago that anyone who was going to build a road would have to built a pavement on each side, no matter how long the road, with bridges (or underpasses) to permit the change from one side to another. It is absolutely horrible the state that modern traffic has dominated things in L.A. and various other parts of the U.S. Why can't they see the importance of maintaining.
