Nutrients

Question: Nutrients? I've been a vegetarian for seven months and I feel a lot healthier and such, but lately I've been feeling rather tired and had no appetite and had lots of headaches, and I'm thinking I may be lacking protein? So if anyone has any ideas on recipes including a good amount of protein, or just food in general that are protein rich, that'd be great help :). Also if you know how to get other essential nutrients, such as iron and whatnot that'd be great as well, I want to improve my diet.

Answer: It's probably not protein, since it's not protein that gives you energy, but carbohydrates. Instead, try taking vitamin B12 daily - I take 1000 mcg per day. The best kind is the sublingual methylcobalamin lozenges since the absorption is better than swallowing. Also take a good multi-vitamin. Make sure that you are drinking 1/2 your weight in oz. of water or other decaffeinated fluid. Being dehydrated can give you headaches big time. You only need about 40-50 grams of protein per day and that's easy to get, even on a vegetarian diet.

Question: What kind of nutrients can be found in the skin of a cantaloupe? I know that most fruits and vegetables contain most of their nutrients in the skin. Does anybody happen to know if the skin of a cantaloupe contains any nutrients? I just ate it and it didn't taste bad. I couldn't find any info on this on the web.

Answer: I couldn't find much information either. I've heard people say that the rind does carry the added risk of carrying salmonella and pesticides. Because of it's strong taste and tough texture most people avoid it. I did find this site though that may be of interest to you. It's about juicing cantalope with the rind...

Question: What nutrients and vitamins should I focus on getting for more energy? My girlfriend and I have decided to start exercising more now. We walk, jog, bike, and lots more. We don't have a lot of energy though. We stay away from soda. We eat enough, but still... I'm 15, she's 17. I'll be turning 16 pretty soon, so how much of these nutrients should we consume? Thanks.

Answer: Take anything that has a good supply of B-vitamins. Vitamin B helps boost mental and physical energy. You can get it in liquid form or as a supplement. It depend on how you want it. The drink form will react faster for a boost of enery. XS energy drinks are a great source of that. It uses just Vitamin B to provide you with the energy. There is a Nutrilite Natural B Complex for a pill form as well as Nutrilite Rhodiola 110 Supplement. You can get more info on these at http://Arcameda.com . Just search for vitamin b or XS. Both of the sources or vitamin B listed have multiple types of B.

Question: What are the main nutrients found in rice and alternatives? How do these nutrients help the body? What are theexamples of foods that are rich in these nutrients include?

Answer: one cup of rice has over 88% the daily recommended ammount for manganese (not to mention 27% the rda of selenium, 20% the rda of magnesium, 18% the rda of tryptophan, and 14% the rda of fiber). manganese helps produce energy from proteins and starches, helping to synthesize fatty acids which are vital to the nervous system and sex hormones. manganese also makes superoxide dismutase (sod) possible. sod works inside our body's cells to protect them from free radical damage. manganese keeps bones strong and blood sugar normal. other great sources of dietary manganese are: pineapple, garbanzo beans, spinach, cloves, raspberries, soybeans, and other grains, vegetables, and spices. interesting, isn't it!

The female has been laying eggs and I found out that some eggs are not fertile when i looked through them near a lamp. Each one has dry rock-like yolk. Are there any nutrients needed? My birds have been incuabating the eggs and nothing happens....

Answer: As an ex breeder of over 45 years breeding Cockatiels ,I always fed my birds on a good seed diet along with various veg, and fruit. Veg , consisted of Broccoli , Sweet Corn Cob, Carrot,Kale, Sprouts, Spinach.Dandelion leaves and seeding heads. Fruit such as Apple ,Pear, Grapes,(never Avocado, or Lettuce) But the best food in breeding season was Soaked sprouting seed , Soak some of their seed with the addition of small Sunflower,Mung Beans,Hemp.in warm water over night, drain , rinse ,place somewhere warm till it sprouts (2-3 days) rinse and feed a.s.a.p.to your birds, they will benefit from this tremendously and do not forget Cuttle bone and a Mineral block. I must agree with jonboy and disagree with angella d. Cockatiels are not diomorphic. Quite a number of Australian carry the spot features Rosella's Bourkes.etc.

Question: What nutrients do flowerhorn fish need? I want to know what part of nutrients do flowrhorn fish need the most. Why some flowerhorn fish food contains "Ash"? What do moistures do? What part of nutrient makes flowerhorn fish's bump bigger?

Answer: You need to basically keep their main diet a good cichlid pellet. I really like Hikari's Cichlid Gold pellet, it is a good all around cichlid food that contains everything they need to stay healthy. I have just ordered another pellet food from Hikari called Bio-Gold, it is supposed to be very good for South American cichlids. Flowerhorns are hybrid cichlids, but the species they come from are all South and Central American cichlids, so as long as you keep the diet the same as it would be for any other SA or CA cichlid you should be fine. No food will help the hump get larger on the Flowerhorn, this is a genetic trait, feeding it a specific food will do nothing to the hump that will not happen naturally. MFK

Question: What is the proper way to provide nutrients to my plants, growing hydroponically? on the bottle it says how much to use per gallon so how do i know when its been used up and when do i have to add more nutrients, i have seen some people wait until the reservior empties to half then they flush and refill then add more nutrients, what do you think?

Answer: Plants absorb nutrients through capillary action at the rate of concentration of the available nutrient. They absorb the fluid then extract the nutrient, they do not extract the nutrient from the free floating fluid. That is why there is a recommended concentration. The flushing of the reservoir is to remove settled solids and other impurities so as not to change the concentration of the newly added solution. What you have observed is the recommended procedure for small non commercial hydroponics.
