[Tom 14011]

The student life is taking its toll.

 

Basically i think its not eating properly and drinking way too properly.

 

Any ideas?

Cheaper and better just to buy some fruit from the market, you can get it for next to nowt.

What happens if your too pissed and fat to get there?

[Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0]

A multi vitamin and mineral combination as a general purpose, and vitamin c plus zinc if you've got a cold.

[Tom 14011]

Good effort Doc

 

Nah im still slim and of a good weight im just tired all the time.

Recent research published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute suggests that taking multivitamins more than seven times a week can increase the risk of advanced and fatal prostate cancer. Some analyses have suggested that beta-carotene, vitamin A and vitamin E supplements may shorten life rather than extend it

You know what'll sort that? Sleep.

 

Being on here at 4.30am of an evening would suggest your patterns aren't as they should be.

Eat some fruit and veg. Seriously. You can have the best vitamin supplements in the world, eat chips with every meal and still die young.

[Tom 14011]

I never really eat chips tbh

 

 

Maybe once a month

[Tom 14011]

Il invest in some fruit too i guess.

[Meenzer 15526]

Sorry, that did come across a bit pompous. I generally ate like shit when I was a stoodent - if I had money then it'd be kebabs and chips, if I didn't (which was most of the time, particularly since I didn't get a loan, so entirely my own fault really) then it was £5 a week on Tesco Value bread, burgers, "margarine", etc.

 

If I'd known then that you could get a week's worth of pasta, own-value-brand tuna, red onions, peppers, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, and so on... I mightn't have ended up such a bloater and had to spend the last few years slimming down again.

 

Then again, it's a damn good feeling, so go team bloat.

Keith Richards and Iggy Pop don't eat fruit and they're in the hundreds now!

Goji juice. Pretty expensive but it works.

 

From the Himalaya mountains where those people take it daily and 70 year olds can walk ten miles without raising a heart beat.

Supposed to be good for your skin, sex drive, sleep, endurance and strength.

 

Being a student it may be out of your price range but getting it in dry berry form and sprinkling it over a bowl of cereal works too. If you can afford it though, get it in liquid.

 

I take it and I can vouch for its effectiveness.

We didn't realise you're such a randy old bastid Ken!

I can see the PMs streaming in from Noelie, Leaze, Laz, Shilton, the Dr, Alex, Gemmill

tomatoes in almost every meal when I was in my second and third years. Big bag of frozen veg... not as good for you as fresh veg obviously, but they're easier to store and just as easy to prepare. There's bound to be an international supermarket near your gaff, so tootle down and pick up some new and exciting veg on the cheap.

 

I remember being told Chili peppers speed up your metabolism, and so they're a good way to stay slim, just pop one (sliced) in your sandwiches or bolognese or whatever.

 

Easiest way to stay slim is to stay off takeaways late at night, because you're basically buying them for tradition or to satisfy any imagined cravings you've concocted. If you have to eat, some toast is just as satisfying as a kebab.

 

Swearing off takeaway was the best dietary choice I've ever made to be honest. Pretty obvious, but bugger me you feel so much better without all that shite in your system.

Not just that, but quite often it's not very bio-available. Almost always better just to eat more fruit and veg.

[Tom 14011]

Vitamin B Complex

Multi Vitamins and Iron

Zinc

 

180 tablets = £5

 

and i got some fruit, and eggs not bad

[Gemmill 44872]

You want to get some Vitamin C on top of that, I reckon. I have 1000mg tablets and take a couple a day, even though these are described as one a day. The Vitamin C that you get in multivitamins is next to fuck all.

Reckons is the full RDA on the back, 60mg?

[Dr Gloom 21922]

aye. vitamin c is the daddy when it comes to keeping the lurgy at bay. but you're probably best off just eating a couple of oranges a day and drinking plenty of fresh orange juice

[Guest alex]

That smmothy company whose name escapes me do a Vit C one with acerola cherries that's about 800% your RDA. Ideal in the winter time for wardy off the 'flu and colds. If you actually eat fruit instead of drinking smoothies / juice etc. you get the fibre from it too though as it gets broken down when it's puree'd. It's also better for your teeth as the sugars stay locked in the cells if you eat the fruit whole. Can't whack fruit and veg really.

Much more likely to be effective, down side is your teeth may well disintegrate.
