There’s a sickening love I have for the way bruises look on me

[oneshotnewbie]

Is there a tiny little chance that you will update <Missing for a Decade> soon? I absolutely love this idea, and I would love to read more of it!! <33

Supergirl - Missing for a Decade Part 5

Trigger Warning: This one-shot includes the topic of abduction and mentions of abuse. These plots are presented. If this triggers you too easily or you just can´t handle those subjects, I urge you NOT to read this work. I am NOT embellishing this topic under any circumstance. Read at your own risk.

Authors Note: Here you have a new chapter ♥ I'm going to edit the older chapters again since I don't like them and they seem a bit inconsistent when I look at this current chapter

ᕚ---ᕘ

"You came to talk to me about your sister and niece before you take them home?" the older gentleman asked, clearing his throat and turning completely to the women who had entered his office. "Yes,"

"I have treated more than hundred kidnapping victims, but none like your sister. Despite her captivity, she is open to other people and hardly scared which fascinates me. She is very strong," The doctor folded the remaining files on his desk and clasped his hands on the table in front of his torso, fingers locked tightly together. "You know, every victim presents a new challenge and it is like reading a map of battered bodies that have been unjustly violated"

Both Alex and Kara interestingly pulled a chair from the corner and listened to the doctor go into more details about your health, the various tests and examinations that they did on you.

"She is chronically underweight, physically atrophied. She has anemia, vitamin D and iron deficiencies, and some skin lesions and inflammation from the lack of natural light." he unbuttons the cuffs of his shirt sleeves and rolled them up. "Y/n Danvers shows signs of severe violence over the last few years. Broken bones that healed incorrectly and scars all over her body"

The grey-haired hesitates with another answer and bows his head down, wanting to give Kara and Alex a moment to digest the information. The office is suddenly quieter than it was at the beginning of the conversation. "What about Gracie?"

The man in front of them started to smile and looked at the two older Danvers with glittering eyes. "Despite the circumstances, your sister did a good job. Grace Danvers is a bright little girl with particularly good language skills despite her young age"

"Any signs of injury? Does she have bruises or healed broken bones?

He shook his head violently and took away all their fears with immediate effect. "No, she is a perfectly healthy girl. No vitamin deficiencies or signs of violence. No evidence of past fractures or other medical conditions. If I did not know better, I would say that her mother endured all of the abuse to protect her daughter"

The Danvers sisters nodded in unison and thanked your doctor for treating you so lavishly. Kara put one foot in front of the other as she left the office and waited for Alex to join in step. Together they walked back to your hospital room while going over the details of the injuries you had sustained in their minds.

ᕚ---ᕘ

A week had passed in which you slowly regained your strength in the hospital, slowly got used to your sisters around you and were able to get closer with them. While you were still adjusting to your new, free life, your little daughter explored everything she could get her hands on; running around the hospital with either Kara or Alex always by her side, having her aunts wrapped around her little finger since day one.

You stood nervously with your back to one of your older siblings, staring longingly out the window while your bony hand rested on the pane of glass. A sinister life stretched out behind it; a life you no longer knew. "I do not know if I am ready yet.." you replied to Kara, who sat on your bed and waited for you to take the first step outside. The first step to freedom and into a new life.

"There will never be a perfect moment, sweetheart. Nobody wants to imagine what you went through, but Alex and I will be by your side and support you. No matter how long it takes"

You nodded, saw her soft smile in the reflection and turned to her. The blonde extended her hand. You walked the last few inches that separated you, grabbed her hand so she could pull you into her arms. "Grace is already at the car with Alex and Maggie, trying out the new Nemo seat we bought for her"

You laughed briefly at the thought of how long and in how many stores the redhead must had been, desperate to find a car seat with your daughters favorite fish on it. She had wished for this one and, at the tender age of four, had already threatened not to sit in anything else but this one.

"We can go as soon as you are ready," softly, she kissed your dry and straggly hair, wrapped her arms tightly around you and savored the closeness she had missed so badly. You too snuggled up to her chest like a cat, took a deep breath of her perfume, which she still wore after all these years and let the moment sink in.

Kara´s heartbeat accelerated in your ears and her grip on you became tighter. A slight tremor emanated her body and her swallowing became stronger and heavier.

The sadness that overcame her was like an old friend who had accompanied her on the journey over the past few years. Not intrusive, but always in the foreground; always aiming to get her attention and cause deep pain where your love and closeness once found its place.

It stroked her hair every time she walked into your old room, whispered softly in her ear as in silent moments, she slid down the wall and broke down crying. Never leaving her side and always staying with her. The crushing feeling of never seeing you again, never hearing your footsteps creaking on the floor and never catching the sound of your voice ever again.

Your disappearance painted her world gray, pouring concrete over the once colorful rainbows of your being. You were the biggest concern between all the others. Your sisters were worn down by this eternal struggle - the circle of cause and effect, crime and punishment, guilt and innocence, victim and perpetrator. She had not stopped fighting this fight, but she wished she could.

And now she could finally feel the sun and see the colors again, the warmth she longed for and the soft melody of your voice that returned. "I have missed you so much," she said carefully, rocking you gently in her arms. Kara did not want to let go of you, she had been longingly waiting for this moment for too long.

"After all these years, have you stopped looking for me?"

"Yes, we did," she whispered into your hair, the pain in her voice clearly audible as salty tears strayed onto them. The blonde rested her trembling chin on the top of your head, gently stroking your shoulder while her other hand nervously played with your fingers. It was not until she composed herself that she pulled away from you just inches to look into your eyes. "We all spread out across National City and knocked on every door. We questioned alleged witnesses. But nobody had seen you or knew where you were."

Tears rolled quietly down your face, which Kara caught with the soft pads of her thumbs. Although you had asked the question yourself, your stomach still cramped completely when receiving the given information. Your family had fought through the struggle of your disappearance and given themselves up in the process. They had long since lost hope.

"I am sorry I caused you such pain," you looked at your hands and waved them around as if seeing them for the first time before closing your eyes for a brief moment. Shortly after, you opened them up again and stared at your sister with blank eyes. Kara´s on the other hand were blood red and swam behind thick glasses.

She quickly fell to the ground and knelt in front of you. Her warm hands were placed on your cheeks, her thumbs inevitably caressing them. "You are not to blame for what happened to you and you are not guilty for surviving it. Sure, we suffered pain because we thought we lost you forever, but you know what outweighs that pain?"

You shook your head and cocked it to the side, her hand now clasped between your shoulder and ear. She smiled at you briefly and pulled you to the front so your face was buried in her shoulder. "You are back and our hearts are whole again. You are so strong, a fighter and fought your way through everything that came your way. You do not have to be sorry. It. is. not. your. fault."

C!Dream affected not only by malnutrition, but but by a lack of sunlight.

When he first enters pandoras vault he’s doing, okay. Mentally and physically. Still shaken by his two canon deaths in quick succession, but he’s handling it.

But then he starts sleeping more (and it hurts because it reminds him of c!george). But sleeping is all he has to occupy himself, a way to make the time pass faster. He tries to keep his strength up, to exercise regularly, maintain his stamina, but it seems to get harder everyday. Not just because there’s no point, but physically. Fatigue plagues him every waking moment. He sleeps not because of its restorative effect, but because when hes sleeping, he doesn’t know just how tired he is.

Everything hurts. He can never find a comfortable position on the obsidian floor, but it’s more than that. His very bones ache. Muscle pain is constant, with no exertion to explain it. His legs cramp, his whole body does, despite it never happening to him previously.

When c!Quackity visits, things are worse then they should be. Hits that would have only bruised in the past now break bones. His wounds don’t heal like they used to. Infections set in easily. He can only watch as his body breaks down, is broken down, and one day he forgets what the sun looks like. Did its warm rays on his skin feel the same as the heat radiating of the lava? He can’t remember anymore.

Everything listed is an actual symptom of vitamin d deficiency! Not included is depression and mood swings. Add onto all that solitary confinement & malnutrition. 6 months of no sunlight is a Very Bad Thing.

Lol I haven't posted a journal entry in here since January. Which like to touch up on the situation with my father's wife, still no resolution, but I'm still not happy with her and like whatever I guess. Fuck that. My middle sibling is pan & genderfluid and I'm so happy for them, especially for figuring it out at a much younger age than me which makes me inner child happy too because that's all I want for others, to find themselves. My youngest sibling just got a phone and I adore her as well. They're both like me tbh just at like different stages in my life and I love them so much. Aside from my partner, they're also my reason to keep going because I want a relationship with them that's not just visits, but like they can talk to me whenever about whatever.

But as far as a mental health update: I self diagnosed with autism in like August/September. It started as an advocating for others thing, to finally giving in and realizing that those were some of my own experiences too and I had a little voice in my head about it for a while now, but it wasn't until this year that I really did A LOT of research and self tests and listening to videos and listening to the real life experiences and relating with it a lot to myself.

I still believe I have BPD, but I have cut myself off from people a lot because of the fp/person hyperfixation/social anxiety shit so the most it comes out now is with my partner/at work but I've been working on that and realizing that a lot of it coincides with my autism/ADHD/OCD.

I still think I have bipolar w/ psychosis because even with the meltdowns/shutdowns/burnouts I can still tell that I get manic and I still have to deal coming close to psychosis and my moods still have a sort of cyclical type pattern to them.

I definitely have PTSD/cPTSD. Individual events trauma and then the abuse & masking I've had to endure. Triggers are everywhere, ugh.

I still struggle with my eating disorder. My autism/ADHD really fuck with it though. My interoception is so off.

I most certainly have OCD, but a lot of it overlaps with my autism too.

Oh yeah still have ADHD. Executive dysfunction sucks, time blindness sucks, hyperfixation (at inconvenient times) sucks, etc.

I think it's likely, though not ready to assign the label so to speak, that I could have symptoms of AvPD and DPD. I wouldn't be surprised, there's enough trauma and disabled family history that I could really just be that goofed up. But then some stuff could overlap with the other shit, but honestly all of my disabilities are like knotted together anyway so...

However! On top of discovering that I too have autism, I started paying attention to my gut. Because it started going back to that super stressed out immense pain hurting and realizing that gut issues are a common thing for autistic folx and being like huh. So I started to become more aware of my body and all the pain I was just storing away or something or just ignoring, idk. But I remembered how my anxiety/stress would affect my digestion, but then recently I also noticed how a lot for the symptoms I have...it kind of points to a gluten sensitivity. Possibly even Celiac's. Which really fucking sucks. Because I struggle to eat as it is and now I might have to change my "diet" around to be gluten-free or at least until I can be diagnosed officially at least very little gluten. Yes I know I have to eat my normal amount that I would once they do blood tests. I've also obsessively researched this too. My autism/OCD really coincide when it comes to researching...oh and especially when you sprinkle in some ADHD hyperfixation, oof, off we go, 3 hours later.... Lol. Which I've noticed feeling weak, and I've had a lot of fatigue and joint/muscle pain and headaches, and I've always had skin issues. But I think I may have iron-deficient anemia and I'm probably low on vitamin D since I'm not absorbing nutrients as well. Bruising easily.

I could possibly have POTS, or it could be the anemia. But birth giver has it, so it's possible....

I still think I have endometriosis and my partner pointed out the possibility of PMDD. Birth giver has endo too.

Last but not least, I think it's possible I could have EDS, possible specifically kEDS. While not officially diagnosed, scoliosis has been mentioned by a doctor during a physical and I feel SO much pain in my spine. My knees are fucked up. My shoulders are fucked up, right one has dislocated a few times. My hip pops out of place sometimes. My skin is soft and stretchy, not just loose skin either. My scars do a similar thing that I've seen on others. Sometimes it even feels like my knees give out. I'm double jointed/hyper mobile in my hands, elbows (kinda) and knees. So on and so forth, I'm tired.

But yeah lots of shit. It sucks. I've been overwhelmed/stressed/shutdown/burnt out ever since the quarter started and I haven't been able to attend classes since then with all this pain and gut issues I'm having. Plus the social shit exhausted the ever loving shit out of me.

For the celiac, POTS, and EDS I want to be tested for, which I may consider a formal diagnosis of autism if I'm already doing all that work, idk. It's not as important for me unless it'll help with the other diagnoses.

Character Sheet: Jun

Name: 

Birth Name: Alexandra June  Preferred Name/Nickname: Jun

Gender: Cisgender Female

Age: 24

Height: 157cm // 5′1

Weight: 41kg // 90lbs

Body type:

Thin, a little bony? Hey hipbones stick out if she leans a certain way and you can see her collarbones up to her shoulders. She’s just very small as a result of her habits. I’m not sure whether to label her as ectomorphic or endomorphic? I feel like she would be endomorphic if she ate more In terms of her complexion, she’s a bit pale (Vitamin D deficiency, iron deficiency) and has a fair few scars on various parts of her body. They don’t come from self-harm necessarily, but rather appear as a result of whatever activities she’s engaged in. She impulsively picks at her skin, especially her arms, chest and face. Bruises kind of easily, but not as much as you’d expect

Eyes:

Wide, round. They look a little sunken in, like she hasn’t gotten sleep in while, but she has (maybe too much?). Her eye colour is a darker blue, or at least they look that way. She has fairly large pupils and her eyes might even look dark brown if you aren’t paying attention. Eyebrows are of average thickness and look a little messy. They’re pretty much straight, but have a slight curve towards the tail ends. She’s considered shaving these off though. They’re a little lower on her face? Closer to her eyes and it makes them look dark in the sunlight if she isn’t angling her head upwards

Hair:

She has dark brown hair, but you can see a little red tint in the sunlight. She prefers to keep it short, because she thinks she looks weird if it’s long (e.g., she’ll think it makes her face look wider). Definitely cuts it herself and justifies it by saying something along the lines of ‘I’m going to hate it if a professional does it, so I may as well hate it for free’ lmao. I’d say it’s thick, but gets thinned out a bit as she cuts it. If she kept it long, her head would most likely get sweaty in warm weather. It’s more wavy than curly

Race: No fantasy elements here, only Human

Nationality/Ethnicity: Haven’t decided where she’s from yet. I think she’s just European?

Other physical traits: Has some tattoos. Not very noticeable, but that might change when I decide on what I actually want them to be lol. Has a few ear piercings

Preferred Outfits:

Long sleeves 100%. She doesn’t want people to see the marks on her body and she just doesn’t want to acknowledge that she has a body at all really. Lots of her clothes are pretty shapeless. Dark colours, loose shirts and jackets. She wears jeans mostly. Kind of cycles through the same outfits day-by-day if she changes at all. If she’s going out somewhere, like a party or nightclubbing, then she’ll definitely wear much more colour. Yellows, reds, maybe blues and greens. Likes to wear fun coloured glasses with her outfits. She prefers to colour coordinate and is oddly fashion conscious given how she usually dresses. She fantasizes about all the things she could wear if she weren’t self-conscious; thigh highs, skirts, cropped shirts, more accessories, etc.

Family background: Kind of strained? Not terrible, but she doesn’t feel close to her family at all really. Left home as early as she could and only regrets it a little lol

General History:

I guess she could be described as mentally unwell? She was very heavily controlled and monitored throughout her childhood and adolescence. She’s pretty paranoid as a result but tends to engage in a lot of impulsive and dangerous decisions as a maladaptive coping mechanism to kind of counteract these thoughts. She’ll pick up strangers on the road and drive them wherever, walk up to sketchy looking people late at night and start conversations with them, overspend what little money she has online, take whatever pills she finds interesting and other activities of that general nature. She was raised with a lot of boundaries and so decided when she left that she was going to whatever she fancied really

Talents and Skills:

She’s pretty good with people. She’s spoken to lots of strangers from lots of different backgrounds and has developed a keen intuition. I think she would just be easy to get along with in general since she’s really open-minded and probably looks a little naïve. She’s funny (because she doesn’t really filter what she says, so some of the things that come out of her mouth are a little surprising?) and comes from a turbulent background and this probably puts people at ease around her too (or at least people who aren’t that well off either).

Intelligence: 

She definitely has the capacity to be smart, but just doesn’t think through a lot of her decisions unless she feels like she has to. Very impulsive, has a relatively short attention span and honestly her brain’s physicality (this is not the phrasing I want to use lmao) has likely suffered as a result of substances. So in terms of book smarts I’d give her a strong 6 out of 10, not dumb, but I wouldn’t cheat off of her lol. Street wise? Great person to go to for advice. She’s very familiar with specific types of people and what she should be looking out for when walking around. Definitely knows how to defend herself very well and can see through most people like glass. Not the kind of person you’d be successful at ripping off

MBTI: Maybe an ENTP? I think she’s a little more introverted, so potentially an INTP/INFP, but I’m not good at typing so I’ll leave it up to interpretation

Maturity: Very similar to the intelligence, has the experiences necessary to pin her as a mature person and can definitely make very rationally thought out decisions if she wants to, but just doesn’t. She’s just very reckless and disinterested in her own general wellbeing

Sexual Orientation: Either bisexual or pansexual. I haven’t decided if she has any preferences yet

Philosophy/Values: I really don’t think she values much, but her actions dictate that she very much enjoys her freedom seeing as she didn’t get a lot of it growing up. Would panic in a situation where she doesn’t have any will and would probably try to talk her way out of it or fight.

[nosowoso]

41, 48, 92

41) last person you texted? The last person that texted me was @uswnt-has-my-heart because she was sending me answers to my homework (I need help lmao) but the last person I texted was my dad (🤮)

48) If you were a fruit, what kind would you be? This is the greatest thing I’ve ever been asked, just letting you know. But probably a banana because I bruise easily and am not very straight.

92) lamps, overhead lights, sunlight, or fairy lights? Sunlight because I’m Vitamin D deficient and don’t want to disappoint my doctor during my visit this month (but actually fairy lights because they’re lowkey and don’t hurt my eyes).

[a-zebra-n-her-servicedog-toad]

As all of you know if you don’t know by now I have a connective tissue disorder called Ehlers Danlos syndrome. I myself have referred to it as the “junk drawer disorder” due to the long list of comorbidities or conditions you can have a long with the primary condition. The definition of Comorbidity noun or plural noun: comorbidities Is the simultaneous presence of two chronic diseases or conditions in a patient.

When I discuss my medical issues many times it’s actually these “comorbidities” I am talking about. Although the majority of my medical issues can be explained by my genetic disease called Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. The majority of the time when I discuss my medical issues I get the looks of disbelief or some have even asked “do you really have all these problems?” The answer to that is simple, it’s yes!

So I decided I’ll list only the comorbidities that I have confirmed diagnoses (dxd) of. During the next couple of months I will discuss these medical problems in more detail.

These are not in any specific order. The list is a Semi-common Comorbidities (Unofficial) list. It's how the article labels it and I think it’s smart to label it this way. Mainly because there currently isn’t any statistics, how common these comorbidities are among EDS patients. The original list can be found at the website at the bottom of this post.

9 Nutrient Deficiencies Making You Crave Junk — What Your Body Really Wants Instead

We seem to always crave food that is high in sugar and fat, yet we never find ourselves craving a huge bowl of broccoli. What gives?

Craving certain foods is a multifaceted experience. There’s a cognitive component and an emotional component – aka “I am having a terrible day so I want to go home and eat my bodyweight in fro-yo.” And there’s even a physiological factor: you literally feel good after you eat certain foods.

It turns out cravings aren’t totally our fault. In fact, research suggests that many cravings are often a cry from our body, letting us know that it is seriously lacking in several key vitamins, nutrients, and minerals. These things help to regulate appetite, mood, hunger levels and cravings.

It’s not that our body desperately needs a piece of chocolate cake, we just misinterpret what our body is crying out for. Cravings, poor mood and stubborn weight issues can indicate psychological roots, specific nutrient needs, and/or vitamin deficiencies.

For every gram of sugar you consume, your body uses between 28-53 molecules of magnesium.

Certain food cravings can be triggered by specific moods. We all crave comfort foods when we are stressed out, lonely or sad. This has been linked to alterations in our gut microbiome, dysregulated cortisol levels and a low level of serotonin. (4) Research even found that highly stressed individuals report having more cravings than non-stressed individuals. (5)

The next time a craving strikes, pay attention to what the actual craving is. Do you notice that every time you have a bad day at work you rush home to eat ice cream? Do you have emotional triggers that cause you to overindulge? This self-reflection will help you control your cravings and make healthier choices on tough days.

Here are nine common nutrient deficiencies that might be at the root of your cravings:

Calcium

The Nutrient: We need calcium for more than strong bones; we need the mineral for nerve impulses, blood clotting, and for our heart to pump blood. Every cell in the body requires calcium and our body has very tight control of how much calcium is in the blood at any time. Our body will actually pull calcium from our bones when our blood levels drop or we experience pH changes in the body.

While many people think milk is a great source of calcium, it’s difficult to absorb calcium from dairy. Up to 75 percent of the population experiences lactose intolerance, meaning they lack the enzyme necessary to digest lactose. Stress, intense exercise, and too much sugar can all deplete your calcium stores.

Signs of a Deficiency: If you find yourself craving sodas, carbonated drinks and even dairy this could be a sign you need more calcium.

What To Eat:

Increase your intake of plant-based calcium sources such as 6):

Dark leafy greens

Turnip greens

Broccoli

Kale,

Celery.

Pumpkin seeds

Brazil nuts

Almonds

Asparagus

Coconut meat.

For non-plant sources, try:

Sardines

Salmon

Tuna

Magnesium

The Nutrient: Known as our relaxation mineral, magnesium contributes to nearly 700 enzyme and biochemical processes in the body. Our body has roughly 3,500 different binding sites for magnesium in our cells.

Up to 80 percent of the population is deficient in magnesium. It’s easily depleted in times of chronic stress, extreme exercise, during menstruation and when we consume sugar. In fact, for every gram of sugar you consume, your body uses between 28-53 molecules of magnesium.

Magnesium acts like a gate keeper for calcium, as it allows calcium to be excreted from our cells in response to various stressors. Calcium acts as an excitatory molecule, while magnesium acts as a calming molecule. Having imbalances in these minerals can lead to issues with our mood.

Signs of a Deficiency: If you find yourself having intense cravings for sugar and feel fatigued and sore, you may need more magnesium. This is true as well if you experience muscle twitches and cramps, depressed mood, and anxiety.

What To Eat (7, 8):

Dark chocolate (be sure it is organic with at least 70% cocoa content and no added sugar)

Avocados

Raw cacao

Cashews

Almonds

Pumpkin seeds

Sesame seeds

Dark leafy greens such as spinach, kale and broccoli.

Zinc

The Nutrient: Zinc is a part of at least 3,000 different proteins in your body and is involved in more than 200 different enzymes. In fact, zinc is involved in more enzymatic reactions in your body than any other mineral. Its highest concentrations are in your hippocampus, which deals with memory and mood.

This key mineral is important for our immune system, cellular growth, sleep, skin, insulin regulation, hormone balance and mood support. The body has no special storage capacity for zinc, so it is important to consume zinc-rich foods on a regular basis.

Zinc plays a role in modulating the brain and body’s response to stress and has been linked to depression. Under times of extreme stress, we get rid of zinc at higher rates through our urine, sweat and saliva. (9, 10)

The Signs of a Deficiency: If you suffer from GI distress, experience low moods, have extreme PMS, have high stress or take antacids and OTCs you likely could benefit from more zinc.

What To Eat:

Oysters

Shellfish

Salmon

Grass-fed meat

Pasture-raised chicken

Unsweetened dark chocolate

Pumpkin seeds

Spinach

Almonds

Omega-3

The Nutrient: Omega-3 fatty acids are known as essential fatty acids. Our bodies cannot make them on their own, so they must either be obtained through our diet or through supplements.

Signs of a Deficiency: Cravings for sweet, fatty foods, cheese and carbohydrates can be a sign of omega-3 deficiencies, as well as having poor mood and brain fog. (11)

What To Eat:

Essential fatty acids can be divided into three types: ALA, EPA and DHA, all of which can be found in:

Wild caught fish, such as tuna, salmon, and sardines.

Walnuts

Flax seeds

Hemp seeds

Chia seeds

Some algae such as spirulina.

Vitamin B12

The Nutrient: Roughly one in four Americans are deficient in Vitamin B12, a vitamin associated with memory, mood, energy and red blood cell health. Vitamin B12 is our largest vitamin and requires a good amount of stomach acid and a protein, called intrinsic factor, to break it down and absorb it. This is likely why so many people have suboptimal levels of this key vitamin.

Vitamin B12 can only be obtained from animal sources, as plant sources of B12 are in the analog form, which cannot be absorbed by the body. Methylcobalamin is the active form of B12 that the body can use, which can be found in methyl B-12 supplements or animal sources of B12. (12)

Signs of a Deficiency: If you have low energy, find yourself craving meat, suffer from anemia, or find yourself bruising easily, you likely could benefit from getting more B12 in your diet.

What To Eat:

This is a case where you want to eat what you crave. Increase your intake of:

Organic grass-fed meat

Venison

Veal

Bison

Pasture-raised chicken, turkey and eggs

Folate

The Nutrient: Also known as Vitamin B9, folate is the active form of folic acid that is necessary to support cardiovascular health, cellular health and cognitive health. With up to 40 to 60 percent of the population having the genetic variant for the MTHFR gene, consuming folate-rich foods, as opposed to synthetic folic acid, is necessary for overall health.

Methyl Folate is the biologically active form of Vitamin B9. It is also the form that is transported across membranes into peripheral tissues, particularly across the blood brain barrier. Methyl folate is used in the methylation process, which contributes to DNA health, detoxification pathways, and cell health.

Signs of a Deficiency: Natural dietary folate is found in food, while Folic acid is the synthetic form of B9 required to be added into processed grains. (13) If you crave processed grains, you may need more folate. This is also true if you have a history of cardiovascular disease, miscarriages, or experience fatigue, low energy, loss of appetite, anemia and have changes in mood and irritability.

What To Eat:

Dark leafy greens such as spinach and arugula

Beets

Bell peppers

Cauliflower

Asparagus

Broccoli

Lentils

Avocados

Okra

Brussels sprouts.

Vitamin D

The Nutrient: Also known as the sunshine vitamin, Vitamin D acts as a pro-regulatory hormone in the body, influencing over 2,000 genes. When our skin is exposed to the sun, Vitamin D produces compounds that support healthy moods.

With up to 70 percent of the population being deficient in Vitamin D, it is no surprise that our mood, cravings and even our immune health can be affected by having low levels of this vital vitamin. Scientists found that people with low vitamin D symptoms are 11 times more prone to be depressed than those who had normal levels. (14)

Signs of a Deficiency: If you find yourself getting sick a lot, having poor mood, bone loss, back pain and feel tired and fatigued you likely have low vitamin D levels.

What To Eat:

Fatty fish, such as tuna, mackerel and salmon,

Beef liver

Egg yolks

Note: Getting outside and playing in the sun can be a great way to increase your Vitamin D levels, but be sure to expose roughly 70 percent of your skin as close to solar noon as possible.

Selenium

The Nutrient: Selenium is an antioxidant-rich essential trace mineral that works in conjunction with other enzymes and proteins in the body. Selenoprotein S in particular is involved in the protection against cellular stress and regulating the release of pro-inflammatory cytokine release.

Adequate selenium levels are essential for not only proper immune function, but also for regulating excessive immune response (found at the root cause of several autoimmune diseases), chronic inflammation and protecting cells against free radical damage. (15)

Signs of a Deficiency: A decline in cognitive health, thyroid functioning and immune health, as well as heart disease and infertility may be signs of a selenium deficiency. If you find yourself excessively tired, as well as craving salty foods you could benefit from increasing your selenium intake.

What To Eat:

Brazil nuts

Garlic

Tuna

Nori

Seaweed

Sunflower seeds

Turkey

Lentils

Spinach.

Antioxidants

The Nutrient: Antioxidants are categorized as either fat soluble or water soluble. However, your body needs both to protect your cells from oxidative damage and free radical damage.

Antioxidants help rid the body of dangerous oxidative products by converting them into hydrogen peroxide, then into water. This is done through a multi-step process that requires a variety of trace minerals, such as zinc, copper, manganese, and iron, which are found in foods that are rich in antioxidants.

Signs of a Deficiency: If you have low energy levels, crave sweets, seem irritable and have general low immune function you can benefit from getting more antioxidants into your diet.

What To Eat:

Organic fruits and berries

Chlorophyll-rich vegetables

Lemons and limes

Grapefruits

Tart cherries

Sulfur-rich veggies like onions, garlic, broccoli, cauliflower, and broccoli sprouts.

CoQ10-rich foods, such as grass-fed beef, liver, sardines and mackerel.

Physical therapy: Heat and cold therapy can be very effective in treating muscle cramps. Apply ice on the affected muscle to relieve pain. Heating pads and warm towels relax the tightened muscles.

The storm

I’m tired.

Of course you are, you just got back from Japan. You have jet lag.

Why have I been sweating so much in my sleep?

It’s really humid in Japan. In D.C, too. That’s not that weird.

Why do I bleed so much when I floss?

You didn’t do a great job at flossing while you were in Japan. Your gums are just a little sensitive.

I’ve been bruising really easily.

Probably just a vitamin B deficiency. Not a big deal. Eat more fish.

But I’ve been eating so much fish...

Shhh...

On Wednesday, July 5th, I went to my doctor. “You look tired,” she told me.

“Yeah, I didn’t sleep very well. You know, all the fireworks.”

“Oh sure, sure.”

We talked about the things I had been feeling. She seemed unconcerned.

“I’m sure it’s just all the traveling. You might be a little anemic too, but... we can do some blood work, just in case, if you want. I want to check your vitamin D levels anyway, so we can do it at the same time.”

I shrugged. “Whatever you think is best, I don’t mind.”

“Let’s do it. I’ll get your paperwork ready.”

Man, the site where the nurse took the blood work is still bleeding...

She probably blew the vein. Just put a new bandage.

On Thursday, I went to the dentist. I had never had any cavities before, but this time I left with a few fillings, and half my face totally numb. I checked my phone and saw that I had missed a few calls from a number that I did not recognize. 

By the time I got home, the number had called two more times. I finally decided to answer, even though I was still drooling blood and slurring. 

It was my doctor.

“I’m so sorry that I don’t have time to bring you into the office to tell you in person. But we don’t have time. Are you sitting down?”

I wasn’t. “Yesh.”

“You need to go to the James emergency room right now.”

Anyone who lives in Columbus or has grown up here knows exactly what the James is and what this means. “Auhh.”

“Your bloodwork suggests that you have leukemia.”

I sat down. 

I got a post-it note and numbly wrote down words and numbers I didn’t understand. I called my girlfriend as I quickly shoved clothes into a bag, and then I left.

“No, I promise I’m not here for a stroke.” I chuckle-slurred when I walked up to the emergency room desk, pointing at my still drooping face. “I think I have cancer?”

The nurse blinked at me. “O-oh. Okay, let’s get you checked in...”

I have AML. It’s an aggressive form of leukemia, so we’re being similarly aggressive with treatment. I’ve got my powerline hooked up to a vein in my heart, I’ve done my first bone marrow biopsy (wOW that pull is no joke) and I’ve started chemotherapy. 

I know I have a lot of things going for me. I’m young, I’m healthy, my heart is strong and I don’t have any infections. This could have been so, so much worse. I could have passed out in Japan. My doctor could have not done those labs.

The James Cancer Hospital is really one of the best places in the world. I have a great team that I like a lot. It’s not fun, to be sure, but hopefully it’ll just be a passing memory one day.

Some Emerging Answers For Intelligent Products Of Iso Xp Whey Protein

Some Simple Guidance On Fundamental Criteria For New Zealand Grass Fed Whey Protein Canada

However, it does contain the aforementioned whey protein (non-grass-fed), magnesium oxide, and very small amounts of B vitamins that are essentially useless in the given dose (0.5-1mg). In "other ingredients,” organic cane sugar is the first on the list (meaning there’s a good amount of it), and Stevia appears as well. So exactly how much powdered corn, soy, and canola oil do you want to ingest on a daily basis? All three of these ingredients are part of Soylent Powder . The process of making oil into a powder requires maltodextrin, which is a high-glycemic artificial sweetener typically derived from corn. It is championed for its easy absorbability, but that means it’s going straight into your bloodstream, which may beget a rollercoaster of spiked blood sugar, insulin secretion, stress hormone release, and the eventual crash. As for the rest of its 40 ingredients, Soylent contains several synthetic vitamins, which are essentially watered-down versions of the real thing—only half as active and less absorbable. Also listed in the ingredients are sodium ascorbate and thiamine hydrochloride. Though natural, they are the less expensive forms of vitamins with low bioavailability, meaning that our bodies don’t absorb them very well. Soylent also contains other cheap additives (soluble corn fiber, and mono and diglycerides that may contain trans fats ), as well as 7 grams of added sugar, and soy lecithin, which may be a concern to those worried about food-based estrogens. If the goal is to thrive, it’s safe to say that this drink would not be our first choice. When it comes to Shakeology and Isagenix, many—I think we can hazard to say most—of the folks selling these products do not have a background in nutrition. As is typical with multi-level marketing companies, sellers often have unrelated full-time jobs and use the supplement business as part-time income.

Tips To Establishing Your Personal Fitness Goals!

Increasing your fitness and health is a fantastic goal. It can be intimidating, especially if you are poor shape right now, but fitness is attainable. The ideas and tips in the article below will set you on the road towards achieving your fitness goals. You will feel better about yourself and be healthier. Lifting weights is one way that people try to become fit. You really don't need all that equipment to stay in shape, however. Just doing pushups, handstand pushups, leg raises, squats, bridges and pullups is enough to keep you fit. Get an exercise regimen that works for your body, and it will be easy to stay at it. If you choose something you enjoy, you'll be excited to work out. Doing some simple pushups can be a great way to tone up triceps. But not the standard push-up, if you turn your hands with the fingers facing towards each other, it will target the triceps. Those triceps will melt like butter then harden like stone beneath the stress of these high-quality push-ups. Change up your workout regiment by doing various exercises. This will help avoid routine in your fitness plan and keep you motivated to come back to your workout the next day. Your body also needs variety so that you don't cause a stall in your results due to your body finding the same exercises too easy. Strong thighs are important to prevent knee injuries. Tearing a ligament in back of the kneecap is a sports injury that occurs quite frequently. Exercising both the hamstrings and quads will ensure knee safety. Leg extensions and curls are great exercises to accomplish this. You can use wall sits to build up your leg muscles. The first thing you must do is find a wall with enough room for you to squat against. Stand approximately a foot and a half away from the wall. Lean back with your knees bent until the length of your back meets the wall. Continue lowering yourself toward the ground by bending your knees until you reach a position that mimics the act of sitting in a chair. Hold this position until you cannot stand it anymore.

Tips For Deciding On Aspects In Whey Protein New Zealand Canada

A lot of whey protein powders are low in some or most of these, but very, very few tick as many boxes as Xwerks Grow. Note that while it’s free from a lot of allergens, it doesn’t come with any digestive enzymes, so if you have trouble digesting powdered protein this might not be the best pick. The unfortunate side effect of a whey that’s free of lecithin or any other products designed to artificially improve mixability is that — no surprise — the mixability isn’t great. It’s not terrible, but there’s no shortage of granules in a shaker cup and it settles quite quickly after mixing. I tried the chocolate flavor, and it tastes fantastic with milk. I’ve had a lot of protein powders that try to taste good in both milk and water, with the end result being a product that’s often too sweet for milk. Xwerks is great with milk (you can tell it’s sweetened naturally) but alas, it’s bland with water. That’s to be expected in a product without anything artificial to give it a creamy, milky taste in water. It’s tough to make a protein powder that pleases everyone. If it’s all-natural, it won’t mix well and probably won’t taste great with water. If it mixes great with anything, the cons will focus on the artificial ingredients. What matters here is what you, the individual, prioritize in your protein. If you’re not concerned with whether or not a protein powder is “all natural” and are primarily concerned with drinking something that tastes great, mixes well, and isn’t too expensive, you won’t be thrilled by Xwerks Grow.

The next set should be weights that are heavy enough that you can only complete 6 to 8 reps. Your third set should be completed with an additional five pounds. Before starting a bench workout, examine the padding of the bench by pressing down your fingers on the cushion. If the wood is easily palpable beneath the padding, choose an alternate machine. A bench with stingy padding will not give you correct support, leading to possible bruising or even worse injuries. Avoid referring to your fitness program as working out or exercising. Using those words can make you become less motivated. When you go and exercise, instead call it running or cycling.

Scheduling your day is critical in finding time to exercise and also planning your meals. If you don't plan, you are more likely to make poor choices. If you figure out your schedule beforehand, you can pack yourself healthy meals and plan workout times. You can make your workouts more interesting with television workouts. Investigate fitness-focused television channels or use on-demand services to find workout shows. Your exercise sessions will prove faster time to pass and more mentally engaging when you don't know what the next episode brings. If your TV network does not air fitness shows, look for videos and exercise routines online. Figure out a goal for arm workouts. To build muscle mass, lift heavier weights. If your goal is overall fitness, you can get away with smaller weights and more repetitions, which helps with muscle endurance. There are a lot of different things you can do to stay active and on top of it. What is important is finding what works best for your situation. Make it fun and flexible for your schedule so you look forward to it. Discovering more about fitness keeps it interesting.

He considered expanding to new EVs but found local dealers could not promise timely delivery. “The situation is such that new EVs are next to impossible to get your hands on,” MacGregor told Automotive News Canada. “Yes, you can pre-order them. Good luck. You’re probably going to wait a year before you get one.” Vancouver’s Regency Volkswagen began taking pre-orders for its 20-unit allotment of e-Golfs last September but quit a month later under instructions from VW Canada. Only 10 arrived, said co-owner Patrick Zhang. Regency was told to submit orders for confirmed sales, said Zhang, but was told it might take more than a year to fill them. VW Canada spokesman Thomas Tetzlaff confirmed the company stopped taking orders but said production hasn’t ceased and Canada expects to get three times last year’s allocation. “We are doing what we can to get sold orders built as soon as possible, and have made our customers aware of the wait times via our consumer website,” he said. In Vancouver, the gap between rising EV demand and the ability buy or even test-drive one has caught the attention of the municipal government.
