#vitamine B

[veggiechannel]

Le vitamine B sono importanti per la nostra salute, ma dove trovarle negli alimenti vegetali e soprattutto come assimilarle veramente? Facciamo chiarezza.

after an inconclusive MRI i begged my doctor for full bloodwork because i still don't know what's wrong with me. first half of the results show an insanely low white blood cell count, so now i get to feel sweaty and anxious while i wait for the rest of the results to tell me if i have some kind of vitamin deficiency causing that or something Worse 👍

23andme did indeed send me an email like "oopsie whoopsie we let your DNA profile get leaked and now you're proooobably on a White Supremacist's Jew List! hehehe butterfingers" but luckily for them everything else in my life is so on fire that I was just like "sure man add it to the pile"

(tws ahead: discussion of food, diets and diet culture, eating disorders, calorie counts, and fatphobia in the context of pregnancy)

Truly one of the most bizarre things about being pregnant has been the official advice around food. Food and eating is difficult enough already when you're pregnant - there's excellent scientific evidence that it's advisable to moderate your caffeine intake and avoid alcohol, and an entire laundry list of stuff you're supposed to avoid for food safety/food poisoning risk reasons. (I am a nerd and I read the last scientific review of the linked advice from the NZ Ministry of Health, so I can say with confidence it's also pretty well supported.) Personally, I am largely indifferent to going without alcohol, but after half a year or so my brie cravings are getting pretty intense. That's going to be even tougher for people with food restriction issues. And then there's the potential nutrient deficiencies that come when a baby is sucking up all your available iron, calcium, etcetera.

But on top of all this...a couple of things are also true:

later pregnancy and breastfeeding require a higher calorie intake because you're, uh, feeding an entire baby with your body and those calories have to come from somewhere

healthy pregnancy also requires weight gain because of the aforementioned 'growing an entire person' thing

Western Anglophone society absolutely loses its goddamn mind at the thought of telling women (and other pregnant people, but they are clearly not thinking that far) that it's okay for them to eat more than normal, let alone gain weight

So there's reams and reams of official advice which has like one line saying "maybe don't diet when you're pregnant" quickly followed by "but it's OK! you can diet afterwards! you'll lose lots of weight when you breastfeed!" and then like. eight paragraphs on how while technically, they suppose you need some extra calories during some of your pregnancy, it is DEEPLY IMPORTANT that those calories only come from the most healthy and boring possible foods, because otherwise you might gain too much weight which is the worst possible thing that could happen. Try carrot sticks! Fat-free yoghurt! Dry toast! I have literally seen advice suggesting the extra calories you need can be gained from a "small snack". Maybe an apple. (Most of the estimates I've seen about extra calorie needs in later pregnancy are in the range of 3-400 extra calories a day. That apple would have to be the size of your head.) This is all followed up with dire warnings about gestational diabetes, which is lurking in the wings waiting for any pregnant person who dares use it as justification for eating that extra biscuit. There is clearly a really deep-seated belief at play that if you give them - us - an excuse to eat more we will gorge ourselves on, IDK, chips and ice cream, because the only thing holding us back from obesity is the constant reminder that gaining weight is BAD and that eating too much food is BAD (even though the reality is that weight gain and higher caloric needs are part of a healthy pregnancy). This reality has to be held at arms' length and hemmed in with restrictions and cautions lest all hell break loose. You are very literally advised to calculate your BMI, weigh yourself regularly, and have a target weight gain - i.e. implicitly to restrict your food intake if your weight gain is higher - which I'm sure is just chill and fabulous for people with a history or present of eating disorders.

(The cherry on top of this is that it's normal for pregnant people to have suppressed appetites in late pregnancy despite needing more food because, again, there is an entire baby in there squashing their organs. Add in all those foods that you can't eat, and it can actually be somewhat challenging to eat enough.)

The bit that haunts me is that we know that caloric restriction during pregnancy makes children more likely to have higher weights later on, and you know who is most targeted with this diet-but-don't-diet-but-actually-kinda-do rhetoric? Fat people, who are advised to gain at absolute most about the weight of a healthy full-term baby + amniotic fluid/placenta/etc - and that it's fine if they gain much less weight than that, barely more than the weight of a healthy baby, which would actually equate to total weight loss. During pregnancy. It feels like there could be a lot of self-fulfilling prophecy going on here vis a vis fat parents having fat kids. which is now sometimes characterised as a form of child abuse. FUN.

Anyway, I am sure I'm not the only person to have made these observations (and if you know good writing on this topic I'd love to be linked to it, because I'm way too chicken to try Googling) but man. As I said at the start: the level at which fatphobia and diet culture are institutionalised during pregnancy, to the detriment of actual health, is wild.

(For my money, sane advice would be 'healthy eating advice is the same during pregnancy as it is other times except for the specific foods you should avoid because of increased food poisoning risk, and you need to eat a bit more in later pregnancy. The end.')

Jaune: Yang, you might wanna slow down.... You're out eating Nora, and that's a statement in itself...

Nora: (groaning in belly ache)

Yang: Sorry, gotta bulk up for the Justice League part 2 crossover. Just gonna finish this up and hit the gym. (Pounds the rest of her protein shake and picks up Blake with one arm)

Yang: Can't forget my daily dose of vitamin B!

Blake: (blushing) EEP!!!

Cigarettes are healthy in low doses. The smoke transports essential B vitamins into your bloodstream 18x more efficiently than food.

my mom’s blood clots were caused by a raised level of homocysteine, which is an amino acid that just naturally builds up in your body from biological processes, but too high of levels can cause heart trouble and blood problems including clots. too high of levels are (usually) caused by a deficiency of b vitamins; your body breaks homocysteine down and makes use of it that way. my mom has never had the best diet, nor has she really been that much of a meat-eater despite how much she likes my cooking.

my stepdad’s mom had a melanoma on her back that metastasized and killed her in like a month. she was a vegan—outside of supplements, you get your b vitamins primarily from animal products, namely meat, eggs, and anything dairy based.

now, i’m not saying that everyone who’s a vegan is going to be prone to skin cancer or blood diseases because some people take it way better than others (nor am i saying that veganism isn’t healthy because some of the best things i’ve eaten and made were vegan), but i won’t hold my breath for anyone who tries to tell me that veganism is a cure-all for all the world’s problems because it’s not. if anything, expect to hear, down the line, about all these “enlightened” people who went vegan or vegetarian (especially later in life, like it’s one thing when you became vegan because you didn’t like the taste of meat when you were a young kid) to start having problems with their skin or blood—or their bones as your b vitamins help preserve your bones about as much as calcium.

Raph needs bifidobacteria

Raph should check mushrooms in his body. And quality of food he takes. He feels like in a constant first-day menstruation period. Irritated. Maybe he has cramps too. He might have poor food intake(or lack of food) or mushrooms in tum-tum or lower, like, below the belt part.

Between Gary, Angel and Rocky, who's more likely to start panicking once Avocato/Husk/Mordecai says that "The baby is coming!"? Lol

Gary 🗿I don't know, I feel like Avocato tried to prepare him so he wouldn't panic, mentioning that things usually go well without much difficulty and stuff like that.

But NO, Gary will immediately go crazy. For a few minutes of course, Avocato threatened to knock him out if he didn't calm down :3 (empty threat but he was stressing him out)
