Nutrition You Need As a Vegetarian!

If you're a vegetarian, or just don't like the taste of meat, it's important to know to add certain nutritional values to your diet, or you may end up being malnourished in some way. So, to keep your body and mind healthy, check that your daily intake covers them all!

Calcium

Calcium, as you probably know, helps build bones and teeth (which are also bones) as well as helping the neurons in your body to transfer messages to the muscles. Fish are an excellent source of calcium, but if you're vegetarians, you can get this essential mineral from dairy products, enriched soy products, nuts, legumes and green vegetables, broccoli, okra and cabbage.

Iodine

Iodine is essential for your metabolism, as in converting material into energy, as well as the normal functioning of the thyroid gland. It is usually found in sea fruit and so many vegetarians suffer a lack. Vegetarian sources include cooking salt, table salt and enriched dairy products.

Iron

The body requires iron to make hemoglobin which carries the oxygen in the blood stream. Red meat and poultry are a great source of iron, but if you are looking for vegetarian alternatives, you can get your iron from dried fruit, legumes, seeds, vegetables and whole wheat grains and flax seeds. Take into account that when you take these with coffee, tea or cacao, their absorption rate goes down because these products contains mixtures that block the absorption of iron. This is the reason why vegetarians are advised to consume iron with sources rich in vitamin C, such as oranges, peppers, strawberries and guavas, which markedly improve its absorption.

Omega 3

DHA and EPA are two type of the omega 3 fatty acid, and they are important to the development of both the eyes and the brain, as well as keeping your heart healthy and ticking. Omega 3 is mainly found in fatty fish, like salmon and tuna, but can also be consumed from vegetarian sources such as flax seeds, walnuts, canola oil, flax oil, soy oil and soy products. Some types of energy bars also have omega 3 in them.

Protein

Every cell in our body contains protein, and we need it in order to fix cell damage, build tissues, grow hair, fingernails and bones. Protein is in almost every food we eat, and so there's a large variety of vegetarian sources: Soy, beans, bran, lentils, chickpeas, seeds, almonds and eggs to name a few.

Vitamin B12

Vitamin B12 helps produce red blood cells and DNA, and is required for the neurological functioning of the body. It is found naturally in meat, but is also added to foods like soy milk and energy bars, and can also be found in eggs and various cheeses like yellow cheese, mozzarella cheese, pate cheese, cottage and eggs.

Vitamin D

Vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium and is important to bone health, as well as serving an important function in the nervous system, the muscle system and the immune system. The body makes vitamin D when the skin is exposed to the sun, but modern living as well as cloudy environments, don't always allow enough exposure. Vegetarian sources for vitamin D include: Milk and enriched soy milk, certain mushrooms, banana and avocado.

Zinc

Zinc is extremely important if you want a functioning immune system and body cells. Although it can be found a-plenty in beef, you can also consume it from soy products, peanuts, hummus, pine nuts, walnuts, almonds, wheat germ, oatmeal and a variety of legumes, if in smaller concentrations.

[www.keralites.net] Things You Didn’t Know About Your Eyes..

Things You Didn't Know About Your Eyes...

Few people could argue that without our 5 senses life would be pretty

dull.

All our senses are extremely important but I think if you asked most

people which sense would they least like to lose they would probably

say their vision.

As with most of our abilities, our vision is something that many of us

take for granted.

If you stop and think for a moment, you will realize that just about

everything we do in our day to day life involves our vision. During

this article I am going to try and see if I can get you to start thinking a

little bit more about your eyes.

Listed below is my top 10 list of weird and wonderful things you

didn't know about your eyes

10. Everyone needs reading glasses as they get older .....

This is assuming that you already have perfect distance vision.

If you are currently reading this article and are under 40 years of age

with perfect distance vision, I can say with absolute certainty that you

will need reading glasses at some point in the future.

For about 99% of the population the age that you will first start

needing reading glasses is between 43 and 50 years old.

This is because the lens in your eye slowly loses its focusing ability

with age.

In order to focus things near to you, your lens has to change from a flat to a more spherical shape and it loses the ability to do this as you get older.

As you get to around 45 years old you will start to hold things further away from you to keep them focus.

9. The lens in your eye is quicker than any camera lens...

Just behind the pupil sits the eyes natural lens, whose function is to

focus on the object you are looking at.

Just take a minute to glance around the room and think about how

many different distances you are focusing at.

Every time you do this, the lens in your eye is instantly changing

focus without you even being aware of it !!

Compare that with a camera lens which takes a few seconds to focus

between one distance and another.

Just be thankful that the lens in your eye is as quick as it is, otherwise

things would be continually going in and out of focus.

8. Your eyes are fully developed by the age of 7 years old ....

By the age of 7 years old our eyes are fully developed and are

physiologically the same as adult's eyes.

It is for this reason that it is vitally important to pick up a lazy

eye before we reach this age.

The earlier a lazy eye is diagnosed, the greater the chance it will

respond to treatment, as the eyes are still developing and capable of

an improvement in vision.

Beyond 7 years old no amount of treatment will result in any

improvement in vision.

7. You blink approximately 15,000 times each day ...

Blinking is a semi-involuntary function meaning we do it

automatically, but can also choose to blink if we so require.

Blinking is an extremely important function of your eyes as it helps

remove any debris on the surface of your eye, by spreading fresh

tears over them.

These tears help to nourish your eyes with oxygen and also have

important bacterial properties.

You can think of the function of blinking as being similar to the action

of the windscreen wipers on your car, cleaning and removing

everything to keep you seeing clearly.

6. Everyone gets cataracts as they get older ...

People don't realize that cataracts are just a normal consequence of

getting older and everyone gets them at some point in their life.

You can think of cataracts as being similar to getting grey hair, in that it is just a normal natural age change.

The average age people first get cataracts is about aged 70 years old

and by 80 years old you are guaranteed to have cataracts.

In the same way that you could not find any aged 80 years old without

grey hair, it would be equally impossible to find anyone over 80 years

old without cataracts.

Cataracts refer to a gradual clouding of the lens in your eye and

typically take about ten years from onset to them needing treatment.

5. Diabetes is often first detected during an eye test ...

People who suffer from type 2 diabetes (the type you develop later in

life) are often symptom free, meaning they often don't even know that

they have it.

This type of diabetes is commonly picked up during an eye test as it

can be seen as tiny hemorrhages from leaking blood vessels at the

back of your eye.

This certainly is good reason to get your eyes tested regularly.

4. You see with your brain and not your eyes ...

The function of your eyes is to collect all the required information

about the object you are looking at.

This information is then passed from your eye to the brain via the

optic nerve.

It is the brain (visual cortex) where all this information is analyzed to

enable you to 'see' the object in its finished form.

This is not to say that your eyes don't play an important role as they

certainly do.

3. Your eyes can adapt to blind spots in your vision ...

Certain eye conditions such as Glaucoma and certain

general health conditions such as having a stroke, can lead to you

developing blind spots in your vision.

This would be extremely debilitating if it wasn't for your brain and

your eyes ability to adapt to make these blind spots disappear.

It does this by suppressing the blind spot in your affected eye and

letting your other good eye 'fill in the gaps'.

It is adaptation like this that makes your eyes so resilient.

2. 20:20 vision is not the best vision you can have ...

When people hear the phrase 20:20 vision they assume that this is the

best vision possible.

However this is not true as 20:20 vision refers to what the average

adult should be able to see.

If you imagine a typical eye test chart the 20:20 vision is probably only

the line second from the bottom.

The line below it is even smaller than 20:20 vision and would mean

you have 20:16 vision.

So don't be so impressed next time someone tells you they have 20:20

vision!

1. Your eyes water when they are dry ...

I know this might sound crazy but this is one of strange facts about

your eyes.

Your tears are made up of 3 different components and they are water,

mucus and fat.

If these 3 components are not in exactly the right quantities, your eye

can become dry as a consequence.

Your brain responds to this dryness by producing extra water and

hence your eyes water.
