Do we need vitamin supplements?

Look at the television advertisements. Calcium and vitamin D is the must for women. Is it right? Think of your teeth and bones. Take calcium and vitamin D. I know many women who take it. They are afraid of osteoporosis. We need most of the vitamins in very small quantities. Vitamins are like pesticides. They are not dangerous in small amounts, but very dangerous in high amounts.

Take for example vitamin D. You can get enough from milk, dairy products, fish and sunlight. In small quantities vitamin D protects from cancer. If we take too much it is a risk factor for pancreatic cancer. Very high amounts of vitamin D can damage kidneys.

This is the reason why I tell you to be careful with vitamin supplements. We know about pure synthetic beta carotene. In smokers beta-carotene increases the risk of lung cancer.

Excess vitamin A can cause jaundice.

Excess vitamin C can cause kidney stones. It cannot be an antioxidant it can be a pro-oxidant. Never forget in nature in fruits we have not only the vitamins but also several other phytochemicals that are very important for our health.

Excess vitamin E can make problems with blood clotting.

What is my advice then? Vitamins are very important for our health. But they must come from our food and not as supplements.

Consult with your dietician and he could tell you whether you need a vitamin supplement or not. Even if you need a vitamin supplement you must take it only for a particular time. Slowly you must change your food habits so that you get yyou get your vitamins from your food.

If you need counseling come to me and we see what do you need and what not. It is very bad if the industry makes its billions and you have health problems.

I have estimated thousands of blood samples. Mostly we have seen deficits in vitamin B1, B6, B12 and folic acid. We have never seen deficits in vitamin A or vitamin E or vitamin C.

Must I eat the costly fruits or fruit products to be healthy?

This is a very good question. Fruits are very important for our health. 4 to 5 servings a day can reduce the risk of many diseases which kills hundreds of millions persons in our world. The examples are coronary heart diseases and cancer. The antioxidants present in the fruits are necessary for the detoxification of the body. Fruits play a vital role in scavenging the aggressive and dangerous oxygen and other free radicals. Many of us know this and even then not enough fruits are eaten. Others buy the costly frozen berries from a foreign country or spend huge amount of money to buy fruit powders or juices. Are they worthy for these high prices?

In our modern time we all have no time. We run the whole day and have no time even to think. The money is not the problem for many. These persons think in a different way. The advertisements in the modern media and the personal approach of persons who sell these costly products make them to think that costly products are good for their health. They buy these and regularly take them. Are they really as healthy as praised always?

Fruits are healthy not only because they have vitamin C and other antioxidants. There are more than 10000 phytochemicals are already identified from the fruits and every day new substances are identified. Fruits have good fiber. Therefore, eating the ripe fruits is the best for our health. There are tens of thousands of fruits in our world if we consider the different varieties too. Only the rainforests of South America has more than 3000 fruits. The Indians who live there eat more than 2000 fruits. But, the Western world eats only 200 fruits from there. All the fruits available in our world are not analyzed completely for their nutrients and non-nutrients as few of the fruits which are marketed for high prices.

Fruits are grown throughout the world. According to the climate we get different fruits. In the same country the tropical plains have different fruits than the high mountains with their mild or cold climate. It is possible to get everywhere fruits and it is better to eat these fruits. Some of these fruits are far better than the costly fruits and fruit products. If you eat fruit you can select according to their color. They are:

• Red fruits – have nutrients such as ellagic acid, lycopene, quercetin and many others. These are good to lower blood pressure, reduce LDL-cholesterol levels, can scavenge free radicals and reduce the risk of prostate cancer. They have the power to reduce tumor growth.

• Orange / yellow fruits – contain beta-carotene, flavonoids, lycopene, vitamin C, zeaxanthin and many others. These are good to lower blood pressure, reduce LDL-cholesterol levels, can scavenge free radicals, have anti aging properties and reduce the risk of prostate cancer. They help in the formation of collagen and healthy joints. It is useful to keep the body alkaline.

• Green fruits – contain fiber, folic acid, vitamin C, lutein, beta-carotene, zeaxanthin and many others. These can reduce cancer risk, can lower blood pressure, reduce LDL-cholesterol and support digestion. They can boost immune system and good free radical scavengers.

• Blue and purple fruits – contain resveratrol, lutein, fiber, flavonoids, ellagic acid, quercetin, zeaxanthin and many others. These help to lower blood pressure, lower LDL-cholesterol, can boost immune system, support digestion, can limit the activity of cancer cells and as such act as an anticarcinogens.

• White fruits – contain betaglucans, epigallocatechin gallate, ligans that boost immune system and many others. These nutrients can also activate natural killer cells and thus reduce the risk of breast, colon and prostate cancer. These balance the hormone levels and thus reducing the risk of hormone- related cancers. Banana, brown pears, white nectarines and white peaches are few in this group.

When you go to the market you can notice the different could fruits and buy and eat them.

The healthy fruits in the Western countries include:

• Apple
• Banana
• Blackberry
• Blueberry
• Cantaloupe
• Cherry
• Cranberry
• Dried fig
• Gojiberry
• Grape
• Pink grapefruit
• Kiwi
• Mango
• Orange
• Papaya
• Peach
• Pear
• Plum
• Pineapple
• Pomegranate
• Prune
• Raspberry
• Strawberry
• Tomato
• Watermelon
It is better to eat fresh fruits. If the above fruits are not available in your place eat the local fruits and these are as good as the above.

Another important thing is the influence on our environment. If the fruits are produced in one corner of the world, processed and transported to another corner of the world the negative impact on environment is great. Use the ripe local fruits, be happy and be healthy.

Good fruits have no use if you have a bad lifestyle and take only processed, fast and junk foods. Change your lifestyle and food and the fruits can make wonder. Never forget the physical activities.

What are the healthy foods for eyes?

Eating the right and healthy food are very important for eye care. The food must contain the necessary vitamins, antioxidants and minerals. Eating the right foods can lower the risk of many eye diseases.

The important nutrients for eye health include:

• Vitamin A
• Vitamin C
• Vitamin E
• Selenium
• Zinc
• Antioxidants like lutein and zeaxanthin

A major US study has found that vitamins A, C, E, selenium and zinc can slow down the age-related macular degeneration in existing and low grade patients. Vitamins C and E may help to prevent development or to reduce the progression of cataracts.

Lutein and zeaxanthin are deposited in the eyes and these antioxidants help to scavenge or neutralize free radicals which can cause cell damage in the eyes. Overexposure to the sun’s UV radiation is a main cause of oxidative damage of the eyes. Dark coloured fruits and vegetables contain lutein and zeaxanthin and they include: spinach, kale, Brussels sprouts, kiwi fruit, mango, prunes, water melon, squash, broccoli, orange peppers, grapes, papaya, pumpkin, sweet corn, green beans, peas, oranges, peaches, sweet potatoes and dark green lettuce.

For maximum benefit eat the vegetables lightly cooked so that the cells are break down and the bioavailability of lutein and zeaxanthin is increased.

Vitamin A is rich in liver, carrots, spinach, mango, cantaloupe and kale. Vitamin C is rich in papaya, green bell pepper, oranges and in other citrus fruits, broccoli, sweet potatoes and red chilli. Plant oils are rich in Vitamin E.

Brazil nuts, ground nuts and other tropical nuts contain lot of selenium. In countries where the soil is poor in selenium many foods are enriched with this important mineral. Meat, nuts, pulses and beans are rich in zinc.

What is gout?

Gout, also called metabolic arthritis, is a complex disorder which can affect men and women, but more men are affected. Women are more susceptible to gout after menopause. Gout usually affects the large joint of your big toe, but also in your feet, joints, knees, hands and wrists. Gout is treatable and there are ways to reduce the risk also.

The symptoms are always acute, occurring suddenly at night and without any warning, intense joint pain and inflammation with swollen, tender and red joints.

Gout is caused by an accumulation of uric acid in joints, tendons, ligaments causing excruciating pain in the respective areas. The source of uric acids is:

It is our body’s natural antioxidant when food source of antioxidants are low and if necessary the body produces its own uric acid.
As a bye product of the metabolism of purine and pyrimidine bases of high protein foods and drinks

Side effects of drugs in the increase of uric acid:

If you are on diet, then uric acid is elevated and this could be used to control the persons about their diet.

The important risk factors are the intake of food that is extremely rich in proteins, e. g. persons who eat everyday three times lot of fish and the side effects of the drugs which produce excess of uric acid.

Inform your doctor everything about your other sicknesses as well as the drugs including the over-the-counter drugs because the drugs to reduce uric acid concentrations in the blood may for e. g. increase blood pressure or blood sugar as their side effects. Your doctor has to decide which drug is good in which dose.

The best life style to reduce the risk is to reduce your consumption of animal protein, avoid alcoholic beverages and drink plenty of water, four to five litres where 70% must be normal, pure drinking water.

Coffee and vitamin C can lower the uric acid level in blood, cherries can also help to reduce, it may be because these dark cherries have lot of antioxidants, and thus our body need not produce more uric acid as an antioxidant to safeguard it.

Excessive uric acid in the blood may create urate kidney stones also. It is also one of the main reasons to kidney failure.

Reply to Kanti after going through her Aaron Analysis Form and 14 days food and fluids intake...

This is for you Kanti....The Food and our Health is not accepting this huge information. This is the reason why I put this in my blog...

You have 5 kgs overweight. Although resear has not given a clear picture whether aluminium is one of the culprits for Parkinson's disease, you must avoid cooking vessels with aluminium and using aluminium foils to cover or transport food. It is applicable to rice cooker also.

Moreover, tea and cucumber have lot of aluminium. If you use this you must be careful with food that have lot of vitamin C. Vitamin C prefers aluminium than iron if aluminium is present in high concentration to take to the blood. So eat cucumber alone and do not put it with your salad where the possibility of the presence of vitamin C is high. You are now fixed to a certain type of food. If i have to write a plan it will be entirely different. There will be no or very little supplements only. So, if you are happy with your present food follow it. At the same time try to avoid the following risk factors...

Wood furnitures - what are the chemical preservatives used?

Wool carpet -

It contains pesticide in high concentration...Normally it is soaked in a pesticide solution so that the insects will not attack it. The pesticide used is permethrin which is a neurotoxic. In which room you have this. If it is in your bedromm it is the worst.

Amalgam -

if it is done properly amalgam is good teeth filling. If not it is released continuously in your mouth and is deposited in your body. The possibility of a mercury allergy is then there. You could ask your skin specialist to do the mercury skin allergy test.

What are the industries nearby? Could you tell me exactly please?

What about your detoxification system and free radical scavenging system? In your case there are many environmental questions which must be cleared or solved...After that we have to see what is left...

I have diabetes for the past six months, can I eat papaya?

Deliciously sweet with musky undertones and a soft, butter-like consistency have brought the name for papaya the “fruit of the angels” according to Christopher Columbus.

It is rich in vitamin C, folic acid, potassium, vitamins A, E, K and dietary fibre. It is rich in antioxidants.

Papaya is considered for the following conditions:

• It protects against heart diseases
• It has anti-inflammatory Effects
• It promotes digestive health
• It supports the immune system
• It protects against arthritis
• It promotes lung health
• It is a useful food against prostate cancer

Papaya has very low amount of carbohydrates, approximately 10 g in 100 g edible fruit and you can eat it.

A maximum of 200g papaya is recommended per day

I have iron deficiency, what is the relationship between iron and vitamin C?

This is a very important question, if we understand the relationship between these two lots of problems could be solved by us, I mean the iron deficiency.

We need vitamin C for the absorption of iron, so as also aluminium, moreover the transport protein is the same for iron and aluminium. That means if we have more aluminium in our meals, more aluminium is absorbed than iron and this can lead to iron deficiency, thus low haemoglobin values.

If we keep the aluminium levels in our food low and eat foods rich in iron and vitamin C, automatically more iron is absorbed and converted to haemoglobin. This is possible, if we know all the sources of aluminium in our food or also the contamination from aluminium cooking vessels and even from aluminium foils if you pack acidic foods directly in it.

Cucumber and tea are rich in aluminium. Think of rice cooker, the bowel there is aluminium so that our rice is quickly ready. Deodorants are also rich in aluminium which can enter our body through the skin.

The aluminium value of Indian human hair is found to be the highest in the world and I have examined approximately 250 Indian human hairs, most of them had low iron.

The relationship between iron and free radicals in our body

Our body needs iron to produce red blood cells and they are in charge of transporting oxygen to all cells in our body to produce energy. Less iron means less haemoglobin with many adverse effects, particularly not enough energy to carry out your day today work.

If you take iron supplements, all the iron absorbed cannot be converted into haemoglobin and the excess iron deposits in kidneys, liver and in heart muscles rust there. 37 degrees C and enough water are the best medium for the iron to rust. They produce lot of dangerous hydroxyl free radicals from Fenton’s chemical reaction and too many free radicals are dangerous to our body.

The iron tablets could be taken 14 days to 3 months under the strict supervision of you doctor.

Consult a dietician and improve the iron status only through your food, it is easy, if you know how to do it. Here, do not forget the role of vitamin C and aluminium.

Food that reduce High blood pressure

What is normal blood pressure?

Several countries have fixed this 140/90 and World health organization gives 160/95 and the values above these indicate high blood pressure. Blood pressure is an important marker of heart health and it keeps also the heart healthy.


Which vegetables and fruits maintain or reduce the blood pressure?

Celery is known to reduce the blood pressure, but it has more sodium than other vegetables which can increase the pressure. Take one to two stalks and this is enough for a day.

Garlic is also important to reduce the blood pressure and the mechanism is dilation of the arteries. Onion and garlic have adenosine which is a smooth muscle relaxant. Raw or cooked, both are effective to control the blood pressure.

Fibres and antioxidants of vegetables and fruits are capable of reducing the blood pressure. Comparatively the fibres and antioxidants of fruits are more effective than those of vegetables.

Which is the function of vitamin C and magnesium?

Vitamin C and magnesium are the substances which remove the waste in the arteries so that they do not become narrower. Both, we have to take along with food, since human beings cannot synthesize vitamin C in our body. However many animals can do it, that is why the animals have very rare or no heart attack. One or two oranges and one banana a day is enough to get both.

What about the plant oils?

Olive oil, sesame oil and all the oils which are rich in monounsaturated or omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids are good to reduce the blood pressure. But, intake of oils is very important. Complete avoidance of oil will lead to heath problems.

Coconut oil has almost 90% saturated fatty acids, but out of that 70% are middle and short chain fatty acids and these are healthy. It is not necessary to avoid completely coconut or coconut oil. Sesame oil, coconut oil and groundnut oils are the best oil for our Indian way of preparing meals. The reason is they are heat stable.

100 g of any oil has approximately 890 kcals and so you must be careful with the daily oil intake.

Never forget, the dose makes the poison.

What role does calcium und potassium play in blood pressure?

Calcium is important to have normal blood pressure and it also functions as a natural diuretic to mild the effects of much sodium intake. Calcium supplement gives contradictory results, 80% benefit from the supplementation and 20% the blood pressure goes marginally up. Dairy products containing low fat and vegetables are also good sources of calcium. Talk to the dietician to know the position exactly.

Potassium can also reduce blood pressure and it is proved that low potassium diet increases blood pressure. The mechanism behind is that too little potassium in the blood lead to sodium retention and high blood pressure. Fruits, vegetables and fish are rich in potassium.

Why do physicians advise persons with high blood pressure to avoid salt and salty food items?

The problem is that sodium narrows our arteries, thus increases blood pressure. We cannot avoid sodium completely because it is an essential element and it is better to avoid very salty food like processed foods, pickles, chips, snacks and salted fish.

Why alcohol causes high blood pressure?

If you have high blood pressure it is advisable not to drink alcohol. If you drink more than a glass beer (180 ml) then the benefits of low sodium diet and also the medicines for high blood pressure are cancelled. Alcohol is not essential to our body, we can completely sacrifice it.

What about coffee?

For 70 to 80% of the persons who have blood pressure we cannot find the reason. Mental stress is also an important factor for blood pressure. Coffee with mental pressure increases the blood pressure surely. Wait 45 minutes after drinking coffee, measure your blood pressure and find out whether coffee fits to your blood pressure or not. Two cups of medium strong coffee may be consumed daily.

What about the normal risks like overweight?

Overweight, smoking, mental stress and less physical activity are the big risks for high blood pressure. Too much drinking of alcohol is also a risk factor. Try to avoid all these risks and with correct food you can decrease the blood pressure.

What about tobacco and its products?

Tobacco and its products are harmful and should be avoided completely. This is applicable to passive smoking also. Never smoke in a room where non-smokers are there, particularly children and pregnant.

What about non-vegetarian food?

You can eat, but not too much. Eat meat without visible fat. Poultry without skin is better. One of the best meats is Turkey meat without skin. All meat from animals including milk has enough saturated fats and cholesterol. At the same time, all plant food has no cholesterol.

Never accept this argument – ear meat, but you must sacrifice coconut.

What about weight reduction?

Reduce the weight, it is always good for everything. Enough physical activities are a must.

Have you forgotten anything important?

Yes, you must drink lot of water, 3 l to 4 l in a cold country and 4 l to 6 l in a hot country. If you do lot of physical work and sweat much, then you must drink more than 6 l water. I mean, more than 6 l fluid intake per day and out of that at least 70% must be pure drinking water.

Iron and its deficiency

Iron is an essential element for human beings and is vital for the production of red blood cells. Haemoglobin present in the red blood cells transports oxygen to cells and carbon dioxide back to the lungs. Periods of rapid growth, blood loss due to menstruation or loss in the intestinal tract, less iron in the diet, poor iron absorption and poverty are the main reasons for the iron deficiency.

Healthy persons absorb about 5 to 10% of dietary iron and the iron deficient absorbs about 10 to 20%. Vitamin C enhances the absorption of iron. Oxalates, phytates and tannins from the vegetables decrease the absorption of iron. Therefore, iron is poorly absorbed from wheat germ, lima beans, spinach and beet greens.

Iron absorption from carrots, potatoes, beet roots, pumpkin, tomatoes, cauliflower, cabbage and turnips are good because these vegetables contain substantial amount of malic, citric or ascorbic acids which can help iron absorption. Iron absorption is enhanced by inclusion of red meat, poultry, fish and eggs.

Too much of calcium inhibits the absorption of iron so that calcium supplement should be taken in between two meals. Meals that include principally pizza, hamburger, spaghetti and cheese result in poor iron absorption.

An estimated 40% of world’s population, mainly women are the sufferers of iron deficiency. Environmental illness can cause iron deficiency. In India where hookworm disease is prevalent and vegetarianism is mandated by religion, iron deficiency is very common. Keep always in mind that too much of iron from the tablets deposited in the organs is more dangerous than light deficiency.

What is the reason that one should not take iron tablets for long time? Excess iron which could not be used for the production of red blood cells will be deposited in the heart and other organs. Our body temperature and enough water make it to rust there. In this process uncontrolled amounts of free radicals are formed by the Fenton’s reaction. Free radicals are necessary to fight and kill the bacteria and virus but too much of them destroy body’s healthy cells, thus the organs.

Iron is a poisonous metal and the iron tablets should be kept away from the reach of the children. Excess can harm the health of the children.

Eisen und sein Mangel

Eisen ist ein wesentliches Element für die Menschen und ist für die Produktion von roten Blutzellen lebenswichtig. Das Hämoglobin in den roten Blutzellen transportiert Sauerstoff zu Zellen und Kohlendioxid zurück zu den Lungen. Perioden des schnellen Wachstums, Blutverlust wegen der Menstruation oder des Verlustes im Darm, weniger Eisen in der Nahrung, schlechter Eisenabsorption und Armut sind die Hauptgründe für den Eisenmangel.

Gesunde Personen absorbieren ungefähr 5 bis 10 % Eisen vom Nahrung, und die, die Eisenmangel haben absorbieren ungefähr 10 bis 20 %. Vitamin C erhöht die Absorption von Eisen. Oxalate, phytate und Gerbstoffe von den Gemüsen vermindern die Absorption von Eisen. Deshalb wird Eisen vom Weizenkeim, Bohnen von Lima, Spinat und Rübengrünen schlecht absorbiert.

Die Eisenabsorption von Karotten, Kartoffeln, Rübenwurzeln, Kürbis, Tomaten, Blumenkohl, Kohl und Rüben ist gut, weil diese Gemüse wesentlich mehr Malic, Zitronen- oder Askorbinsäuren (Vitamin C) enthalten, die die Eisenabsorption helfen können. Rotem Fleisch, Geflügel, Fisch und Eiern haben gut absorbierebares Eisen..

Zu viel Kalzium hemmt die Absorption von Eisen, so dass Kalzium-Tabletten zwischen zwei Mahlzeiten genommen werden sollte. Mahlzeiten, die hauptsächlich Pizza, Hamburger, Spagetti und Käse bestehen sind schlecht für die Eisenabsorption.

Ungefähr 40 % der Bevölkerung in der Welt und hauptsächlich Frauen sind die Hauptleidenden des Eisenmangels. Umweltkrankheiten können Eisenmangel verursachen. In Indien, wo Hakenwurm-Krankheit fast überall ist und wo viele aus religiösen Gründen Vegetarier sind, Eisenmangel ist vorprogrammiert.

Zu viel Eisen von den in den Organen abgelegten Anreicherung durch Eisen-Tabletten ist gefährlicher als leichter Mangel. Warum darf man nicht Eisen-Tabletten für lange Zeit nicht nehmen sollte? Ein Überschuss der für die Produktion von roten Blutzellen nicht verwendet werden konnte, wird im Herzen und anderen Organen gelagert. Unsere Körpertemperatur und genug Wasser machen es, um dort zu verrosten. In diesem Prozess werden nicht kontrollierte Mengen von freien Radikalen durch die Reaktion von Fenton gebildet. Freie Radikale sind notwendig, die Bakterien und Viren zu töten, aber zu viel von ihnen zerstört die gesunden Zellen des Körpers, so die Organe.

Eisen ist ein giftiges Metall, und die Eisen-Tabletten sollten weg von der Reichweite der Kinder behalten werden. Zu viel Eisen kann die Gesundheit der Kinder schaden.

Food & Fertility: Food rich in vitamin B6, Folic acid, vitamin C, vitamin E, selenium and zinc

Food rich in Vitamin B6

• Vegetables
• Whole grain products
• Nuts
• Legumes
• Fish
• Poultry
• Meat
• Milk

Plant food loses less Vitamin B6 than meat and milk during cooking. Milling reduces vitamin B6 and so white flour (Maida) has very little vitamin B6. All the processing techniques including freezing, cooking, canning etc. can make vitamin B6 loss.

Food rich in Folic acid

• Meat and inner organs like liver, kidney etc.
• Nuts
• Beans and legumes
• Leafy vegetables
• It is present in all vegetables in small quantities and it is very difficult to take the necessary amount from the food or from raw food. The loss in cooking is always very high. Here we have to think about the supplement.

Food rich in Vitamin C

• Citrus fruits like oranges, grape fruit and lemon
• Vegetables with dark green leaves
• Broccoli
• Cauliflower
• Strawberries
• Kiwi
• Spinach
• Cabbage
• Potatoes
• Tomatoes
• Capsicum
• Liver
• Oyster

Vitamin C is unstable. Losses occur from exposure to air, light, heat and copper.
Also dissolves in cooking water and is mostly wasted.

Food rich in vitamin E

• Edible vegetable oils such as sesame oil, coconut oil, groundnut oil
• Unprocessed cereals
• Unprocessed nuts
• Seeds
• Green leafy vegetables
• Fish
• Poultry
• Fruits and vegetables contain small amount of vitamin E

Vitamin E is relatively stable except at deep frying temperatures.

Food rich in Selenium
• Meats
• Seafood
• Poultry
• Eggs
• Nuts and seeds, particularly nuts from tropical countries including coconut
• Whole grains are rich in selenium

The problem is in most countries the soil is poor in selenium and the local food contains almost no selenium. That is why in most of the developed countries it is added in bread or in other food stuff. Or they must eat nuts imported from tropical countries. If nothing helps supplementation is the last step.

Food rich in Zinc

• Onion
• Garlic
• Nuts including coconut
• Milk, yoghurt and cheese
• Meat
• Liver
• Fish
• Eggs
• Seafood

Fruits and vegetables contain only little zinc. The vegetarians must be careful in their food. Nuts, pulses and milk and dairy products may be the rich sources.

Seafood contains poisonous metals like mercury, cadmium, lead etc. and one must be careful to eat them.

Nahrung und Fruchtbarkeit - Nahrungsmittel reich an Vitamin B6, Fol-Saeure, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Selen und Zink

Nahrungsmittel reiche an Vitamin B6

Gemüse
Vollkornprodukte
Nüsse
Hülsenfrüchte
Fische
Geflügel
Fleisch
Milch

Gefrorene Gemüse verlieren weniger Vitamin B6 als Fleisch und Milch während des Kochens. Industrielle Verarbeitung verringert Vitamin B6 Gehalt und deshalb weißes Mehl hat sehr wenig Vitamin B6. Alle Verfahrenstechniken einschließlich das Einfrieren, das Kochen, das Einmachen etc. können Verlust des Vitamins B6 verursachen.

Nahrungsmittel reich an Fol- Säure

• Fleisch und innere Organe wie Leber, Niere...
• Nüsse
• Bohnen und Hülsenfrüchte
• Blattgemüse
• Es ist in allem Gemüse in den kleinen Mengen vorhanden und es ist sehr schwierig, die notwendige Menge von der Nahrung oder rohen Nahrung zu sich nehmen. Der Verlust, beim Kochen ist immer sehr hoch.

Nahrungsmittel reich an Vitamin C

Zitrusfrüchte wie Orangen, Grapefrucht und Zitrone
Gemüse mit dunkelgrünen Blättern
Brokkoli
Blumenkohl
Erdbeeren
Kiwi
Spinat
Kohl
Kartoffeln
Tomaten
Paprika

Leber
Auster

Vitamin C ist instabil. Verluste treten von Aussetzung zu Luft, Licht und Hitze auf.
Löst auch sich in kochendem Wasser auf und das Wasser wird meistens weggeworfen mit Vitamin C.


Nahrungsmittel reich an Vitamin E


Essbare Pflanzenöle wie Sesamöl, Sonnenblumenöl, Erdnussöl, Kokosnussöl...
Vollkorn Getreide
Unverarbeitete Nüsse
Samen
Grüne Blattgemüse
Fische
Geflügel
Obst und Gemüse enthalten kleine Menge von Vitamin E

Vitamin E ist auch in hohen Temperaturen ziemlich stabil.


Nahrungsmittel reich in Selen

Fleisch
Meeresfrüchte
Geflügel
Eier
Nüsse und Samen, besonders Nüsse aus tropischen Ländern einschließlich Kokosnuss
Vollkörner + Produkte sind reich Selen

Das Problem ist in den meisten Ländern, der Boden im Selen arm ist und die lokale Nahrung enthält fast kein Selen. Das ist der Grund warum in die meisten entwickelten Ländern es im Brot oder in anderen Nahrungsmittel hinzugefügt wird. Oder sie müssen die Nüsse essen, die aus tropischen Ländern importiert werden. Wenn nichts hilft, ist die Ergänzung die letzte Möglichkeit.


Nahrungsmittel reich in Zink

Zwiebel
Knoblauch
Nüsse einschließlich Kokosnuss
Milch, Joghurt und Käse
Fleisch
Leber
Fische
Eier
Meeresfrüchte

Obst und Gemüse enthalten nur wenig Zink. Die Vegetarier müssen in ihrer Nahrung achtgeben. Nüsse, Hülsenfrüchte und Milch und Milchprodukte können die reichen Quellen sein.

Meeresfrüchte enthalten giftige Metalle wie Quecksilber, Kadmium, Blei usw. Man muss vorsichtig sein. Notfalls vermeiden.

Ernaehrung und Fruchtbarkeit

Was sind die besten Nahrungsmittel für ein Kind zu bekommen?

Die folgenden ist die besten Nahrungsmittel für Frauen, die schwanger werden möchten:

Nüsse, Vollkornprodukte, Bohnen und Hülsenfrüchte können Ovulation fördern und Poliertekörnermehle und, Bonbons, Schokoladen, Kuchen und alkoholfreie Getränke verringern die Chancen für eine Schwangerschaft.

Vollmilch aber nicht leicht Joghurt ist gut, obwohl normalerweise tierische Fette nicht gut sind.


Obst und Gemüse?

Es gibt einige Hundert Phytoestrogene. Einige Hunderte die schwache oestrogenische Aktivität haben. Phytoestrogene konnten den weiblichen sexuellen Hormonhaushalt regulieren. Außerdem Sie haben Einflüsse auf die positive Geschlechts-Antrieb, Schwangerschaft und Wechseljahressymptome zu regulieren und auch helfen kann, Brustkrebs zu verhindern.

Die Nahrungsmittel, die in den phytoestrogene reich sind, sind Weizenkleie, Kohl, Blumenkohl, Brokkoli, Spinat, Hülsenfrüchte und Hülsenfrüchte.

Sind Fleisch- oder tierisches Fett nützlich?

Für Frauen und Männer die ein Baby planen, ist besser, vollständig tierisches Fett zu vermeiden. Nur Frauen dürfen Maessig Milch und Milchprodukte essen. Besonders kann eine fetthaltige Diät Verwüstung in den männlichen Geschlechtshormonen spielen und so, sein Sexualleben. Fettreiche Mahlzeiten verringern die Testosteron Konzentration.

Normalerweise fetthaltige Nahrung erhöht Oestrogene, dadurch auch die Fruchtbarkeit und leicht fetthaltige Mahlzeiten können sich vor Brustkrebs schützen.

Was ist das Verhältnis zwischen Vitamin C und Samenzellen?

Vitamin C kann die Samenzellen beweglicher machen. E ist ein Antioxydant der die Samenzellen vor dem Angriff der Sauerstoff-Freiradikale schützt. Einnahme von 1000 mg des Vitamins C für zwei Monate kann die meisten Umweltgifte vom Samen entfernen und es fruchtbar machen. Aber, es kann andere Ursachen für die Unfruchtbarkeit geben und richtig zu diagnostizieren ist wichtig.

Früchte, die im Vitamin C reich sind, sind zu Ihnen weithin bekannt. Wenn Sie Vitamin C Tabletten benötigen, fragen Sie Ihren Arzt, weil in der Überdosis dieses Antioxydant als Pro-oxydationsmittel auftreten kann.

Welche Rolle spielt hier Fol- Säure?

Fol- Säure ist für Sicherheit des Fötusses gegen Defekt des neuralen Tubes notwendig. Wenn Sie ein Baby planen sofort müssen Sie For-Säure einnehmen. Fol-Säure hilft nichts wenn Sie Schwanger sind.

Was sind die anderen wichtigen Sachen, die ich wissen muss?

3 bis 4 Liter Wasser täglich trinken. Es darf auch kein Eisenmangel vorhanden sein.

Sind nur Vitamin C und Fol-Säure wichtig?

Die anderen zwei wichtigen Vitamine sind Vitamin B6 und E, die die Hormonbalance herstellen. Mangel an Vitamin B6 und Vitamin E kann die Fruchtbarkeit negativ beeinflussen. Sie wissen bereits, das Nahrungsmittel im Vitamin B6 reich sind. Öle oder Fett, die in Vitamin E reich sind, sollten nur in den kleinen Mengen genommen werden. Es ist besser, Komplex des Vitamins B zu ergänzen, weil von unseren Studien wir wissen, dass viele, sogar in den westlichen Ländern, Mangel des Vitamins B6 haben.

Sind übermäßige Vitamine gut für Fruchtbarkeit?

Übermäßigen Mengen Vitamine sind nicht gut und dieses kann dir Fruchtbarkeit verringern. Weiter kann hohe Konzentration Vitamine Nebenwirkungen auch verursachen, z.B. kann überschüssiges Vitamin B6 neurologischen Schaden verursachen und Vitamin C könnte als Pro-oxydant auftreten und die Fruchtbarkeit verringern.

Sind die Austern eine gute Quelle des guten Zinks?

Ja. Austern sind reich an Zink. Jedoch ist es ratsam, Austern nicht zu essen. Austern enthalten giftige Schwermetalle wie Kadmium, Arsen und Quecksilber. Es gibt andere weit bessere Quellen des Zinks.

Was über den Mythos über Feigen oder Eier?

Diese sind normale Nahrungsmittel, nichts mehr als die, aber ihre Form hat nichts mit der Fruchtbarkeit zu tun und es ist nur ein falscher Glaube.

Viele pharmazeutischen Unternehmen sagen, dass Vitaminergänzungen dringend nötig sind?

Zu viele Vitaminen schaden nur. Fragen Sie ihren Arzt ob die Tabletten notwendig sind.

Was über Kaffee?

Eins bis zwei Tassen Kaffee oder Tee pro Tag können getrunken werdem.

Ist Trans-Fett gut?

Trans-Fett ist fast in allen verarbeiteten Nahrungsmitteln einschließlich Schokoladen benutzt. Sie haben keinen Nährwert, aber diese werden addiert nur die Lagerbeständigkeit der Nahrung zu erhöhen. Trans-Fett schadet die Fruchtbarkeit der Frauen.

Wie wichtig ist Selen?

Selen ist sehr wichtig die Freien-Radikalen zu beseitigen. Samen enthält sehr viel Selen.

Das richtiges Essen hilft in meisten Fällen eine Frau Schwanger zu werden

Morgen: Nahrungsmittel reich an Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Vitamin B6, Fol-Säure, Selen, Zink
