Why are breakfast cereals void of NATURAL vitamins and minerals? Why must they be fortified?

March 9th, 2010

Cereal is considered a health food by many due to its high vitamin and mineral content. But as we all know, those vitamins and minerals are synthetic and have been ADDED to the cereal. So why don’t those healthy grains (I’m talking about some good whole-grain cereal) have NATURALLY occurring vitamins and minerals? Why must they be added? I thought that whole grains are naturally high in B vitamins, but it is not reflected in the nutrition facts label in those cereals that haven’t been fortified (like Nature’s Path cereals). Can anyone explain this?
Whole-grain cereals contain:

Does anyone obsess over health and nutrition?

March 7th, 2010

I OBSESS over health and fitness damnit. Its driving me crazy. I used to be dedicated to bodybuilding and nutrition, and i would spend countless hours researching how to stay in perfect shape, revising and revising my workout plans and diet, etc. Then one day i said f*ck my health, and quit everything all together. It took me awhile to completely quit obsessing over my body and health, but i eventually completely forgot about it. And for the next year I felt so relieved. I finally felt like i was living. But then after six months of smoking, frying my skin in the sun, and getting overweight, my body image finally started to kind of bother me again. So here i am obsessing over how to be a perfectionist at having a top notch body. I HATE IT DAMNIT. Haha, i was wondering if this was just a problem i had, or if theres others out there like me. I wish i could just forget about appearance completely and live my life.

Well, I’m not quite to the point you are, but I’m somewhere in the same ball park. I’m on yahoo answers all the time trying to learn as much as I can about fitness and like you, I keep revising my exercise program (which is stupid because I was seeing lots of results with my old program) but I just can’t stop. I feel like I need to know anything and everything to make the perfect decisions about health/weight loss/fitness. I’m not even fat, or even close! I’m in pretty darn good shape, I just want to tone my body lol. I hate it too, man. I’m glad I care about being healthy and all that, but sometimes I just take things too far.

dog vitamins and general health?

March 5th, 2010

I have a 1 and 5 year old german shepherds. I would like to avoid giving them pills (glucosamine,multivitamins). Is there a more natural way to make sure they get proper nutrition so I reduce a chance of them having problems with their hips and bones in general? Thanks

Why don’t you look up glucosamine on Wikipedia? I just did, and it looks pretty natural to me. I started using it some months ago, just after I got a 10 year old rescue dog who had longstanding cruciate ligament damage in his back legs when I got him. He had trouble getting into my van when I got him, now he jumps in like it’s nothing, and bounces around like a young dog. It comes in a powder which is very easy to add to food. Next time I buy it, I’m going to get the version made for horses, it’s cheaper and fine for dogs, it says on the label.
