This is what I take every day to help my pcos ..Metformin,multivitamin and iron,magnesium and fish oils and try to eat healthy...(most of the time) :-)
day twelve of the January photo challenge: routine. Multivitamin, coffee, and vitamin D. All the essentials.
The number of days of my 3rd #HungerStrike outside the #UNHCR office in Athens, Greece is now standing at 242-days. Hence, I am at imminent risk of survival now.
My dire situation still remains unresolved and unattended. I feel completely isolated and cut off from everywhere.
The situation is so bad that at this very moment I am absolutely without cash or any other means for that matter even to get myself safe drinking water. Practically, this has been turned into a persistent life threatening and existential threat which I have been forced to deal with on a daily basis for so many months now with no end in sight.
I will also run out of Multivitamins in the coming days. Being unable to shower or do my laundry for nearly 2-months and have had no Mobile Date for nearly 3-months.
All in all, they have created the perfect conditions for my demise. I fear for my life, my safety and well-being.
Please help if you can. Spread the word, sign my #Petition and Donate.
Thank you for your solidarity and support.
Yours Respectfully;

Mega Antioxidant and Chelated Mineral.Together, they have repeatedly been given top rankings in the NutriSearch Comparative Guide to Nutritional Supplements.
Afghanistan is one of the deadliest places on earth for women and children. Direct Relief has partnered with the Afghan Institute for Learning (AIL) and the Abbott Fund to help reverse the country's high maternal mortality rate and increase the survival and overall health of infants and children.
Many children in Afghanistan are underweight, and many of these are moderate to severe cases. AIL instituted a nutrition education program at its clinics in Kabul. Clinic staff trains mothers of malnourished children how to cook healthy foods and teaches the women and children in the program about safe drinking water, how to prevent malnutrition, and other nutrition topics. Abbott Fund has partnered with Direct Relief to provide in grants to AIL. Abbott has provided product donations to AIL, including rehydration solutions, antibiotics, multivitamins, and nutritional supplements.
365 Days/October 13, 2011
One of my favorite healthy smoothies
I have this some mornings for breakfast.
1 Organic cooked egg, 3/4 bag of 365 brand organic frozen strawberries (Fresh can be used of course), 1 organic banana, 1 organic apple (including seeds—I eat seeds to get the enzymes and other nutrients), 3 or 4 squirts of Blue Agave Nectar to sweeten drink; about 1 ½ tsp. of natural banana flavoring, 1 ½ tsp. Stevia powder, 1 ½ cups 365 Brand Almond Beverage, 1 to 1 ½ cups distilled water (sometimes a little more, to facilitate the frozen stuff getting to the blade at the bottom to be blended), 1 packet of Knox Unflavored Gelatin, 1 ½ tsp. Garden of Life Coconut Oil, 2 Tbsp. of Dr. Schulze’s Superfood Plus (multivitamin/mineral formula), 2 droppersful of Herb Pharm Brand Ginkgo, 1 ¼ handfuls of sunflower seeds, 2 tsp. 365 Brand Chia Seeds, 5 Organic Walnuts, 2 Organic Macadamia Nuts, 3 Organic Filberts, 1 ½ Tsp. organic Cinnamon, a pinch of organic Turmeric (it is extremely difficult to disguise the flavor of this, so I take the rest of my daily dose in a homemade capsule with food)
and 1 tsp. of Dr. Schulze’s Herbal Mucil.
It is best to blend this on high every few ingredients, because all this barely fits in a blender ;)
Codel hospital supplies.
A U.S. congressional delegation (CODEL) visiting Iraq delivered a Direct Relief International shipment of medicines and supplies to the St. Raphael hospital in Baghdad. The shipment consisted of 1222 lbs. of material, including casting material, syringes and needles, sutures, sterile gauze, oral rehydration solution, children’s and adult multivitamins, antibiotics, and pain-relief medication (including Tylenol, donated by Johnson & Johnson, and VIOXX, donated by Merck & Co.). The shipment was divided into 38 separate boxes to facilitate loading and unloading on the CODEL flight.
Direct Relief supports Iraqi hospitals and healthcare centers with needed supplies like antibiotics for adults and children, ear drops, and drugs for pain management. Aid has even included included toys distributed to poor, hospitalized and orphaned children during the feast days of Ramadan in Iraq in order to help promote understanding and trust between the Iraqi people and the people of the U.S. and its military.
Además de las mochilas con útiles escolares y la desparasitación, los niños y niñas de la ribera del río Ozama, disfrutaron las ocurrencias de payasos y payasitas, pinta-caritas, con los cuales bailaron y cantaron hasta contagiar a todos los presentes.

It's cool outside. So a child must be dressed warm enough. And if a child takes their baby doll out, the baby doll must of course also be dressed warm enough. So Niko gets a doll diaper, his socks, his baby body and his winter clothes. And because Niko likes his pacifier and he shouldn't lose it, the pacifier is attached to his clothing with a pacifier strap. And don't forget to drink too :) Today our baby doll Niko is taking multivitamin juice with him. So let's go outside.
About our three dolls:
Ella is a girl doll with a soft cloth body. She is a thumb sucker doll and can put her thumb in her mouth. We gave her doll glasses.
Niko and Paul are two anatomically correct boy dolls. Anatomically correct as both are shown with male gender details. For legal reasons I have to redact this part. We decided on such dolls because we like it when a doll is portrayed naturally. And because Paul has no hair, we gave him a wig from a previous doll.
And we liked the thumbsucker doll because one of our two kids used to be a thumbsucker child himself :)

Many people neglect taking good care of their hair. This can just be mainly because they do not have the familiarity with how to take care of their hair properly. On this page, you'll obtain advice to acquire your haircare back in line.
If you like wearing hair in a ponytail, don't placed the ponytail in a spot whenever. When you repeatedly wear hair in the ponytail, hair will likely break. If you must tie up hair for your personal job, allow it down while you are no longer working.
Heavy conditioners will not be suited for hair that may be fine or thinning. This will likely put extra weight in your hair, that makes it look even thinner and finer. You could add mousse or leave-in conditioners to present hair volume, and they will not likely leave a greasy residue.
Don't use lots of appliances in your hair in order that it can be stronger and also be restored. The high temperature from blow dryers, curling irons, and straighteners can severely damage hair, leaving it tough to tame and frizzy. Every now and then, let hair rest by avoiding heated tools.
Your diet program carries a direct affect on the fitness of hair. Ideally, your diet program will include loads of vitamin e antioxidant, iron and essential fatty acids these nutrients play an integral role in the fitness of hair. Be sure to take multivitamins when you can't get enough nutrients.
If you exit the shower, don't dry hair by using a towel roughly. Or else, you could find yourself damaging hair. As an alternative to that, squeeze extra water through your hair. Then pat it dry by using a towel. Do not use rough towels softer ones are better.
As is above mentioned, good hair care may not be towards the top of the care list for many. Ignorance of the most effective strategies to keep hair healthy and attractive may be the main source of this neglect. As you now may have advice on the way to maintain hair, you may apply it too as share that information. hairstylee.com/pretty-fishtail-braid-bridesmaid-hairstyle...
The number of days of my 3rd #HungerStrike outside the #UNHCR office in Athens, Greece is now standing at 261-days. Yet my dire situation still remains unresolved and unattended.
I have now been without cash for over a month and unable even to get myself safe drinking water. Being drained of all my resources, they have now practically weaponized #food and #water and turned those into a persistent life threatening and existential threat to me which I have been forced to deal with on a daily basis for so many months now with no end in sight.
I have also been without Multivitamins for more than two weeks now. All in all, they have created the perfect conditions for my death by starvation.
I fear if the situation goes on like this I might not even make it alive into the next week.
This is what vulnerable Refugees get when they go and seek help from the so-called authorities.
Please help if you can. Spread the word, sign my #Petition and Donate.
Thank you for your solidarity and support.

I just planked LA's 405 freeway between Sunset and Wilshire during the last minutes of Carmageddon! Police were roaring up the other side of the freeway, and I just slapped a Vitagasm patch on my arm and went for it. Such an opportunity might not come again for years! Despite the time log on the photo (which says yesterday), this was actually taken at about 11:25am on Sunday, July 17th.
If you don't know what Planking is and my positioning on the freeway seems strange, see this video: youtu.be/tRHnTFesv7c.

Josdarlin Hernandez, 17, with her son Dennis Marchan, 15 months, at the San José de Obrero Church in Frailes de Catia, in Caracas, Venezuela. Josdarlin receives nutritional supplements for her son after he was found to be undernourished in a nutrition monitoring session conducted by her local Caritas chapter. She is currently three months pregnant and worries about the economic crisis.
"I'm trying to take my multivitamins, sometimes my friends give me what they have left over, sometimes Fr. Cristobal gives me some."
Expectant mothers are vulnerable to complications because of a breakdown of the medical system, access to basic supplies, and loss of spending power which forces families to choose between food and care. Many mothers go into labor without having received pre-natal care or taken exams to help assure the health and safety of their babies.
"His love is everything," she says of her son. "I'm studying administration so I can work for a business, I want to give him a good future so he grow up to be someone. One has to keep fighting to give them a good life. I want God to keep helping those who work to help those in need. That they continue to give us assistance and advice to help our babies grow well."
Hyper inflation has hit the Venezuelan people hard. Medical supplies and basic food staples are often beyond the means of the average Venezuelan. Currently 92 percent of the population now falls below the poverty line. The current minimum monthly salary averages to about $1.50 and covers only 2 percent of the minimum nutritional basket. As of March 2018, it would require 73 monthly salaries solely to cover the cost of feeding a family. Families cope by selling off goods, cutting back on meals and the quantity of food served at each meal. Routine growth monitoring sessions conducted by Caritas has shown that 70 percent of children under 5 show signs of some form of nutrition with 8 percent from severe malnutrition.
Back in 2003, 1 Canadian dollar could only buy 65 U.S. cents. American tourists flocked to Canada and Canadians moaned the high prices when visiting the U.S.
Fastforward to 2012, the Canadian dollar is at par with the U.S. Now it's Americans who complain about high prices in Canada. Meanwhile, Canadians flock to the U.S. and spend like there's no tomorrow. Suddenly day-to-day items in the U.S. can be 25% to 50% cheaper.
Here, each pack of 3 light-bulbs was 99 U.S. cents (super special sale price). Each pack would cost probably $10 in Canada (so it's 90% off in the U.S.)
The Ponds Cold Cream (for my mother) is the same price as in Canada, but contain 2 times the volume.
The Centrum multi-vitamins are also much cheaper in the U.S.

Maca, also known as Lepidium Meyenii, is an annual plant that is cultivated in the Peruvian central highlands. The edible root, which resembles a radish, is a staple food for the local population.
Maca has been highly revered for over 2,000 years in Peru. According to legend, the Incan warriors ate Maca for strength and endurance before going to battle. The Spanish Conquistadors called it the “sex herb of the Incas.” Today it is known as “Peruvian Ginseng”. Modern studies suggest that Maca may promote libido, sexual potency and energy.
Women in South America have also used Maca for thousands of years to help maintain their stamina and handle stress. Peruvian women begin using Maca at age 3, and remain strong, fertile and productive, well into their later life. Maca may increase a woman’s libido, and should be taken daily for best results.
Forever Multi-Maca® combines legendary Peruvian Maca with other powerful herbs and select ingredients, to create one of the finest supplements of its kind!

- Buffalo Wings were invented by Terressa Bellisimo in 1964 and first served to patrons of the Anchor Bar in downtown Buffalo. This wintry destination gets approximately 25 days of snowfall per year.
- Buffalo was the first city in the U.S. to have electric street lights. The winshield wiper was invented in Buffalo.
Spossatezza e Affaticamento !!
-Una Formula Da 100 ml € 15.50
Grazie alla Miscela di piante dalle proprietà toniche ed energizzanti, particolarmente indicata nei periodi di eccessivo stress psico-fisico, temperature alte e umidità, conosciute per le loro attività stimolante ed afrodisiaca. La formula ENERGY sveglia il metabolismo lento e per chi segue una dieta è un valido sostenimento.
ENERGY vi aiuta prima di :
-una Corsetta - un allenamento intenso in Palestra.
-una giornata al Mare.
-una giornata carica di Lavoro.
Le proprietè delle piante contenute nella Formula:
Muira puama (Ptychopetalum olacoides Benth.) Alberello della foresta Amazzonica, dal penetrante profumo di gelsomino. Gli Indios amazzonici lo conoscono da millenni e usano le sue foglie lucide sia per via esterna che interna. La pianta, presente ormai da anni anche in alcune farmacopee europee è indicata come tonico generale e stimolante nervino.
Damiana (Turnera diffusa Willd. ex. Schult.) È un arbusto con piccole foglie simili a quelle dell'olmo e fiori gialli diffuso nelle foreste caldo-umide del Centro America. Tutta la pianta è aromatica ed emana un gradevole profumo misto fra il rosmarino e il timo. Dalle foglie essiccate si ottiene il "thé burrique", così è chiamato l'infuso di damiana, che viene consumato come bevanda tradizionale durante il convivio presso i popoli di etnia maya. Da secoli ne conoscono e ne apprezzano le proprietà dissetanti, energetico -toniche ed afrodisiache.
China (Cinchona calisaya Wedd.) Osservando le febbri degli operai che lavoravano la corteccia di china, che veniva usata contro le febbri malariche, Hanemann intuì la teoria omeopatica: il rimedio o il veleno dipende dalla dose. La corteccia di quest'albero dell'America tropicale vanta secoli di uso sia come aroma, sia per le proprietà antimalariche, eupeptiche e digestive. Ne è stata studiata e messa in evidenza anche l'azione energetica e tonica del cuore.
Eleuterococco (Eleutherococcus senticosus Rupr et Maxim.) Noto anche come ginseng siberiano, vanta una fama di tonico altrettanto conosciuto come il confamiliare cinese, specialmente in tutta l'area dell'ex-URSS. I preparati a base di eleuterococco erano un comune supporto nei periodi invernali e di affaticamento. Si ritiene che uno dei punti di forza degli eccezionali atleti Est-Europei sia stato proprio l'uso dell'eleuterococco.
Echinacea (Echinacea angustifolia DC) Composita perenne con grandi fiori asteracei presente nelle praterie gli Stati Uniti centrali. Le sue radici carnose e dal sapore pungente erano usate dai nativi americani come rimedi per gravi malattie, avvelenamenti da cibo o per il morso di serpenti. Fin dal 1850 ne sono stati tratti dei "farmaci" con azione depurativa e rinforzante. In questo prodotto viene utilizzata per le sue spiccate proprietà antiasteniche.
Guaranà (Paullinia sorbilis L.) Arbusto tropicale dal frutto incredibilmente somigliante ad una castagna in miniatura, che gli ha valso il nome, ora in disuso, di Castagna di S. Domingo. I semi torrefatti del guaranà sono la matrice vegetale a più elevato contenuto di caffeina conosciuta (fino a 5 volte quella del caffè). Per questo è uno degli ingredienti maggiormente indicati per la formulazione di tonici nervini ed energetici.
Ginseng (Panax ginseng Meyer) I cinesi che la usano da millenni hanno messo in relazione la forma curiosamente antropomorfa della radice con il contenuto. In Cina e Corea viene consumata come tonico-energizzante. Le saponine di cui sono ricche le radici, in particolare i ginsenosidi, sono ritenute le molecole attive responsabili dell'azione adattogena e rivitalizzante del ginseng cinese. In questa combinazione lo troviamo associato con piante corroboranti, energetiche e afrodisiache al fine da realizzare un prodotto utile in tutti quei casi in cui l'organismo deve affrontare particolari performance.
Santoreggia (Satureja hortensis L.) Pianta annuale domestica, detta santoreggia estiva, specie diversa dalla congenere S. montana L., perenne nota come santoreggia invernale. Ne è diffusa la coltivazione nel Nord Europa dove è utilizzata come aroma fresco di accompagnamento dei cibi ed in particolare dei legumi (in Germania è detta erba dei fagioli = Bohnenkraut) per le sue proprietà carminative ma è nota anche nella tradizione erboristica come pianta spasmolitica e tonica dell'umore.
Angelica (Angelica archangelica L.) Ombrellifera imponente, si rende visibile a luglio per le sue grandi ombrelle bianchissime e il fusto cavo alto fino a 2 m. È una pianta erbacea bienne del Nord Europa che in natura vive vicino ai corsi d'acqua. La droga è data dal rizoma dal profumo aromatico e dolce, utilizzato in liquoreria. L'aroma è caratterizzato da un mix di cumarine e terpeni che rendono questa pianta un tonico generale con spiccato effetto antifatica.

Our container at Tokyo Design Week looks so unstylish and sporadic as if we were in a Berlin basement club in the beginning of the 90ies without any concept but a lot of equipment. No design. Anti style. We call it concept. All the other containers are so "stylish" and designed that I feel like a squatter in the high-tech-city of the future. We don t need paint, we have computers. I wear the same clothes that I was wearing at Lower East Side 2 weeks ago and I did not shave for 4 days. I have black rings around my eyes and I m smoking two packs of Marlboro a day, drinking 2 litres of coffee, sleeping 3 hours. My morning-medication consists of: 500mg concentrated Vitamine C + 50mg Aspirin + Centrum Multivitamin + homeopathic Echinacea for my general condition of health. What the f&$@!? Are we cool or what? I dunno... maybe just fucked up. But the portraits gonna be decent. This picture was just a test. I look like a mixture of monk and bum on it. Gotta sleep. 3 hours until the alarm is going off... Halleluja!

MANHATTAN
- Manhattan's Chinatown represents the largest concentration of Chinese people in the Western Hemisphere.
- More than 25% of the world's gold bullion is stored in the vaults of the Federal Reserve Bank on Wall Street.
- Manhattan’s Central Park is larger than the principality of Monaco.
- Manhattan has at least 16 bridges that connect the island to neighboring areas.
- New York's Yellow Cabs are yellow because John Hertz, the company's founder, learned from a study that yellow was the easiest color for the eye to spot.

Tem sido observado no Brasil o uso abusivo de suplementos alimentares para fim ergogênico (para melhorar o desempenho do esportista) e estético. Esta atitude tem crescido nos ambientes de prática de exercício, tendendo à generalização em algumas academias de ginástica e associações esportivas (1).
A situação, em parte, decorre da falta de conhecimento de que uma alimentação balanceada e de qualidade, a não ser em situações especiais, atende às necessidades nutricionais de um praticante de exercícios físicos, o que dispensaria o uso de suplementos alimentares (1).
Porém, a realização de suplementação vitamínica em atletas e esportistas ainda é tema controverso e de grande discussão na literatura médica. Uma das razões para tal controvérsia relaciona-se a estudos que demonstram o aumento da produção de radicais livres de oxigênio durante exercício físico promovendo o aparecimento do estresse oxidativo (2).
Os micronutrientes (vitaminas, minerais e oligoelementos) desempenham papel importante na proteção dos tecidos corporais em relação ao estresse oxidativo. Além disso, são fundamentais na produção de energia, síntese de hemoglobina, manutenção da saúde óssea e função imunológica. De um modo geral, os micronutrientes presentes em dietas balanceadas e diversificadas em alimentos, com aporte calórico suficiente para atender a demanda energética, são suficientes para as necessidades do esportista (2,3). Na realidade nada é capaz de substituir as vitaminas, minerais, fibras e outros nutrientes existentes em uma alimentação balanceada. Porém, nossos hábitos alimentares e estilos de vida somados ao baixo teor de nutrientes de alguns alimentos em função dos processos de cultivo e produção, cozimento, armazenamento e transporte, podem fazer com que a alimentação não forneça todos os nutrientes necessários ao organismo.
A Associação Dietética Americana (ADA) recomenda a suplementação em algumas situações especiais, como o uso de ácido fólico em gestantes, cálcio na vigência de osteoporose e osteopenia, ferro para anemia e para indivíduos que não possuem uma alimentação adequada em calorias e variada em alimentos. Para atletas, a mesma instituição orienta que a suplementação pode ser utilizada quando o esportista estiver em fase de emagrecimento, apresentar a necessidade de retirar algum alimento ou grupo alimentar da dieta, doença ou deficiência de determinado micronutriente. Alguns trabalhos, que avaliaram atletas em regime de treinamento intenso, sugerem o consumo de vitamina C e vitamina E entre 500 e 1.500 mg/dia, para melhor resposta imunológica e antioxidante. No entanto, essa informação está baseada em baixo grau de evidência científica. De qualquer maneira, nenhuma suplementação pode ser consumida sem a avaliação do médico ou nutricionista, para que não haja prejuízo para a saúde humana (1).
Os benefícios e prejuízos à saúde podem ser observados, por exemplo, no betacaroteno, precursor da vitamina A, que é o mais eficiente bloqueador de
oxigênio singlet (a forma mais reativa de oxigênio). Segundo a DRI (Dietary Reference Intakes), a dose diária recomendada é de no máximo 3000 μg/dia de retinol (unidade de atividade da vitamina A) para homens e mulheres adultos. Entretanto, o betacaroteno pode apresentar ação pró-oxidante, por meio da interação com outro antioxidante, como a vitamina E, ou ainda interferindo no metabolismo da glutationa e de outras enzimas antioxidantes. Alguns autores sugerem que, para alcançar um efeito quimiopreventivo evitando a oxidação do betacaroteno, são necessárias quantidades adequadas de vitamina C e E. O consumo de doses maiores coloca em risco a saúde pela alta toxicidade e por favorecer o aparecimento de anorexia, hipercalcemia, lesão hepática e renal (2,3).
O zinco está envolvido no processo de respiração celular e sua deficiência em atletas pode gerar anorexia, perda de peso, fadiga, queda no rendimento em provas de endurance (resistência) e risco de osteoporose. Entretanto, as evidências científicas não justificam o uso sistemático do zinco em suplementação nutricional. Segundo a DRI (Dietary Reference Intakes), a dose diária recomendada para adultos é de no máximo 11 mg/dia de zinco para homens e 8 mg/dia para mulheres (2-5).
Atletas em dietas de restrição calórica podem sofrer deficiências no aporte de minerais. A falta de cálcio e ferro, por exemplo, pode causar fadiga e anemia, afetando a performance (desempenho) e o sistema imunológico. Recomenda-se que a dieta contenha quantidades mínimas de 1.000 mg/dia de cálcio, 15 mg/dia de ferro para mulheres e 10 mg/dia para homens. Tais necessidades são contempladas pela manipulação dietética e, em último caso, pela suplementação multivitamínica (2-5).
Contudo, o estresse dos exercícios pode resultar numa adaptação bioquímica muscular que aumenta as necessidades nutricionais. O ajuste da dieta, em termos de macronutrientes, para as maiores necessidades calóricas decorrentes das atividades esportistas, proporciona concomitantemente ajuste no consumo de
micronutrientes. Portanto, o estilo de vida saudável, incluindo dieta balanceada elevado consumo de frutas e vegetais ricos em nutrientes com ação antioxidante e de acordo com as DRIs, é a melhor maneira de orientar esportistas e atletas. Se houver necessidade do uso de suplementos alimentares, é importante que se mantenha a alimentação da forma mais saudável possível e que se tenha a orientação de um profissional especializado.
