    The clinic recommended by student health services sucked - I went in with a VERY bad UTI (and a pre-existing history of kidney disease) in freshman year and they were like "yeah, you definitely have an infection, but we're not giving you anything for it, just drink lots of water" - so honestly you were probably better off having just googled the symptoms anyway.

    I’m mildly convinced artists don’t like cooking because its the opposite creative energy void that sucks up the mental creative juices we’d rather expend on creating art. If we could survive without eating at all, many of us wouldn’t miss it 🤷‍♀️

    It’s always an Experience when you have to learn the importance of giving your body what it needs to function the hard way. I ended up in the ER due to a lack of potassium! It’s an important electrolyte and nerve conductor that keeps your heart beating, who knew? By the time the chest pains set in I was VERY close to cardiac arrest. I now also drink orange juice religiously for that sweet, sweet potassium- and the extra vitamin C obviously doesn’t hurt either.
    Thank you for sharing your stories! It’s more common than you think for college kids learning how to feed themselves to end up with major deficiencies. I knew at least one person that also got scurvy for similar reasons. Makes you appreciate dining halls.

    Several years ago I used to get sick very often, like a cold once per month or so, but then, because of devaluation, all stores rose the price of all junk snacks, so I said fk it, I will eat fruit instead. Turns out I didn't have a weak immune system, I had a vitamin deficiency for eating too much junk food and not enough fruits, that change of diet stopped the monthly colds.

    Because of issues with super picky eating since forever, possibly to the point of disorder (and possibly trauma-induced?), I don't think I've ever eaten a fruit or vegetable. I've had some orange juice before as a kid and sometimes have things fruit flavored (which I don't think counts) but besides that, nothing. The more I learn the more I wonder how I'm alive lmao

    Yeah it's actually true that lack of proper nutrition is a huge problem even today. You look at stuff like breakfast cereals and it's all full of processed shit, yet breakfast is the most critical meal of the day. Using multivitamins as a "cheat" to fix a poor diet never works because they don't absorb properly into your body (and they're still lacking real nutrients anyway).
    Also need to mention hydration, it's super important to get a full quota of water intake per day PLUS what you need to offset any dehydrating drinks. People have for real been hospitalised from extreme dehydration and their internal organs start shutting down.

  • @BeepBoopBee
    @BeepBoopBee Před 9 měsíci

    Pro tips for those that need easy meals that don't take a lot of time:
    Order takeout with fruits or veggies like a pizza with mushrooms and bell pepper or sushi with avocado and mango.
    If there's a grocery store nearby, pick up a bottle of smoothie or fruit juice and make sure to have at least one glass of it with breakfast.
    If you can't get fresh fruits, try to eat cereal bars or such with fruit pieces in it.
    If you eat fries or burgers, try to include ketchup to get the tomato vitamins a little.
    And finally: if you don't get enough vitamins due to a dietary restriction (like vegetarians not getting enough B12 for example), make sure to take a daily vitamin supplement.
    All these are small and don't really take a lot of time. But it sure as hell will help you ingest enough vitamins so you don't end up giving yourself scurvy like star has 😂
