#vitamins

I have a boyfriend, his name is Paulo, he is Portuguese himself, and before that I had a relationship when the guy had digestive problems, and he called me fat, because because of this he was like a skeleton, and I, with my height, are 156 cm, and for some reason 53 kg was fat for him, so he wrote all sorts of nasty things to me from all over the pages.

---

I also had a little belly, but it did not appear from food, but because I started taking fish oil at home. All sorts of vitamins to stay thin. I generally can’t gain weight like that, because if the weight is too much, I might faint.

---

When I met Paulo,let's start with the fact that he knows English,I think that's really great.And do you know what he told me?You may be fat for that moron,but for me you are a very beautiful,small,and slender girl.

---

You know,if a guy is normal and everything is fine with him,then he loves not for his weight,but for the presence of brains in his head. So develop yourself more often.I have read more than 500 books in my life, and now I am studying a little mathematics.

---

Of course,I read them in Ukrainian, because I am Ukrainian.And you know,this doesn’t affect if you go to clubs.It’s just easier for me,I like to meet smarter people.

Assuming your diet has no deficiencies to start with, your body is constantly making hormones. If it needs to wait for some nutrient to show up, there's no guarantee that it will show up when needed.

The various organs that are making hormones are running 24/7. They may slow down at times, but they work to ensure that there's a steady supply and a small reserve if needed. Not all hormones are always free floating in your body. Some, like adrenaline, are produced on demand; others like oxytocin are produced following specific things your brain or body does.

Some control your fluid levels and blood pressure, heart rhythm, skeletal mass, and some keep your immune system functional. Your red blood cells would not be produced or they’d be deformed and non-functional.

our body is water. It’s an essential element to keep the body healthy because it cleans the body and eliminates toxins. It is also an effective vehicle for transporting the vitamins and mineral salts that our cells need.

---

Water is used by the body to remove toxins and waste products. When there is less water in the body, the heart has to work harder to pump the oxygenated blood to all the cells and other major organs, and that can cause fatigue.

---

In most cases, the main reason for headaches and migraines is dehydration.

---

When we drink enough water, the metabolism rate increases, that is, the food we eat breaks down properly. This helps the digestive system to function properly and to prevent constipation.

---

Water helps replenish skin tissues, as well as hydrate it and increase its elasticity. When the body receives enough water, the skin will be hydrated.

---

The thermal properties of water and its ability to release body heat when sweat evaporates from the skin’s surface are of great help in maintaining body temperature throughout the day. A well-regulated body temperature will make us feel more energetic and keep our muscles and joints lubricated, preventing us from having cramps and sprains.

My crush offered to let me vent to her with all the shit I've been through this year. Going back to the office and socializing with my team in person.
Got surgery that I've been needing for around a year. Took months to get to the point where I finally decided to get help.

Spent quality time with my partner before he flies off for work for 2-3 weeks. Bitter sweet knowing that I won't be seeing him for weeks, but those were the best moments and feeling I had in weeks.
I did a colleague a favor, expecting maybe lunch in return. I had a good time, got a free lunch, and was paid $100.
I’ve been a nurse for eight years. This past year broke me and I thought about leaving nursing for good. I decided to give it one last chance. I started a new job on Monday and I absolutely love it. I am excited to go back next week!
A couple years ago I saved a woman’s life by forcing her to go to the ER after she passed out. She was mad at me because she didn’t think it was anything serious but she went and she ended up in complete heart block and coded in the ER and have to have a pacemaker put in. I saw her yesterday and she remembered me and thanked me for saving her life. It’s a good feeling.
Saw my mum for the first time in two and a half years. I flew from US to see her in UK. It was a complete unexpected surprise for her too.
