Dore's appt

<< < (6/41) > >>

Zaini:
Dore,

You'll have to be regular with your supplements,and may i ask how much calcium,Vitamin D and zinc?,and why not magnesium?And i think you should increase your dose of Vitamin E to 400 IU daily.
Do you like tea? If yes please start taking it after meals,and if its green tea its more better,because green tea is a very good anti oxidant,plus it will inhibit iron absorption from meals.
And take turmeric or Curcumin with milk if you can,again turmeric is a very good anti oxidant,while milk will give you calcium.

Take care,

Zaini.

Dori:
Owh yes, I do take magnesium too. I can not look for the contains of those tablets now, because I am supposed to learn. Yes, I love tea...but not when I feel ill. I do sometimes take green tea, but I prefer black tea, especially Earl Grey. I know that tea inhibit the iron absorption. I always try to take it after my meals. Btw do you know that milk does the same as tea? We have never milk in the fridge. We do have turkish yoghurt always, but only my mother takes it. Can you take tumeric with yoghurt?

Thank you

Zaini:
Dore,

Milk does not have the same function as tea,yogurt is also a good source of calcium,you can turmeric with anything,i don't know how much it is used if any,in European cooking,but we use it on daily basis in cooking.

Manal:
Zaini, what Dore meant by'' milk has the same function as tea'' is that the calcium found in milk helps in preventing the absoarption of iron too

Dore you can put a small teaspoon of curcumin on youghurt or honey

Dori:
Manal does say what I tried to say. I got the information from the Cooking with less Iron book from the Iron Disorder Institute. I dont have the book, but someone gave me the information.
As for the cooking: The Dutch cookery use almost zero flavours (nutmeg, savory and ....chive? I dont like the first two). But we cook Italian food often and that has more flavours.  Btw one of the Dutch cheese is cummin cheese, but like I said before I dont like cummin. What can I say more?  :dunno I spend most of the weeks one day by K. family and my niece and I always make dinner that evening. My niece don't like potatoes so we often cook 'exotic'. We only help my uncle with cooking on thursday, because that is potato-day (and his free day).

The ontopic news: I am still a bit short of breathe so it still might be only a virus. (And I am still sleepy).

I will write the tips down before I forgot them.

 Have a good tuesday!!!
