Vitamin overdose

One of the biggest trends within health and fitness is supplements. There is supplements to make you perform better, to get bigger muscle growth and also vitamins in pills that will keep you healthy. But do we really need to spend millions of dollars every year on supplements?

Durng the last few years there are many studies that have confirmed that to high intake of supplements can lead to serious illness. For example; Too much of vitamin A can cuse nausea, loss of appetite, headache, peeling skin, hair loss, menstrual irregularity and enlarged liver to name a few.
Too much of vitamin D can cuase kidney stones and overcalcification of the bones.
Too much of Vitmain E can cause blotchy skin.

Another thing that is very popular is protein shakes, protein bars, protein shots etc that also very often contais alot of sugar.
A diet in which protein makes up more than 30% of your caloric intake causes a buildup of toxic. So-called ketogenic diets can thrust your kidneys into overdrive in order to flush these ketones from your body. As your kidneys rid your body of these toxic ketones, you can lose a significant amount of water, which puts you at risk of dehydration, particularly if you exercise heavily.
Losing alot of water you lose muscle mass and bone calcium. The dehydration also strains your kidneys and puts stress on your heart. So stick to about 15% of protein of your daily calorie intake. Just make sure you eat some kind of protein (meat, fish, poultry, beans, eggs etc.) with every meal.

I think this is a really interesting subject and I have been discussing it with a few doctors and food experts and we most often agree.
Think through what you are eating! Make sure you eat your greens, fruit and over all a healthy meal. We normaly get the vitamins and protein we need by eating healthy.
Listen to your body and if you don't feel good, go see your doctor.
I would recommend to take 1 (one) multivitamin pill a day. Thats all you need! :)

Go green!
