Vitamin Drop

Well I've tying to put list of important vitamins and minerals that have come up multiples time in my life that are really good for your health of the body especially females, likes myself and many others who got really bad mood swings. You don't need that crap the doctors been giving you. Your body unbalance mentally and physically from day to day fast/processed foods to sit on are ass all day at a computer at work, wondering what time it is to leave.

I found that Vitamins C+D, K, B12 and Iron are really important in diet especailly as you get older.I went to doctor this month and took a blood test which I highly recommend; as well as allergy test. She told me everything was fine except that I have acute case of Anemia still, who would thought. But this problem when your body is low Iron or any other nutrients it will compensate by making more of something else and for me it was bacteria(yeast) and fatigue of course. Most people don't know that most body problem happen because of today's industrial diet, lack of exercises, and hygiene(high school health class just flooding back to me). So what can you do? Well...

1. Excerise (30-45 mins)
2. Keep Clean
3. Eat Whole Organic foods("Natural" is gimmick word industry uses, "Natural cut sea-salt fries", my a$$)
    And read the label.

Important Vitamins:

Vitamin C

In humans, vitamin C is essential to a healthy diet as well as being a highly effective antioxidant, acting to lessen oxidation stress. Also vitamin C enhances iron absorption, Scurvy is an avitaminosis resulting from lack of vitamin C, since without this vitamin, the synthesized collagen is too unstable to perform its function. Scurvy leads to the formation of brown spots on the skin, spongy gums, and bleeding from all mucous membranes.



  • Fruits/Vegetables: Red/Green foods like strawberries, red peppers, greens and many more plants contains  Vitamin C.
  • Meat(grass feed of course): Liver, Heart, Tongue and Fresh Milk contains high amounts of Vitamin C.
  • Supplemented Vitamin C or fortified orange juice.

+(plus) 
 Vitamin D 
"The Sunshine Vitamin"

Vitamin D appears to have good effects on immune function and cells of the body.The more common supplement are D2/D3 supports bone health and boost immune system

 D2 or Lichen is really good for brain health and can also be found in Alfalfa and Mushrooms.

Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol) is produced photochemically in the skin from 7-dehydrocholesterol
7-dehydrocholesterol is produced in relatively large quantities in the skin of most vertebrate animals, including humans.7-dehydrocholesterol reacts with ultraviolet light of UVB type at wavelengths between 270 and 300 nm, with peak synthesis occurring between 295 and 297 nm.
Spending 15 minutes in the sun  a day will provide a healthy dose of Vitamin D3.


You can also get your daily dose from:
  • Fish/oil
  • Eel
  • Eggs
  • Liver 

 Vitamin K 


 Taking broad-spectrum antibiotics can reduce vitamin K production in the gut by nearly 74% in people compared with those not taking these antibiotics.Taking Vitamin K increases bone health.

Vitamin K1 is synthesized by plants, and is found in highest amounts in green leafy vegetables because it is directly involved in photosynthesis. It may be thought of as the "plant form" of vitamin K. It is active in animals since animals can easily convert it to vitamin K2. Also can be found in chicken/egg, an cheese,
Vitamin K2, the form used by enzymes in animals, has several subtypes, which differ in isoprenoid chain length.

Can also be Injected or Supplemented

Potassium (Lowers symptoms of PMS and hypertension)
 
I mixed up my minerals and vitamins because Potassium on the Periodic Table is also K

Clear cases of potassium deficiency (as defined by symptoms, signs and a below-normal blood level of the element) are rare in healthy individuals.Epidemiological studies and studies in animals subject to hypertension indicate that diets high in potassium can reduce the risk of hypertension and possibly stroke, and a potassium deficiency combined with an inadequate thiamine intake has produced heart disease in rats.

Foods rich in potassium include:
  • Parsley, dried apricots, dried milk, chocolate, various nuts (especially almonds and pistachios), potatoes, bamboo shoots, bananas, avocados, soybeans, and bran,it is also present in sufficient quantities in most fruits, vegetables, meat and fish.

Iron (Fe)

 Iron deficiency  is one of the most common of the nutritional deficiencies. Iron is present in all cells in the human body, and has several vital functions; as a carrier of oxygen to the tissues from the lungs in the form of hemoglobin, as a transport medium for electrons within the cells in the form of cytochromes, and as an integral part of enzyme reactions in various tissues. Too little iron can interfere with these vital functions and lead to morbidity and death.
  
Food sources of iron
  • Meats: red meat, poultry and insects.
  • Non-haeme: lentils, beans, leafy vegetables, pistachios, tofu, fortified bread, and fortified breakfast cereals.
  • Seafood: clam, mussel, octopus and cooked oyster 
  • Iron skillet (pan) 
  • Molasses

Vitamin B12 

Vitamin B12 was discovered from its relationship to the disease pernicious anemia, which is an autoimmune disease in which parietal cells of the stomach responsible for secreting intrinsic factor are destroyed. Vitamin B12 deficiency can potentially cause severe and irreversible damage, especially to the brain and nervous system. At levels only slightly lower than normal, a range of symptoms such as fatigue, depression, and poor memory may be experienced.

Sources
  • fish 
  • shellfish, 
  • meat (especially liver),
  •  poultry, 
  • eggs, 
  • milk (dairy)
Supplemented or injection or fortified breakfast cereals are a particularly valuable source of vitamin B12.

K-reggae

I really love when K-pop song use Reggae beats.It just makes me so giddy inside lol.No matter how cheesy the guest rapper is.

But, first I wanna talk about this group that are sorely underrated and a lot ppl just compare them to FT Island or CNBLUE. . . jeez REALLY. . .but to me they kind of more on the emo/edgy side when they debuted. And that group is LEDApple. . . Omg the first single and MV was amazing and I love there concept and futurist instruments ties in each video. But I really want the dude guitar like seriously so, I can just pretend to be rock poser from the future. Not that many ppl I saw in the comments of of there new Let the Wind Blow MV liked them at first and this song pretty much gave them a second chance (LED Apple Fighting). Plus the lead singer Jason is hot with his guy-liner and blonde dew and he kind looks like Gazette when I first saw him. (I wonder if TOP and Jason will get along.)


Sexy Hae!!!
I also like this song they did when first started to really promote in the being was "Birthday Killer" they really rock it in their MV. They were funky cool I kind of wish this song was apart a dark/dramatic Anime opening or ending because it has that kind of feel.But there are a lot of anti-fans it's really sad and they have like 300k views compared to other highest view which, is I think 40 million+ in K-pop mv alone. They are so talented, and good looking. Why so much hate? Okay, enough fangirling, I was just trying to get them some more love especially, for ppl who are new to K-pop/indie/rock.


Next, 2ne1's Lonely and I Don't Care 


I think this is the first group I heard that did Reggae version of songs and that made even more happy.

Here are Brave Girls' Easily

The vocals on this track is really pretty and skull is makes cheesy rap, Hopefully they make a comeback soon.~Hwaiting

Dal✮Shabet's OH!!WOW!!with Koonta


This album and the first are my favorites especially their song Shakalaka

Fiestar's Wicked


 When I first heard this song, Omg it's was my jam. . it so freak'n wicked.

MissA's Breathe

I kind of like their pass song more than newer songs and some songs I wish they would promote like Lips was much better song then Touch, just say'n. Now there promoting album based off Destiny Child and Beyonce albums.



~Happy Black Friday Guys
and Go watch Breaking Dawn;
Keep calm and bc you might act ghetto.

Shiseido's Brightening White Lucent kit

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

Last month I went to Mitsuwa to buy dinner and while I was waiting it I decided to make a purchase from the Shiseido counter. I'd been meaning to do this every time I would go in there plus, it was my first time buying Shiseido products.I was looking for something to lighten my acne scares. The kind ladies recommended the brighten line. I asked them "Do guys have a sample size version," and sure nuff they did. It was a travel size kit/set version that cost about $55 dollars and they also included a sample size of the BIO-PERFORMANCE Super Eye Contour Cream and bio-performance Advanced Super Revitalizing Cream for the night time which I gave to my mom.


 Description:

An introductory kit of Shiseido’s White Lucent cleansing foam, softener, and day moisturizer with SPF. White Lucent skincare illuminates skin’s natural beauty for a pure radiance that glows from within. The collection contains a Triple-Action Brightening System, preventing discoloration while visibly diminishing existing dark spots and uneven skin tone. This three-step daily brightening regimen includes travel sizes of Brightening Cleansing Foam (2.8 OZ.), Brightening Balancing Softener Enriched  (3.3 FL. OZ.), and Brightening Protective Emulsion SPF15 (1 FL. OZ.). A $75.00 value.


I'm thinking of buying the eye cream and moisturizer for my mom since it one of most problem areas for women. Since Black Friday is just few hours away this might be good gift to give to your mothers or grandmothers. It has a nice foral scent;the moisturizer is light while the cleanser and toner/lotion is very gentle  moisturizing. I give this product a four out five.

E.via My World

Napper a.k.a E.via born on January 15, 1986 (I know she looks younger than me O_O), real name Lee Ok Joo.  Why am I talking E.via. . .well because she's a boom South Korea Female rapper but her lyrics seem a  bit risky to some of  her S. Korean listeners and viewers..E.Via takes a stand on the rap scene. Bringing her charming and cuteness and exceptional rap skills to compete with a market occupied almost entirely by male artists, and multi-talented groups.  



All in all, she writes her own music and can play the piano which you can see her play a little in "Diary featuring Sori MV." She is known for being Korea's fastest female rapper (you can see her talent in Shake and Black & Red) also being compared to rapper Outsider. I hope to see them do collab someday.


She pretty much got banned from most of the music shows because her musical-self-expression. Her first EP released in 2009 called “E.via a.k.a. Happy Evil” which included songs "Dairy" and "[Explicit]Oppa! na Haedodwae?,"  which got her silenced from public performance.  Despite the ban, E.via's album and "Oppa, can you do it?" received overwhelming responses on online music sites.


 She has about 5 albums, the 5th being "E.Viagradation: The Black & Red Part 1" with a bolder and more mature look and sound. The Black & Red Part 1 of her album features seven tracks including collaborations with Seo Sun and Isu of M.C The Max. 


 E.Via also released a single this year called "What I know how to play a little," a brighter wide spectrum of music that had remained loyal during the song "Chu" had been exciting, fast-tempo songs such as "Shake" and "Hey," which are favorite songs from her. I found this interview she did but there are no subs -_- but still watch. I hope she gains more even more popularity for unique rapping skills and outside box beats and lyrics.

hwaiting. . .Fighting E.VIA

Update: I just wanted to let the fans of E.via know that she has left her label D-Line Art Media she wasn't able to express herself through her music without Korean Government being butt hurt about it she is now an underground artist under a new name...eh you thought I was going to tell you her new name but I'm going just link you to her name and more. I would like to see her take another crack at the music business under labels like YG or Jungle with Tasha and Tiger JK as some netizen has suggested as well. But I finally got my wish, she finally did a collab with Outsider and came out with a new song called CONT LOL. I hope this helps her get to what she wants. I'm going to add her new stuff to a playlist with her new name to go along with it.

I ♥ Design

Hey Guys,

So last week I watching AXLIVE and they were giving a lot stuff away. And guess what, I won something along with other viewers threw their Facebook page. They gave away a lot anime merchandise and weren't anime I usually watch as you can see. But if there is a will there is way even if don't know so,  as anime lover server with a little competition I entered until won something.I won a poster from question they posted "Who is the main villain of Sengoku Basara. . .Oda Nobunaga" and got a thumps up for the conformation that I won.


Anyways, I are some posters I've collected. . .

 When I was going to high school I use to see his work every where along with Shepard Fairey. Well I got meet him and a lot his stuff was already sold but I got my hands on this poster and T-shirt and he gladly signed both


 I got this poster about at AX' 2010
