Did you know...
- that if you don't get enough vitamin A, you can get night blindness, excessively dry skin, and dry eyes due to malfunctioning tear glands. But if you get too MUCH vitamin A it can interfere with your growth, menstruation, and cause headaches, nausea, and jaundice. (That doesn't sound like much fun...)
- vitamin D is the only vitamin your body produces on it's own! (Hip hip hooray for our body!)
- There are 8 B vitamins. Vitamin B1=Thiamine, vitamin B2=Riboflavin, B3=Niacin, B6=Pyridoxine, B12=Cobalamin, and Folic acid, Pantothenic acid, and Biotin. (why do only 5 of them have numbers - and not even in the right order! Can't you people count? Sheesh.)
- Vitamin C is also called ascorbic acid. Found in lots of fruit and veggies (but citrus fruits are the BEST!!! or fresh strawberries... yum...)
- Vitamin D is used in the body to retain calcium and phosphorus. (That seems weird to me... phosphorus is the glowing stuff that you see when you dig in the sand at the beach at night. If you've never done that, you need to!)
- The use of Vitamin E in the body is "not clearly established" but it's an essential element in more than 20 vertebrate species! (HEAR THAT! That means PEOPLE too! Eat it folks!)
- Vitamin K is used in the coagulation of blood and is most plentiful in alfalfa and fish livers. (Yum yum. =P actually, ick, ick and double dutch ick.)
- Unless otherwise told, the best sources of all these vitamins are in NATURAL SOURCES! Not pills, but veggies and fruit and food stuff. Not pills. Not ever pills. No pills. Have I made that clear? No? Ok, NOT PILLS!!! I only put that pick up because it kinda worked with what I'm talking about.
So those are the main vitamins we need to stay healthy in our BODIES... what about spiritually? There are 'vitamins' that are much more important for us - and they can be found in fruit too: the Fruit of the Spirit.
Galatians 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
So that was my random 'lesson' for the day. Sorry readers, I haven't had a creative writing spree for a while. I'll get one soon, no worries! Keep reading!
Salama.

I understand all about the "creative spree's," they come and they go, it works better if you forget about it and let them come naturally (this also tends to create better posts).
Wow. That's a big handful of vitamins.
I'm sad to say that I don't take my vitamins.
BUT I took the life quiz and it said I wouldn't die till I'm 80!!! xD
Even tho I don't take vitamins.
Provided I don't get run over by a train or the rapture doesn't occur...it might be fun to live until 80. xD
So erm I haven't been online in 2 days but I'm gonna go on facebook in a little bit and then I'll try to find you. My name is Katie, so, yeah.
