Hey
Not sure if this is the right spot for this—I tried searching for a thread about vitamins but came up empty, so if the mods need to move this somewhere else, please feel free...
So, here's the deal. I went to get one of those vitamin and mineral screenings done—you know, the kind where you hold a metal device in one hand while they run the reading on the other.
Everything actually looked great, except for my calcium and omega levels. The technician was honestly pretty shocked; she couldn't wrap her head around how low they were. To be honest, I’m a little confused by it too, but oh well.
I'm wondering, though—how reliable is that kind of testing really? She suggested I cut back on coffee, which I totally agree with and plan to do. She also told me to scale back on meat 😕. But why? Specifically regarding protein intake... that's a bit of a headache for me because I work out regularly and need to eat plenty afterward—plus, I tend to lose weight too easily, which is the last thing I want...
