Do Multivitamins Really Work?

It seems counterintuitive to think that multivitamins don’t work at all, and in fact you are just peeing out all that money you spent on the vitamins.

Millions of people take multivitamins daily, which are supposed to help people who may not be getting any of the vitamins in their daily foods. People who tend to eat fast food and crappier foods may be missing out on a lot of the vitamins and minerals we need to keep a healthy body and lifestyle. Millions of people in American have obesity and are definitely not eating healthy foods therefore they are missing out on many of the vitamins that you may need to prevent sickness and immunity. But do these multivitamins we buy monthly actually help and if we already get enough of the certain vitamins in our daily food intake could the vitamins have a negative effect on us?

People who lack a good diet are definitely missing out on some vitamins to help maintain a good and healthy mind and body. Taking a multivitamin can help supplement you with those vitamins you’re missing out on and although getting the vitamins from real food are always better a multivitamin isn’t such a bad idea. The chances of people with a bad diet getting too much of a vitamin from the multis are very low as they are barely getting any vitamins in anyways. Just because some research says you’re pissing away all these multivitamins you’re taking in doesn’t mean that none of the vitamins in the supplement are actually helping out your body and immunity.

Extreme Parenting

It seems counterintuitive to think that lots pf parents focus on their Childs academic stats more than their mental health and happiness.

Many asian parents are known to have the stereotype of being hard on their kids to get good grades and be successful. They focus a lot more on how well they do in school and their grades over their social life and extracurricular activities. Many argue as if this is a bad thing to do or not as it seems they just want their kid to be successful in life. Making school and grades a Childs number one priority though may affect their social life and happiness.

This strictness to be successful in school seems to be going away as parents are allowing their kids to do more and have more fun in their schooling years. Although academic success is important, having a good state of mind and social life can be just as important for a kid growing up as it gives they personality and their own way of thinking.

Clean Girls Get Sicker?

It seems counterintuitive for people who are exposed to germs at an earlier age are less likely to get diseases later on in life.

Boys and girls at younger ages are usually a lot different when it comes to hygiene and getting “dirty”. Girls are usually expected to be constantly clean and really focus on how they look or maybe smell. Boys however don’t really care about hygiene at young ages and tend to be outside and playing around in the dirt or in the woods exploring.

Certain diseases or illnesses such as asthma affect boys usually at a young age but seem to go away after puberty and later on. For girls it seems that as they grow older asthma seems to affect them more and more as they age. Comparing the two genders, women have a 8.5% risk of getting asthma while boys is a bit lower at 7.1%. These germs that everyone fears and wants their kids to stay away from may actually be improving their immune system to other diseases and illnesses.
