5 major components of health
Today we went outside and focused on the five different types of health. Physical health like the sun giving us vitamin e when it hits our skin and like a bee sting because your body is having a reaction that would make you swell up. social health like people that litter and don't really think about anything else and vandalism. we talked about covering up graphed would better help prevent it from happening and also getting people to come together and enjoy a sporting event. And Mental health we had a time limit to reach a goal so we had to manage the time so we got to the spot in 15 seconds. or in sports where you need to know were you need to bea at all times. emotional health is helping eacher deal with things stress is not necessary a bad thing. and the last type of health is spiritual health also deals with working together and try to accomplish a goal.
We also watched a video on the Internet about a lady that is a big fan of juicing. se gave us rules for how to juice rule one was to wash the food you were going to use with a brush to rid the fruit or vegi of bacteria so the drink can be more healthy. some foods you peel (citrus) and some you don't others you need to remove the seeds. (apples) some you need to remove the tops.(carrots). and white rinds you should keep as much as possible. and some celery you just wash and juice.

Tobacco projects
dealing with withdrawal
There are two types of withdrawal from nicotine. They are physical and psychological. The physical types are not life threatening just annoying you can just replace the nicotine to lower the symptoms. They can be limited and you can still get the urge to smoke just because it is a habit like watching TV or eating at certain parts of the day. One way to help fight the urge to smoke is to realize that it is a urge and try to stop it. Some people say they have these symptoms, I’ll just use it to get through this rough spot. Today is not a good day; I’ll quit tomorrow. How bad is tobacco, really? Uncle Harry chewed all his life and he lived to be over 90. You've got to die of something. Life is no fun without smoking. The main part of withdrawal is realizing that it is all in your head and you don't actually have to smoke a cigarette. You can also help yourself by staying away from others that smoke so you feel like you don't have to. You should change your habits and switch from alcohol and coffee to juice and water will help you stay away from cigarettes. And get some exercises instead of taking a coffee break. you something to take the place of the cigarettes like sugarless gum or hard candy, raw vegetables like carrot sticks, or sunflower seeds. Do exercises and other activity's to keep your hands bizzy or take a hot bath. or read a book. Take deep breaths as you would when you were smoking. Whenever you feel the urge try and hold it off for 10 minuets.

wild wild west - voorhees middle school (): What are the side effects of Darvon?
Ivan Montoya: Interesting question! The active ingredient of Darvon (R) is propoxyphene, which is an analgesic that can be prescribed by doctors. Some of the side-effects include somnolence, dizziness, lightheadedness, drowsiness, constipation, mood changes and headache. One of the biggest concerns with this medication is that it can produce addiction. You can find more information about this medication at: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginfo/medmaster/a682325.html
Kristin Burke - Sterling (): Why do drugs make you feel high?
Joe Frascella: That's a great question!
The main reason drugs make you feel high is because they affect particular parts of our brain. Most abused drugs produce intense feelings of pleasure. We know that the high and rush result from the direct effects that drugs of abuse have on the "reward system" in the brain. Drugs cause a quick release of the brain chemical called dopamine. This initial sensation of euphoria is followed by other effects, which differ with the type of drug used. For example, with stimulants such as cocaine, the "high" is followed by feelings of power, self-confidence, and increased energy, yet it is important to know that users often report negative side effects, such as respiratory difficulties, heart problems, strokes, and sometimes seizures. In contrast, the euphoria caused by other drugs, such as heroin (aka opioids) is followed by feelings of relaxation and satisfaction. For some more specific information on the topic, you might want to check out: http://www.drugabuse.gov/ or "The Science of Addiction" at http://www.nida.nih.gov/scienceofaddiction/.

Marsha Lopez:
That is a complicated question because not all drug deaths are specifically identified as such. Intentional misuse of hazardous materials, for example, results in a lot of poisoning deaths and they may not be recognized. In general about 17,000 deaths a year are from use of illicit drugs. In addition, 440,000 die from tobacco related illnesses and 50,000 from alcohol every year

Marsha Lopez:
Among the general population age 12 and older, the most frequently used "drug" is alcohol and the most frequently abused illegal drug is marijuana. More info can be found at www.oas.samhsa.gov/nsduh.
wild wild west - voorhees middle school (): How addictive are prescription drugs?
Joe Frascella:
Great question! It turns out that prescription drugs, when not taken as prescribed, can be very highly addictive. We have found that long-term use also can lead to physical dependence, a condition where the body adapts to the presence of the substance and withdrawal symptoms occur if use is reduced abruptly. This can also include tolerance, which means that higher doses of a medication must be taken to obtain the same initial effects. You might be interested to know that physical dependence is not the same as addiction—physical dependence can occur even with appropriate long-term use of opioid and other medications. Addiction is defined as compulsive, often uncontrollable drug use in spite of negative consequences. And, prescription drugs can become very addictive when not used properly.
Nick - Tecumseh (): what happens when u do pcp?
David Shurtleff:
PCP (phencyclidine) was actually developed as general anesthetic for surgery. When someone takes PCP, it can distort perceptions of sight and sound and produce feelings of detachment (dissociation) from the environment and self. Because of this, PCP is known as a "dissociative anesthetic." PCP acts by altering the distribution of the neurotransmitter glutamate throughout the brain. Glutamate is involved in the perception of pain, responses to the environment, and memory. Many PCP users are brought to emergency rooms because of overdose or because of the drug's unpleasant effects. For more information about PCP, see http://www.drugabuse.gov/ResearchReports/Hallucinogens/Hallucinogens.html.

Vitamin B-1 (Thiamine)
Write a complete type 3 paper and include the following FCA’s: 1) overview, benefits, natural sources, how to use, cautions, deficiencies, overdose, side effects, interactions. 2) Look up words that you do not know. You will be presenting your project to the class.3) correct spelling, grammar, and punctuation.
Thiamine is a very important vitamin because it helps you metabolize your fat, however, it is water soluble, which means that it disintegrates in water. After it is in the body, the water in your body makes it disappear in some parts, but not completely because the nutrients in Thiamine store the vitamin in your muscle tissues. It helps keep your heart healthy along with your digestive system and your nervous system. However, its not able to be stored in the body, minus your muscle tissues, so you have to take in the vitamin frequently to remain healthy.
The vitamin, Thiamine can be found in bananas, pork, spinach, breads, yeast, and many more.
If you have a Thiamine deficiency meaning that you cant take in and keep Thiamine, or that you just don't eat the proper foods for it, it results in having no nutrition. Or, if you are an alcoholic, the alcohol takes away the nutrition that some of your foods, and can lead to death or wasting.

Vitamin D also known as Cholecalcifero plays an enormous role in the development of bone growth, Vitamins D is used to absorb calcium and phosphorus from the body to create this bone. In a section from a website it states that Vitamin D can be found in different sources: “Great sources of this supplement include fortified milk, oily fish, liver, and eggs.”(http://www.vitamins-nutrition.org//vitamins-guide/vitamin-d-cholecalciferol.html) There are many benefits that Vitamin D can give to the body by helping prevent substance abusers, nutritional intake, and extended stress. Vitamin D can also help people that do not receive enough sunshine by giving them the needed nutrients, vegetarians that don’t receive enough Vitamin D, and patients that suffer from cystic fibrosis patients. Vitamin D can be found in many different sources, in a section from a website of health listed them: cod-liver oil, egg substitutes, halibut-liver oil, herring, mackerel, salmon, sardines, sunlight, tuna, and Vitamin-D-fortified milk. (http://www.vitamins-nutrition.org//vitamins-guide/vitamin-d-cholecalciferol.html) There are many different ways that Vitamin D can be taken or used, but the best way that it can be obtained is through its liquid state. Tablets for Vitamin D can also be taken to help get the needed amount. When taking Vitamin D you should be cautious and consult your doctor and from a statement from a health website it pronounced that:“Consult your doctor if you have:have planned pregnancy while taking vitamin D, epilepsy, heart or blood-vessel disease, kidney, liver or pancreatic disease, chronic diarrhea, intestinal problems, sarcoidosis and if you are over 55:higher potential for adverse reactions and side effects.”(http://www.vitamins-nutrition.org/vitamins-guide/vitamin-d-cholecalciferol.html)There are some symptoms of deficiency that could occur would be weakness in the muscles, bone pain tenderness, osteoporosis, arthritis, cancer and in children rickets.(http://www.vitamins-nutrition.org/vitamins-guide/vitamin-d-cholecalciferol.html) There are many different signs of an overdose of Vitamin D, in a segment of a health cite described these signs:“high blood pressure, Irregular heartbeat, nausea, weight loss, seizures, abdominal pain, appetite loss, mental-and physical-growth retardation, premature hardening of arteriesKidney damage.” (http://www.vitamins-nutrition.org/vitamins-guide/vitamin-d-cholecalciferol.html)There are many different side effects that are caused by Vitamin D but these are found to be the most important:The loss of appetite, dry mouth, nausea or vomiting, increased thirst, mental confusion, and headaches. If any of these systems should occur discuss with your doctor straight away.Vitamin D has different sorts of interactions such as:“Anticonvulsants: Vitamin efficacy may be reduced.Barbiturates: Vitamin efficacy may be reduced.Calcitonin: Calcitonin effect reduced when treating hypercalcemia.Calcium (high doses): Risk of hypercalcemia increased. Cholestyramine: Vitamin absorption reduced.Colestipol: Vitamin absorption reduced.Cortisone: Vitamin absorption reduced.Digitalis preparations: Heartbeat irregularities increased.Diuretics, thiazide: Hypercalcemia risk increased.Hydration: Vitamin efficacy may be reduced.Mineral oil: Absorption of vitamin D increased.Phosphorus- containing medicines: Risk increased of too much phosphorus in blood.Primidone : Vitamin efficacy may be reduced.Vitamin-D derivatives: Increased potential for toxicity due to additive effects.Alcohol: Depletes storage of vitamin D in liver”(http://www.vitamins-nutrition.org//vitamins-guide/vitamin-d-cholecalciferol.html)These are very important interactions that Vitamin D can cause and should be taken seriously and looked into every few months.

Vitamin K is a group of 2-methilo-naphthoquinone derivatives. There are three notable forms of vitamin K, K1 (phytonadione, phylloquinone, phytonactone), K2 (menaquinones), which can be formed by natural bacteria in the intestines, and K3 (menadione), the most active synthetic form of the preparations K3-K7. Vitamin K plays an important role in blood clotting and bone metabolism. High serum concentrations of undercarboxylated osteocalcin and low serum concentrations of vitamin K are associated with lower bone mineral density and increased risk of hip fracture. Vitamin K supplements may improve bone mass in postmenopausal women. Vitamin K prevents calcification of arteries and other soft tissue. Calcification of organs and other soft tissue is an adverse consequence of aging. Vitamin K may play a role in the regulation of blood sugar. The pancreas, which makes insulin, has the second highest amount of vitamin K in the body. Vitamin K's primary function is to regulate normal blood clotting due to its role in the synthesis of prothrombin. Vitamin K supplements improve bone health and reduce risk of bone fractures, particularly in postmenopausal women who are at risk for osteoporosis. Three vitamin-K dependent proteins have been isolated in bone. Higher vitamin K levels correspond to greater bone density, while low levels of vitamin K have been found in those with osteoporosis. In bones, vitamin K mediates the gamma-carboxylation of glutamyl residues on several bone proteins, notably osteocalcin. Osteocalcin is a protein synthesized by osteoblasts (bone forming cells). The mineral-binding capacity of osteocalcin requires vitamin K-dependent gamma-carboxylation of three glutamic acid residues.
The recommended dietary allowance (RDA) for vitamin K is 80 mg per day for adult males and 65 mg per day for adult females, and 5 mg/day for the newborn infant. Rich sources of vitamin K include broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, kale, spinach and soybeans.
Vitamin K deficiency is very rare and occurs when there is an inability to absorb the vitamin from the intestinal tract. Vitamin K deficiency can also occur after prolonged treatment with oral antibiotics. Vitamin K deficiency is often the result of impaired absorption rather than not getting enough in the diet. Prolonged use of antibiotics can also cause a low level of this vitamin because they destroy some of the bacteria in the gut that help to produce vitamin K. Newborns are at risk for vitamin K deficiency. This is because their digestive tracts contain no vitamin K-producing bacteria. Vitamin K deficiency in adults is rare. When it occurs, it is found in people with diseases that prevent the absorption of fat. These diseases include cystic fibrosis, celiac disease, and cholestasis. Symptoms of vitamin K deficiency include easy bruisability, epistaxis, gastrointestinal bleeding, menorrhagia and hematuria.
There is no known toxicity associated with high doses of phylloquinone (vitamin K1), menaquinone (vitamin K2), or menadione (vitamin K3) and its derivatives. High intake of vitamin K is not recommended for individuals taking anticoagulant medications such as Warfarin (coumadin).

When shopping for your mango look for one that has smooter skin and has a yellowish color to it. Lastly you should be aware that mangos and juicers dont go good together. One way to aid this situation is dont refrigerate your mango

Vitamin B-1 (Thiamine)
Write a complete type 3 paper and include the following FCA’s: 1) overview, benefits, natural sources, how to use, cautions, deficiencies, overdose, side effects, interactions. 2) Look up words that you do not know. You will be presenting your project to the class.3) correct spelling, grammar, and punctuation.
Thiamine is a very important vitamin because it helps you metabolize your fat, however, it is water soluble, which means that it disintegrates in water. After it is in the body, the water in your body makes it disappear in some parts, but not completely because the nutrients in Thiamine store the vitamin in your muscle tissues. It helps keep your heart healthy along with your digestive system and your nervous system. However, its not able to be stored in the body, minus your muscle tissues, so you have to take in the vitamin frequently to remain healthy.
The vitamin, Thiamine can be found in bananas, pork, spinach, breads, yeast, and many more.
If you have a Thiamine deficiency meaning that you cant take in and keep Thiamine, or that you just don't eat the proper foods for it, it results in having no nutrition. Or, if you are an alcoholic, the alcohol takes away the nutrition that some of your foods, and can lead to death or wasting.

Vitamin D also known as Cholecalcifero plays an enormous role in the development of bone growth, Vitamins D is used to absorb calcium and phosphorus from the body to create this bone. In a section from a website it states that Vitamin D can be found in different sources: “Great sources of this supplement include fortified milk, oily fish, liver, and eggs.”(http://www.vitamins-nutrition.org//vitamins-guide/vitamin-d-cholecalciferol.html) There are many benefits that Vitamin D can give to the body by helping prevent substance abusers, nutritional intake, and extended stress. Vitamin D can also help people that do not receive enough sunshine by giving them the needed nutrients, vegetarians that don’t receive enough Vitamin D, and patients that suffer from cystic fibrosis patients. Vitamin D can be found in many different sources, in a section from a website of health listed them: cod-liver oil, egg substitutes, halibut-liver oil, herring, mackerel, salmon, sardines, sunlight, tuna, and Vitamin-D-fortified milk. (http://www.vitamins-nutrition.org//vitamins-guide/vitamin-d-cholecalciferol.html) There are many different ways that Vitamin D can be taken or used, but the best way that it can be obtained is through its liquid state. Tablets for Vitamin D can also be taken to help get the needed amount. When taking Vitamin D you should be cautious and consult your doctor and from a statement from a health website it pronounced that:“Consult your doctor if you have:have planned pregnancy while taking vitamin D, epilepsy, heart or blood-vessel disease, kidney, liver or pancreatic disease, chronic diarrhea, intestinal problems, sarcoidosis and if you are over 55:higher potential for adverse reactions and side effects.”(http://www.vitamins-nutrition.org/vitamins-guide/vitamin-d-cholecalciferol.html)There are some symptoms of deficiency that could occur would be weakness in the muscles, bone pain tenderness, osteoporosis, arthritis, cancer and in children rickets.(http://www.vitamins-nutrition.org/vitamins-guide/vitamin-d-cholecalciferol.html) There are many different signs of an overdose of Vitamin D, in a segment of a health cite described these signs:“high blood pressure, Irregular heartbeat, nausea, weight loss, seizures, abdominal pain, appetite loss, mental-and physical-growth retardation, premature hardening of arteriesKidney damage.” (http://www.vitamins-nutrition.org/vitamins-guide/vitamin-d-cholecalciferol.html)There are many different side effects that are caused by Vitamin D but these are found to be the most important:The loss of appetite, dry mouth, nausea or vomiting, increased thirst, mental confusion, and headaches. If any of these systems should occur discuss with your doctor straight away.Vitamin D has different sorts of interactions such as:“Anticonvulsants: Vitamin efficacy may be reduced.Barbiturates: Vitamin efficacy may be reduced.Calcitonin: Calcitonin effect reduced when treating hypercalcemia.Calcium (high doses): Risk of hypercalcemia increased. Cholestyramine: Vitamin absorption reduced.Colestipol: Vitamin absorption reduced.Cortisone: Vitamin absorption reduced.Digitalis preparations: Heartbeat irregularities increased.Diuretics, thiazide: Hypercalcemia risk increased.Hydration: Vitamin efficacy may be reduced.Mineral oil: Absorption of vitamin D increased.Phosphorus- containing medicines: Risk increased of too much phosphorus in blood.Primidone : Vitamin efficacy may be reduced.Vitamin-D derivatives: Increased potential for toxicity due to additive effects.Alcohol: Depletes storage of vitamin D in liver”(http://www.vitamins-nutrition.org//vitamins-guide/vitamin-d-cholecalciferol.html)These are very important interactions that Vitamin D can cause and should be taken seriously and looked into every few months.

Vitamin K is a group of 2-methilo-naphthoquinone derivatives. There are three notable forms of vitamin K, K1 (phytonadione, phylloquinone, phytonactone), K2 (menaquinones), which can be formed by natural bacteria in the intestines, and K3 (menadione), the most active synthetic form of the preparations K3-K7. Vitamin K plays an important role in blood clotting and bone metabolism. High serum concentrations of undercarboxylated osteocalcin and low serum concentrations of vitamin K are associated with lower bone mineral density and increased risk of hip fracture. Vitamin K supplements may improve bone mass in postmenopausal women. Vitamin K prevents calcification of arteries and other soft tissue. Calcification of organs and other soft tissue is an adverse consequence of aging. Vitamin K may play a role in the regulation of blood sugar. The pancreas, which makes insulin, has the second highest amount of vitamin K in the body. Vitamin K's primary function is to regulate normal blood clotting due to its role in the synthesis of prothrombin. Vitamin K supplements improve bone health and reduce risk of bone fractures, particularly in postmenopausal women who are at risk for osteoporosis. Three vitamin-K dependent proteins have been isolated in bone. Higher vitamin K levels correspond to greater bone density, while low levels of vitamin K have been found in those with osteoporosis. In bones, vitamin K mediates the gamma-carboxylation of glutamyl residues on several bone proteins, notably osteocalcin. Osteocalcin is a protein synthesized by osteoblasts (bone forming cells). The mineral-binding capacity of osteocalcin requires vitamin K-dependent gamma-carboxylation of three glutamic acid residues.
The recommended dietary allowance (RDA) for vitamin K is 80 mg per day for adult males and 65 mg per day for adult females, and 5 mg/day for the newborn infant. Rich sources of vitamin K include broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, kale, spinach and soybeans.
Vitamin K deficiency is very rare and occurs when there is an inability to absorb the vitamin from the intestinal tract. Vitamin K deficiency can also occur after prolonged treatment with oral antibiotics. Vitamin K deficiency is often the result of impaired absorption rather than not getting enough in the diet. Prolonged use of antibiotics can also cause a low level of this vitamin because they destroy some of the bacteria in the gut that help to produce vitamin K. Newborns are at risk for vitamin K deficiency. This is because their digestive tracts contain no vitamin K-producing bacteria. Vitamin K deficiency in adults is rare. When it occurs, it is found in people with diseases that prevent the absorption of fat. These diseases include cystic fibrosis, celiac disease, and cholestasis. Symptoms of vitamin K deficiency include easy bruisability, epistaxis, gastrointestinal bleeding, menorrhagia and hematuria.
There is no known toxicity associated with high doses of phylloquinone (vitamin K1), menaquinone (vitamin K2), or menadione (vitamin K3) and its derivatives. High intake of vitamin K is not recommended for individuals taking anticoagulant medications such as Warfarin (coumadin).

The Wonder of Vitamin C
Vitamin C is perhaps one of the most well-known vitamins in our diets. When you visit the super market you will find many products with "a full serving of vitamin C". People use Vitamin C tablets.
Vitamin C is required for a healthy immune system, and can help prevent cancer, colds, cataracts, heart disease and aid in the healing of wounds. Vitamin C is also required in the synthesis of collagen in connective tissues.
The ascorbic acid in Vitamin C is needed for healthy cell development, healthy gum tissues and is excellent for clearing up infection and preventing cholesterol problems.
So Vitamin C is a useful and much need nutrient. What happens if the body is Vitamin C deficient?
When devoid of Vitamin C, the gums will bleed, the body is weaker and bruises more easily. You can develop scurvy, the scourge of malnourished sailors. However Scurvy is easily treated with does of Vitamin C.
The best dosages tend to be 60 mg per day or 200-300 mg in recent studies. While for pregnant and nursing women it is 75-95 mg.
You can however overdose on this vitamin. The symptoms include gastrointestinal complaints, such a diarrhea.
Now, if you do not wish to get your vitamin C, in pill form, there are many foods which contain it. Most if not all fruit contain Vitamin C while leafy green vegetables (such as Spinach) contain it as well. When taking the vitamin in pill form do not mix it with aspirin as it could cause stomach pain. Antidepressants and birth control pills can also react with it. It is best to get your vitamin see in the form of fruit or vegetable and snacks fortified with vitamin c (think of those delicious gummy snacks at the grocery store, they're loaded with a full daily value!)

ORANGE LIME
¼ to ½ lime
1 orange
Peel the orange but leave the white membrane to get the bioflavanoids. You can juice the peel of the lime. You can also juice the seeds.
Traditionally Used For:
Anemia Blood
Constipation Gout
Indigestion Liver
Lungs Scurvy
Skin Problems Strengthening Blood Vessels
Weight Loss
A Good Source Of:
Calcium Chlorine Copper
Fluorine Iron Manganese
Magnesium Phosphorus Potassium
Silicon Zinc Vitamins B-1, 2, & 6

Freshness Test:
Look for thick skins with good color and good weight.
Important:
Citrus fruits, when taken in excess, are known to leech calcium from the body. All citrus fruits add citric acid to the body and so it's a good idea to get some exercise after having a citrus fruit drink.
You should always remove the rind of grapefruits, oranges and tangerines. Remove the rind, but leave the white membrane as the white membrane contains bioflavanoids. The bioflavanoids help the body absorb and use Vitamin C.
The rind of oranges, grapefruits and tangerines must be removed as the rind is difficult for the human body to digest. The rind can subsequently cause rectal problems.
General:
Drink immediately after juicing to ensure you get all of the Vitamin C.

General:
Some people peel the skin and some don't. If you peel the skin, make sure you leave some of the white membrane on the fruit. The white membrane contains the bioflavanoids. The bioflavanoids help the body absorb and use Vitamin C.
I personally don't peel the skin and I like to combine ¼ to ½ lime, depending on the size, with a few apples.
Drink immediately after juicing to ensure you get all of the Vitamin C.

Nutrients and health implications:
Although the meat and bean group is key to having a healthy diet, when saturated fat is found in foods such as meat, poultry, fish, eggs, nuts, and seed there may be a health implication involved. Another common occurrence while eating meats and beans is that people pick their favorites and stick with them. What i mean by this is people only eat say, chicken and beef and dont get their share of fish and nuts. One vitamin that is found in meats and beans is vitamin B. This vitamin helps with red blood cells, plays a big role in our nervous system, and helps build tissues. When you eat foods that have saturated fat, it is extremely bad for you because i causes your cholesterol level to increase.
Tips For making Wise Choices:
When shopping for your meats and beans you should be aware of what you are buying. For example, when buying beef and chicken you should get the healthiest meat, that is raised well and is the "leanest" choice. When buying chicken you should shoot for the chicken without the skin on it for this is one of the fattiest parts of the chicken. Also, when buying beef, you should get the leanest cuts like, round steaks and roasts. Another technique to eat as healthy as you can is to remove all the visible fat from the outside prior to cooking. Last but not least you should broil, grill, and bake your food instead of frying it to eliminate unnecessary fat.
Vegetarian Choices:
Although being a vegetarian can easily reduce the amount of protein you can choose from, it is still very possible to be a vegetarian and still get enough protein. Some meats and beans that you can still eat are, eggs, beans, nut butters, peas, and soy products. One technique that you can use to make sure your body is getting plenty of protein and other key vitamins and minerals is you should base your meals around what you feel your body is lacking. For example if you need protein one night, you should eat some eggs, or peas. If you need some calcium you can drink and soy based shake or just plain drink to get your appropriate amount of calcium.
