What are the health benefits of cottage cheese and peanut butter at bedtime?
So I keep hearing about eating cottage cheese and peanut butter at bedtime. I know it has something to do with slow digestive proteins, but can someone please explain this to me in normal everyday person terms? I am by no means a nutritionist and this combo was suggested to me and I just need to know why it helps...particularly with fitness goals. thanks in advance!
Dark mark on tooth caused by diet, what foods could cause it?
Yesterday my dentist completely got rid of this little dark mark on my tooth with a scrape & polish. So it's GONE now, my tooth is back to normal.
The dentist said the mark was caused by something in my diet, but he didn't know what.
The mark appeared 5 weeks ago. In the 6 months before this mark appeared, this is what my diet used to be:
- Breakfast = low fat cottage cheese, or yogurt, or toast
- Lunch = usually none. Sometimes i had a chicken sandwhich.
- Dinner = 6x a week, i had chicken, prawns or fish, with new potatoes or rice, and some salad or veg.
Most days, i'd eat lots of cashew nuts after dinner.
Can you see anything in my diet, or about my eating habits, which caused the mark? It's NOT decay or acid erosion.
Thanks V much =D
Chronic Oral Thrush. Anyone?
I suffer from Chronic Oral Thrush. I don't have HIV as I've never had an exposure. I would assume I don't have Diabetes because I'm thin, eat a good diet, and I'm it overall good health. I also don't smoke.
I've went to the doctor for this twice. He told me it was thrush and told me it was because of my terrible anxiety.
I do suffer from horrible anxiety. Mostly health anxiety. It go so bad a few months ago I convinced myself I had so many types of cancer, etc. I eventually had a panic attack. During all this I developed the thrush, I noticed when I had my panic attack it got worse.
Now, my thrush doesn't look like the typical oral thrush I read about on the internet. It doesn't look like cottage cheese. It more flat creamy lesions that are white around the outside with maybe a little red on the inside. These never hurt, and it always stays contained inside my bottom lip and on the sides of my tongue. Symptoms are never that bad at all. Only get a 3-5 lesions at a time. Soon after I get them they begin to go away and my immune system fights them off completely in about a week. Then the cycle continues.
Now the reason why I'm concerned is because for the past month I've done pretty good with my anxiety. Just the normal stress stuff from work and stuff, but nothing major at all like before. I noticed I still get the sores sometimes. I don't think it's as bad as it was maybe. But I noticed I was worried about it last night and today I have another one.
So my question is. Does ANYONE out there have this too? I feel like I'm the only one. Do I just live with this the rest of my life? I'm scared it' going to take a huge tole on my immune system.
Any advice?
