Question 1

can eating granola bars raise my estrogen levels?

Possibly: Granola bars are high in sugar. High sugar in your diet will reduce the amount of glucuronidase enzyme available to metabolize estrogen and raise your estrogen levels. Also high sugar increases Insulin and this could also increase your estrogen. There are other mechanisms as well.

Accepted Answer

Hello. : Hello. Dizziness is a very generalized symptom with many possible causes. Dizziness can be caused by dehydration. Try to ensure that you are drinking at least 8 8 ounce glasses of water per day. Dizziness can be a migraine headache symptom. Dizziness can occur with congestion that impacts the internal portion of the ear. Dizziness can occur if a person is really hypoglycemic.  If your dizziness presents in a manner that makes it feel like things are spinning around you, this could be vertigo. I hope your symptoms resolvequickly, if it remains problematic, seek medical care.

Question 7

ate granola bars w/ brown rice syrup daily (sometimes 2/day) including when pregnant. worried about arsenic (also ate cereal with rice daily).?

Accepted Answer

Likely not an issue: The reports linking rice consumption to arsenic has scared many folks, but the data is not completely clear. For the most part i would not worry especially for an adult, unless rice intake was much, much greater than described. To lessen exposure:rinse rice thoroughly before cooking, be sure water supply levels are low, cook/drain like pasta(^ parts to 1 water to rice), or use basmati or jasmine rice.

Question 8

ate granola bars with soy protein isolate every day until i was 14 weeks pregnant. worried about effects on baby.\?

Don't need to : This will not negatively effect the baby. Some cultures around the world have soy as a primary protein source for the population. They thrive and your baby can too.

Question 9

what kinds of foods should i be eatting? i work 12 hour shifts, and it is a physical job. most often i skip breakfast. lack of hunger and time contribute to this. for lunches i have been eatting fruit, yogert, or a granola bar with gatorade. for dinner i

Accepted Answer

Breakfast : Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, especially because it jumo starts your metabolism, and because you need energy to start your day. At minimum drink a protein or breakfast shake. Otherwise try to have fruit and a protein. Your lunch needs more protein (meat, boiled egg, turkey slices etc). In addition healthy snacks throughout the day (nuts, string cheese, protein bars, fruit, etc.) dinner can be light but try not to skip it. Fast food is neve a good idea, however if you have to order grilled chicken salad or sandwich, no fries or soda.
Lastly, i recommend you meet with a nutritionist to help design a healthy meal plan suited for your lifestyle.
Take good care and don't forget to drink plenty of water as well.
