What I am learning

We learn a lot of very valuable information in lecture and lab. Following are some of the more interesting/odd things I have learned in the past few days:

1) the term "cheesy smegma" was in one of my nursing textbooks
2) a fancy way of saying that someone is overweight: imbalanced nutrition related to excessive intake relative to metabolic needs
3) potassium imbalances can mess your body up in a major way, so for god's sake, STOP READING THIS AND GO EAT A BANANA! (seriously we should all be taking multivitamins...)

OK, but seriously, what if you just HATE BANANAS? THEN how do you get the potassium you need?

I can't eat them. I just can't.

Fleen,

Never fear! There are lots of other potassium-rich foods, like avocados, peaches, oranges, melon, plus lots of veggies, like broccoli, greens, spinach, tomatoes. And also nuts, beans, & potatoes. (Plus if you just take a multi-vitamin you will be all set!!)
