A vitamin is a substance that makes you ill if you don't eat it. — © Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
A vitamin is a substance that makes you ill if you don't eat it.
A substance that makes you ill if you don't eat it.
[A vitamin is] a substance you get sick from if you don't eat it.
I am quite healthy and very careful about my diet. I take a vitamin B complex, a vitamin C supplement, iron and hemp oil - which is a good source of omega 3 - every day. I don't eat meat, fish or eggs, or anything that's too starchy.
Low levels of vitamin D in the population as a whole suggest that most people need to take a vitamin D supplement. This may be especially true for seniors, as the ability to synthesize vitamin D in the skin declines with age.
Yes, I'm obsessed with health, which has been an interesting journey. I went down the raw-food diet route, but got ill. It was really hard, especially in Britain in winter, trying to survive on raw carrots. I became so ill and anemic, so I stopped that and became a vitamin junkie. I just ate lots of vegetables, exercised and breathed.
I've tried my hardest to bribe my chef, but my team have been clever and hired someone who not only is not bribeable but who chases me round the house and makes sure I eat what he's cooked, and he lays out my vitamin pills and supplements in front of me so I can't 'forget' to take them.
This ain't bad-guy talk, cos I'm not a bad guy. But people don't realise what fear can do. I've had situations where I've been so scared, where I can't sleep, I can't eat, and it's gone on for weeks and it's ruining my life. It makes you sick, it makes you mentally ill.
'Licensed to Ill' was like a cold, and we took so much vitamin C that we'd never get that cold again.
I am not a big vitamin-taker. I have vitamin C during the winter, but eating lots of fruit and veg does the trick.
I'm all about the supplements. I take fish oil every single day, as well as vitamin D, magnesium, B complex, vitamin C.
I take a multivitamin, vitamin D, and omega-3 oils every day, and if I'm stressed or run- down, I bulk up on vitamin C and zinc.
I like McDonald's burgers and Happy Meals. And I've got a thing for kebabs, too. But I don't eat too much of that stuff or it makes me feel a bit ill.
Fear of carbs, of gluten, of everything - we've distanced ourselves from the beauty of food, the art of it. It makes me sad when people say, 'Oh, I don't eat gluten. I don't eat cheese. I don't eat this. So I eat cardboard.'
If I have to do a speech, if there's no way I can get out of it, or if it's something I really should do, I won't sleep the night before. I'll feel ill the entire day leading up to it. I won't be able to eat if it's after a dinner, which makes things even worse.
The only requirement of a symbol is that it have substance underneath: The first thing to do is to try to establish the substance. The style comes after the substance. Only then can the style help the substance, and vice versa.
I've always taken good care of my health, and ensured that I took my Vitamin C, B and E tablets regularly. I also eat healthy to keep my immune system strong.
