hi there
due to extensive radiation i had previously, i am left with a low body weight.
i am a 47yr female who is 5' '7" & my average weight is 112. lbs. Due to radiation to the head, my eating habits have changed significantly, cant eat what i use to. i walk on the treadmill nightly to release dailly stress, walking 4-6 miles on the average. In March 09, I have some blood test run by my doc., the CBC & CMP & Vit blood test indicate all is mostly normal, except for the vit d, in which i had to take mega doses of vit d to bring it up (vitd d was 18.4, PTH was 131) all ok now. Should I be taking oher daily supplements beides the usual daily vit pill & calcium that i take now.
I feel OK, but people tell me i look unhealthy and I should put some weight on.
I get various suggestions from runners who know me, that I should be adding more protein to my diet since I am on the treadmill walking so much.
I guess the questions is..is taking a daily vitamin adequate enough??
thnx for any input
