Can someone recommend a vitamin to help?
Can someone recommend a vitamin to help?
A. Your skin reflects not only the effect of your environment but also what s going on inside of your body. Well balanced diet rich in vitamins and antioxidants is essential for radiant skin that look good and feels good.
VITAMINS
Vitamins C, E, A, K, and B complex can all help improve skin health.
Vitamin C can prevent the consequences of prolonged sun exposure. Vitamin E has been noted to reduce photo damage, wrinkles and improve skin texture. Both help to reduce damage caused by free radicals, a harmful side effects of sun exposure, smoking and such. Vitamin C can be found in citrus fruits and vegetables such as bell peppers, broccoli, cauliflower, and leafy greens. Vitamin E is in vegetable oils, nuts, seeds, olives, spinach, and asparagus; however most people take supplements as the amount they're getting from they diet is not suffcient.
Vitamin A plays major role in the maintenance and repair of skin tissue. Without it your skin can feel dry and flaky. Fruits and vegetables are loaded with vitamin A.
The single most important B vitamin is biotin, a nutrient that forms the basis of skin, nail, and hair cells. Without adequate amounts, you may end up with dermatitis (an itchy, scaly skin reaction) or sometimes even hair loss.
MINERALS
Selenium plays a major role in skin cancer prevention.
Copper tgether with vitamin C and the mineral zinc helps to develop elastin which supports skin structure.
Zinc is especially important if you have acne. In fact, sometimes acne itself is a symptom of a zinc deficiency.

What ill effects do moon bears experience from bile harvesting?
Q. I am already aware that they are confined in tiny cages, given surgical stomas, left with insufficient food and infected wounds, and so on.
I am NOT planning to harvest bear bile.
I am interested in what conditions and problems can result from nutritional deficiencies resulting SPECIFICALLY from not having the use of a digestive fluid (bile) because it is being harvested.

A. Without any bile, they would not be able to absorb dietary fats effectively. They would not be getting as many nutrients from the food that they were eating. This could also cause a problem with absorbing fat-soluble vitamins. The vitamins that are most affected are calcium, vitamin D, and vitamin K. So long-term, there would be bone health issues (which would probably occur even with adequate nutrition given the lack of weight-bearing exercise they can do in tiny cages). Lack of vitamin K can lead to clotting problems and bleeding.
Essentially, you have one half of the symptoms of cholestasis. In cholestasis, there is a blockage of the flow of bile into the intestines. The symptoms are from two separate causes: lack of bile in the intestines, and also the backup of bile in the body. In the bears, you only have the one problem, that of a lack of bile in the intestine. So if you consider the symptoms of cholestasis that are related to lack of bile in the intestine, it should be a fairly good picture of the effects.

What are the physical steps/symptoms of starvation in a place where you only have access to water?
Q. If a woman were marooned on a deserted island and her only resources were fresh water and sand, what would happen to her? What are the usual physical steps of starvation- fatigue, weight loss, loss of mental acuity, what else?
A. Individuals experiencing starvation lose substantial fat (a.k.a. adipose) and muscle mass as the body breaks down these tissues for energy. Catabolysis is the process (medical condition) of a body breaking down muscles and other tissues in order to keep vital systems�such as the nervous system and heart muscle (myocardium) �working. Catabolysis will not begin until there are no usable sources of energy coming into the body. Vitamin deficiency is also a common result of starvation, often resulting in anemia, beriberi, pellagra, and scurvy. These diseases collectively may cause diarrhea, skin rashes, edema, and heart failure. Individuals are often irritable and lethargic as a result.
Atrophy (wasting away) of the stomach weakens the perception of hunger, since the perception is controlled by the percentage of the stomach that is empty. Victims of starvation are often too weak to sense thirst, and therefore become dehydrated.
All movements become painful due to atrophy of the muscles, and due to dry, cracked skin caused by severe dehydration. With a weakened body, diseases are commonplace. Fungi, for example, often grows under the esophagus, making swallowing unbearably painful.
The energy defiency inherent in starvation causes fatigue and renders the victim more apathetic over time. Interaction with one's surroundings diminishes as the starving person becomes too weak to move or even eat.
