I've never actually researched this, but every time I eat liver, I feel terriffic the next day. I wonder if there is any scientific reason.
Okay, I know some of you are turning green at the very thought of liver. Chances are you never had it prepared properly, and for half of you, just the knowledge that it's liver is enough to convince you that you don't like it. But I swear, if you can aquire a taste for it...mmmmm. There's nothing like breaded liver fried up with onions and butter and plain buttered toast.
You know how your body sometimes gets run down and you're just tired and sickly and stuff? I'm tellin' ya, eat a healthy dose of liver and you'll feel like a million bucks!

Self-Diagnosis: The small white spots on my fingernails indicate a zinc deficiency. One symptom of such a deficiency is Anemia, or low iron.
Oh, I've found the answer!!! Liver is very high in Iron. The symptoms of iron deficiency are:
- Lack of energy, feeling tired and weakness. - Pale skin on the lining of the eyes, the inner mouth, gums and the nails. - Rapid and forceful heart beat. - Low blood pressure with position change, from sitting to standing up. - Finger nails become thin, brittle and white. They may grow abnormally and get a spoon-shaped appearance. - Severe menstrual pain and bleeding. - Tongue may become sore, smooth, shiny and reddened. - Decreased appetite especially in children. - Headache - frontal- - Shortness of breath during exercise. (even during a simple exercise like walking) - Brittle hair. - Reduction in immunity and increased vulnerability to infection. - A strong desire to eat nonfoods such as ice, paint or dirt. A condition called pica. - Disturbed sleep. - Abdominal pain.
This would explain my crazy complusion to eat paint chips!!!! YAY!! I prescribe a better diet. Paint chips and pencil lead are definately OFF the menu from now on! [LINE] It was a tie between 1, 7 and 8. So I put them all here. *sigh*, why am I so complicated?
