おはようございます。KANOです。今回はこちらの記事から。
摂取しても無駄になりがちなビタミンの種類について。
若い頃は適当にマルチビタミン選ぶ→効果が分からなくてしばらく飲んでなかったけど、40過ぎてからはちゃんと自分に必要な栄養素を補うと効果が分かるので真面目に飲んでます。
何でもそうだけど、自分に合ってればプチプラだろうが最高だし、合ってなきゃどんな名品も外れよね。
That depends

こういう表現をほんと増やしたい。というかTOEICのpart2選択肢でありそうだなw
deficiency
意味 不足, 欠乏, 欠如 (shortage); 不足分, 不足量 [額]
Iron is a vitamin that many people take, but it might not have the health benefits you think. “Many people decide to take vitamin supplements thinking, “more is better.” The truth is taking iron supplements without a confirmed deficiency from your doctor can be dangerous. Too much iron can cause irregular heartbeats, excessive buildup in the liver, and in rare cases, can be cancerous! Good sources of iron can already be found in your diet such as beans, dark chocolate, spinach, beef and chicken.”

貧血気味だった若い頃よく摂取してたなー今思えばアルコール飲み過ぎで具合悪かっただけだった気もするw
poultry
意味 [単数扱い]家禽の肉.
Dr. Smith says, “Another B-complex vitamin that is present in many foods – fruits, vegetables, whole grains, poultry and fish – that most of us get enough in our diets. Research shows that taking B6 supplements over a long period of time can actually cause serious health problems and high levels of B6 have been shown to cause abnormal nerve sensations/changes.”

「meat」と書かないのは人工肉・植物肉と分けたいから…かな。
abundant
意味 [be ～ in [with] A]〈場所が〉A〈物など〉が豊富で, あり余って
For anyone who wants to take vitamin E. Dr. Smith says, “Not many people are deficient in vitamin E, a fat-soluble vitamin that protects cells from damage and provides support for your immune system. Vitamin E is abundant in foods like avocado, almonds and spinach, making supplements unnecessary for most. Healthy adults need about 15 milligrams of the nutrient each day and overdoing this supplement could cause other issues, like hemorrhaging.”

間食用に素焼きアーモンド食べるのでビタミンEは足りてるかな。
swallow
意味 〈飲食物など〉を飲み込む, （ごくっと） 飲む
Why swallow a pill when you can chew a flavored gummy vitamin instead, but Cox warns to think twice about that.

ひー、ツバメにこんな意味もあるのねー。連想で覚えられるかなぁ…。
inconsistent
意味 〈発言などが〉 一致しない, 相反する ; 一貫性のない
“When we consume anything, I’d recommend taking a look at the entire package. If someone is taking a specific vitamin for a medical reason, we want to make sure to get the vitamin. Sometimes gummy vitamins contain inconsistent levels. Moreover, there are often added sugars, sugar substitutes or artificial colorings or flavorings added and these are known to be unhealthful.”

肝油とか、あくまで子供用だもんなー。超甘いもん。タブレット状のビタミンCでさえ結構甘いもんな。飲み込む力が弱い人大人以外は普通のサプリメントの方が良いよね。
adequate
意味 ＜…のために/…するのに＞ 十分な, 満足な, 適当な ＜for/to do, for doing＞ （特定の目的や必要性に対して, 量や質がちょうど見合うことをいう）
How often are you told to take vitamin C when you have a cold? But that’s not actually good advice. Cox says, “Save your money on vitamin C for the common cold. There is no evidence that vitamin C supplementation reduces the risk or incidence of the common cold in the average person. As with other supplements, a healthy diet will get an adequate level of vitamin C. In fact, a medium orange daily will reach the recommended daily allowance (RDA) and will provide multiple added benefits to your health. Very high doses of vitamin C can lead to kidney stones, nausea and vomiting.”

風邪だから～ではなくて、日常サプリとしてビタミンCをそろそろ加える予定。ルテイン（目の疲れ改善）とマグ＆カル（睡眠安定）は減らせないからもう増やしたくなかったんだけど、最近ビタミンC入り美容液を使ったらてきめんに効いたので。
tout
意味 (主に英)〈物〉をしつこく売り込む.
“MCT oil has become popular with the popularity of the ketogenic diet,” Cox explains. “It is touted to increase the ketones and allow people to eat more vegetables and fruits while they are on the keto diet. The main risk of MCT oil comes from the fact that it is almost pure saturated fat. Saturated fat intake increases cholesterol levels and can cause fatty liver disease and coronary artery disease. It is not a healthful addition to the diet.”

明らかにマイナスの意味の単語ですなw
だからってわけじゃないけど最近MCTオイルはやめました。空腹防止のために飲んでたんだけど、在宅勤務で常に温かい飲み物を飲める→空腹感に結構耐えられるので。ただ、やめたら明らかにお腹が鳴る音が大きくなったのでw在宅勤務じゃなかったら渋々継続してたと思う。
