Is it bad to have high levels of nitrogen levels in float bed lettuce?
356936
All organisms need nitrogen to make proteins and nucleic acids.  I would think that a high nitrogen level would be a sign of a healthy plant or a plant that is high in protein. Nitrogen is not harmful unless it is in a toxic form like ammonia or ammonium.

Good question. Well your liver and kidneys can put up with a lot, but some things they just cant process. Like for instance too much carrots can turn you yellow, and thiamine acid can turn you reddish, but it would take a lot to do so. Also each person is different so consult your doctor. Bit from my point of view eating healthy is OK, just REALLY mo niter those supplements because accidents happen, and it could really hurt you. Your best bet is just to go talk to a doctor or nutritionist

Regardless of what you think of glycoscience, I'm afraid that the concept of a healthy diet is a fallacy. Even people with a perfect diet...and how many people can honestly say that?...will still have difficulty attaining the ideal level of nutrients for vibrant health.\n\nWhy?...3 reasons:\n\n1. Because we ship food all over the country, farmers must "green harvest." That means they pick fruits/vegetables before they have achieved their ideal level of ripeness.\n2. Even if you buy your produce from local farmers' markets, there is a very small window where the produce has the optimal level of nutrients. You pick too soon, the nutrients haven't developd yet. You wait too long...to pick...or eat...the produce, the nutrient levels start to degrade.\n3. Our soils are depleted of nutrients from over-farming and not rotating crops to allow nutrient levels to come back up.\n\nSo, you want to eat as good a diet as possible, so you are not adding unnecessary processed foods, additives, pesticides, etc., to your body to deal with. BUT supplementation (preferably green sourced supplements) is still necessary to achieve the OPTIMAL level of nutrients that our diets just can't provide anymore.

Allergic reaction- most likely. B/c it is not typical for lettuce... only cases i heard of are from acidic foods (lemon,lime, grapefruit, oranges) or spicy food. Maybe its the dressing you put on the salad.

Very Unhealthy.  A good diet is a well balance diet, which means a good variety.  Eating samething no matter how healthy the food is runs the risk of missing certain nutrients.  The new standard for eating includes eating a variety of fruits and vegetable of varying colors.  The second suggestion is better, but still isn't healthy.  Synthetic foods often contains undesirable chemicals and probably does not have all the micronutrients the body craves.  If you eat salads, remember that lettuce has very little vitamins.  Their only value is in fiber.

This is common in vegetarians... are you?  It could result in megaloblastic or pernicious anemia & neurological degeneration of neurons.  You probably have fewer than normal red blood cells, thus a reduced oxygen-carrying capacity.  You need to be taking supplements.

High nitrate levels can be caused by runoff from human and animal waste, manure and fertilizers from farms, leaking underground tanks, landfills, unsafe disposal of industrial waste and organic waste.

If you eat too much of these, yes, to be sure.\n\nHowever, if you eat them in moderation, and mix in vegetables, and some exercise, you should be just fine.

Invite a bunch of kids into your hottub, they should raise the PH level! jk\n\n"sodium bicarbonate or baking soda raises the kH and pH as mentioned by Goldy. As mentioned, at low pH, the good bugs do not thrive well and the filtration suffers. A pH level between 7.0 to 8.0 would be good. pH should not be raised suddenly to prevent pH shock. Therefore baking soda should be added little by little over a few days. A dosage of 25-50g per 1000L per day until the desired pH is achieved should be OK. As it is easily soluble in water, dissolve it in a pail of water and distribute evenly over the pond. It may need to be replenished after sometime depending on the stocking level as it is being used up by the filter. A more permanent solution of maintaining alkaline pH is to use shells (oyster, cockle) as pH buffers. They act by releasing carbonates slowly. \nIf the ammonia level in the pond is very low, there shouldn't be much danger in raising the pH slightly. As for the location of the UV, I would prefer to place it at the last stage of filtration, that is after the biomedia, and in a separate chamber."

plants use N, K and P to live. the more phosphorus(phosphate) in the water the more plants it can support. the more plants the less oxygen for fish.\nso high phosphate levels can cause low oxygen levels.

"High levels of Mn (189 and 465 ppm), Cu (30.5 and 21.8 ppm), Zn (151.9 and 75.1 ppm), and NO3 (4,600 and 7,200ppm) were found in the leaves of E. hirta and P. amarus respectively. No traces of cyanide and nitrite were found in the leaves of these two plants. Varying proportions of Fe (2,225 and 1,563ppm), Mg (5,500 and 5,800ppm), K (33,000 and 32,000ppm), Ca (21,000 and 26,500ppm), and Na (558.1 and 125 ppm) were found in the leaves of E. hirta and P. amarus respectively. The levels of chemicals are high enough to constitute a source of toxicosis to animals consuming them and their use for medicinal purpose should also be a source for concern most especially if the fresh leave decoctions are used."

Ate something wrong? Heck no, its plant pigment & fiber in your diet. It happens when you are eating large amount of greenish plants.\n\nIts harmless. I occasionally have it since I'm a vegan.

lettuce, glucoses freezing temperature is higher then that of water, and lettuce has the most water.

they use ions rather than molecules of nitrogen gas, so it has to be dissolved in water. N2 gas is too stable for the plant to break up into useful products.  Even if the plant was able to do this, it would use up so much energy, it wouldn't be efficient.\n\nForms of Nitrogen plants are able to use include:\nNO2-\nNO3-\nNH4+ (so ammonia fertilisers are effective)\n\n\nBut you can get nitrogen-fixing bacteria on some legumes which can convert the nitrogen into usable products for the plant.

WHAT MAKES POOP FLOAT? \n\nSurprisingly, not what you might think. \n\nConventional medical wisdom attributes Floaters to the amount of fat in your poop. While this IS true for certain diseases (cystic fibrosis, celiac disease, biliary atresia, abetalipoprotenimia and a few other weird sounding illnesses), it is NOT true for your run-of-the-mill healthy person. \n\nVegetarians would have you believe that the "perfect" stool (that is, one uncontaminated by the consumption of animal parts) is the Floater. Many vegetarians have spent their entire lives in the quest to produce perfection -- when in fact no particular diet can reliably produce Floaters. The vast majority of us bring forth Sinkers. \n\nSinkers really need a good P.R. person -- they have gotten a bad rap over the ages. Sure, Floaters are cute and all, but a good solid Sinker will never let you down. \n\n\nBACK TO WHAT MAKES POOP FLOAT... \n\nActually, it is gas that does it. Increased levels of air and gas in the poop make it less dense, and cause it to float. Simple as that. Dietary changes can lead to an increase in the amount of gas produced by the bacteria that live in the gut, which is probably what the vegetarians are basing their whole "perfect stool" theory on. I don't know -- the whole time I was vegan I never consistently produced Floaters. \n\nThen, after a couple of years, I grew disenchanted and yearned for a hamburger. And that was the end of Poonurse the Vegetarian. \n\n\nWHY DOES IT MATTER? \n\nWell, I'm a little unclear on that. It must matter greatly to a lot of people, or else they wouldn't take so much time to write to me about it. I guess it could matter if you are worried that you are sick or something. \n\nIf you have diarrheal-esque Floaters for more than two weeks, you may have a malabsorption problem -- a dysfunction of the GI tract that affects the body's ability to digest and absorb fat. Acute gastrointestinal infections can also result in increased gas content in the intestines, due to rapid movement of stool through the GI tract. \n\n\nSO WHAT? \n\nSo I am forced to assume that Floaters are NOT the most desirable of all stools. Sinkers are by far more common. Don't spend your life chowing down on tofu burgers just because you think you are being cheated out of a Floater. Neither tofu burgers nor Floaters are worth the trouble. Sinkers are our destiny.

Foods high in fiber (like veggies) produce more gas as your body processes them. Plants also contain fewer (and different) amino acids than animals (that is, less protein), so the gaseous waste produced by digestion has less nitrogen and fewer stinky nitrogenous compounds.
