I am writing this post to gain insight into the ideal researcher's diet. Of course, what one consumes into their body is their business, but I would like to share my own insights into basic nutrition and perhaps see what other members think. Then, once done, I would like to hear from other members what foods I should give to my rabbits (for their vegetarian diet) and my rats (for their omnivorous one) when they are affected by testing materials, no specifics in mind.
I believe it goes without saying that fulfilling daily macros for the ideal researcher should be the first priority of this "uberresearcher", cultivating a healthy sleep pattern and drinking a sufficient amount of water are necessary as well. Such things may be achieved by eating a varied diet full of vegetables, fruits, lean proteins, and not avoiding dietary fat but minimizing empty calories. For those seeking to have the body of Adonis or Venus (perhaps not Hercules or Hera though) each must take food, drink, and exercise in their turn. What that means, for most, is to take approximately 2000 calories daily of a variety of micronutrient-heavy foods, increasing or decreasing the intake of the calories appropriate to the ideal weight of the researcher. For example, a tall, active man may need more calories daily than a short one, this number, however, is not the goal to pay attention to. A simple rule of thumb I believe is relatively infallible is to "taste the rainbow" that is to say eat as many different colored foods as you can. Obviously I don't mean food that is dyed or made colorful through adulterants. This would best be exemplified through a simple stir-fry. In said stir-fry you might have egg, rice, corn, peas, peppers, chicken, broccoli, onions, red or green cabbage, green onion, crimini mushrooms, all topped with some soy sauce, sesame seeds/oil, and whatever other sauces or flavors may appeal to the researcher. I would say a meal such as this exemplifies a perfectly balanced meal provided the proportions are appropriate. This is not a recipe thread so I won't go into details of how one might make one (though perhaps in a future post I might).
The ideal researcher takes this food realizing that his/her research is hard on the body and the best way to maintain health of the research is to maintain the health of the researcher. I won't go into the importance of sleep and hydration in this post however I will mention that these are of equal, if not greater importance than diet and should be adhered to as strictly if not moreso.
This brings me finally to the point of my thread. When the researcher gives their testing materials to the subject, the researcher should realize the effect that it has on the nutritional program of the subject and the researcher in question. Sometimes supplements are ideal for certain fertilizers or sprays, but one should be careful with these as many supplements are poorly regulated or poorly absorbed within the body of the subject when refined to their base components. Some threads I see recommend certain supplements given certain testing material and, while I agree with the hypotheses, I believe the treatment to be less effective than properly regulating the diet of the subjects of testing.
Bodies are meant to absorb nutrients based on the method each subject is required to absorb these things. An animal absorbs best through breaking down its food in stomach acids, when you remove the work required to break down a nutrient by refining it and purifying it, the body often does not know how to absorb such things, it REQUIRES the work to digest vitamin C from an orange in order to best absorb the vitamin C. When you simply give vitamin C to the stomach it absorbs very little of the vitamin and simply removes what it can't use from the body. I am no nutritionist however I believe this to be pretty intuitive and understandable to the layman. If the researcher desires omega-3's then eating fatty fish would be the ideal course, not taking a supplement.
I also wish to ask fellow researchers about their experiences testing on their varieties of subjects and testing materials, what sorts of additions would you recommend based on testing materials to the diets of my subjects? No specifics in mind as any information on any variety of test should be useful to any researcher. I know that for things like En-two-oh B-12 is highly recommended.
