A daily multivitamin may give your well－being an extra benefit, but if you've ever swallowed one and felt sick right after, you know it's hardly a pleasant experience.
You're taking vitamins on an empty stomach.
Vitamins that are more acid in nature, like vitamin C, may cause nausea(恶心)if they're consumed on an empty stomach. Vitamins A, D, E and K, unlike some others, may be better absorbed when not taken with food.
Vitamins are like medicines in that they can act on each other and other medicines you're taking. Some research suggests that multivitamins could cause side effects when taken at the same time with high estrogen(雌激素)levels.
There's a lot of iron in your pill.
Multivitamins that contain a lot of iron or iron supplements themselves can cause nausea. This is especially true if you're taking them outside of a meal. Iron is interesting in that it's best absorbed on an empty stomach, but it's hardest to take on an empty stomach because of the nausea. It might decrease the absorption a little bit but it's better than nothing.
Allergic reaction side effects.
Since multivitamins contain so many vitamins and minerals, allergic reactions are certainly possible .Mild allergic reactions can include itchiness(痒) and a few hives(荨麻疹). Should you experience more advanced signs of an allergic reaction, such as trouble breathing, chest pain, widespread hives or a swollen facial region, visit the closest emergency room immediately.
A. You're taking vitamins with other medicines.
B. Below are a few reasons why multivitamins may be making you ill.
C. It's important to discuss with an expert the timing of these vitamins.
D. These stomach issues can be extremely disturbing.
E. It's better to take it with food than trying taking it on an empty stomach.
F. If you experience these side effects, stop use and contact your doctor.
G. Please review the combinations to make sure there are no harmful interactions.

A. Don't accuse your employer. B. Staying calm will only help your case. C. Take advantage of how much men colleagues earn. D. It's never a good idea to go into a salary negotiation blindly. E. You are often paid less salary than your workmates in similar positions. F. But women face unique challenges when it comes to requesting more money. G. They allow you to search for compensation info based on industry and geographic region. |
Asking for a raise can be a discouraging prospect for any employee. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} If you're a female employee seeking a raise, it matters to approach that conversation strategically. Here are a few tips for pulling it off successfully.
Do your research.
{#blank#}2{#/blank#} So if you're making a case for a pay increase, you'll need to gather some data on what others in similar positions are earning. To that end, do some research on sites like Salary. com. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} Remember to collect the average earnings for all workers in your position and make your case for why you deserve to be paid similarly.
Don't get emotional.
Women are often accused of getting emotional on the job. In fact, it's that so-called sensitive nature that causes some people to claim they're uncomfortable working with and promoting female employees. That's why it's extremely important to keep you cool during a salary negotiation. Be specific and present hard evidence of your value to the company. Try to focus on your positive contributions, rather than the negative feelings. And although the discussion might get heated, be sure not to yell or, worse yet, cry while it's going down. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}
{#blank#}5{#/blank#}
Given many news stories about how men out-earn women, you may tend to draw on some of that data as a reason for getting a raise. But be very careful about using that argument, because unless you have definitive proof that your male colleagues - with the same exact titles, experience, and responsibilities—are making more money than you, you're better off avoiding that angle.

The International Space Station proves his prediction that we would not simply visit space but seek to stay there. |
The man who could see the future
The ability to predict the future is a rare talent. American author Isaac Asimov (1920-1992), one of the great science fiction writers of his age, had such a talent. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} Now that we're here, let's see what he got right.
{#blank#}2{#/blank#} Asimov thought computers would cause a revolution comparable to the industrial revolution of the 19th century. Specifically, he said that "mobile computerized objects" would be an important part of everyday life. Here, he clearly predicted our world of smartphones, tables and other devices. He also had a great deal to say about space exploration. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}
How did Asimov develop his special sense of future developments? {#blank#}4{#/blank#} He read the newspapers and magazines sold in his parents' candy store. His scientific interest gained sharper focus at Columbia University in New York. Asimov went to study chemistry, but became bored with pure laboratory science. Instead, he thought hard about the social implications (作用) of science. He wanted to communicate his ideas to the public.
{#blank#}5{#/blank#} Asimov had his finger on the pulse (脉搏) of both scientific and social change. He had a clear vision of what was coming around the corner for humanity in his works like the Galactic Empire series (《银河帝国系列》). "His predictions are absolutely fascinating," Calum Chase, an English writer, told BBC News. "He was a genius."
