Hi, I am vegetarian- have been for 20 years. I am constantly tired and can easily fall asleep anywhere, any time. Do you think this has to do with my diet? Do you have any good tips for a vegetarian diet? thank you!!

It is possible this may be related to your diet; however, there can be many other reasons for feeling tired. If you have been experiencing this constant lack of energy for a significant amount of time, I encourage you to consult with your doctor to see what the underlying cause may be.

I am a healthy 76-year old woman. I eat well, and exercise a lot. I hydrate. I get leg cramps at night that are very painful. I am thinking maybe I should be taking calcium-magnesium-potassium. What amount would you recommend?

I'm going to try eating when I'm hungry and stopping when I'm no longer hungry. My stomach usually stops growling after ~5 bites, so I'll be putting a lot of food in tupperware. How can I have decent warm meals if I have to microwave them so much?

Your meals are still good enough to eat within a few days. Most cooked leftovers can last up to 4 days.1,2 You can also freeze your leftovers up for several months -  depending on the type of food. Check out this chart for Storage Times for the Refrigerator and Freezer to keep your food from spoiling or becoming dangerous to eat.
