\r\n \r\n It should be standard practice to suggest to women approaching and past menopause that they become regular blood donors.
\n
\nI think it is disgraceful that the NHSBLOOD DONOR SERVICE stubbornly refuse to explain to blood donors the science suggesting regular blood donation may help donors as well as those patients receiving the blood.
\n
\nAfter women stop regularly losing blood through monthly periods they start accumulating iron.
\nFerritin levels start to climb and this doesn\'t just affect heart disease risk, it also may have damaging effects on the brain.
\nMidlife Iron Status Is Inversely Associated with Subsequent Cognitive Performance Particularly in Perimenopausal Women.

\nIt makes me a bit grumpy when I read articles suggesting calcium channel blockers that don\'t point out the obvious fact that MAGNESIUM is a natural calcium channel blocker.
\nIf we told people to supplement with vitamin D and MAGNESIUM rather than vitamin d and calcium we would see a bit difference in CVD incidence. The vitamin D enables a higher rate of calcium absorption from food and water (so less is required from supplements) but adding magnesium not only improves the uptake and availability of vitamin d it\'s also required to enable vit d to switch from calcidiol (circulating form) to calcitriol (active hormonal form)\r\n

\nRecently divorced. New house and all those issues. Can be some anxiety.
\n
\nI have been taking garlic and tumeric along with my Iodoral, magnesium, selenium, D3 just recently.
\n
\nI am going to go off all grains (especially wine) and see if it will come down a bit.
\n
\nNever thought to donate blood, tho. Maybe time to have blood test and see where all that is at??\r\n
