Medical Hand Book : 27 OF THE BEST HEALTH “TIPSâ€
Badshah Mamun:
26. Iron strong health
Without iron, there would be no hemoglobin in the blood. Hemoglobin gives red corpuscles their color. And it is the hemoglobin that carries oxygen to all parts of the body.
If you lack iron, an insufficient supply of oxygen in your hemoglobin will produce sensations of fatigue, headaches and shortness of breath.
Men don’t have to worry too much: most men have a reserve of iron stored in their body that could last 3 years !
But women, because of the menstrual cycle, need twice as much iron as men.
And the amount is even higher for pregnant women. Vitamin C doubles the amount of iron the body absorbs: so it is a good idea to add a glass of tomato or orange or grapefruit juice to every meal.
On the other hand, tea reduces the amount of iron absorbed by
50% and coffee by about 39%.
27. Aging with a healthy body and mind
Did you know that sexual activity can keep you looking good as you age? Studies conducted in Sweden have shown that elderly people who have sexual partners have much more vitality and a better memory than those who do not.
So don’t let your golden years deprive you of the pleasures of sex !
Just forget about the obsession of having to “perform†- the final result is less important than the stimulation itself.
