No man ever loved by William Shakespeare
Let me not to the marriage of true minds Admit impediments, love is not love Which alters when it alteration finds Or bends with the remover to remove. O no! It is an ever-fixed mark, That looks on tempest and is never shaken; It is the star to every wand’ring bark, Whose worth’s unknown, althoughContinue reading “No man ever loved by William Shakespeare”

Low Testosterone Concentrations in Men Contribute to the Gender Gap in Cardiovascular Morbidity and Mortality

And men with low total testosterone (TT) concentrations were identified as high-risk individuals with regard to 10-year cardiovascular disease (CVD) and mortality risk. Across the industrialized world, men experience an earlier onset of (CVD) and a life expectancy 5 to 10 years shorterContinue reading “Low Testosterone Concentrations in Men Contribute to the Gender Gap in Cardiovascular Morbidity and Mortality”
Inflammatory biomarkers as risk factors for future atrial fibrillation among men
This population-based cohort study showed that high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) was independently associated with atrial fibrillation (AF) in men, but apparently not in women, and that patients with WBCs in the upper quartile had increased risk of AF. Inflammatory biomarkers are reported as risk factors for atrial fibrillation (AF). The study investigated the associations betweenContinue reading “Inflammatory biomarkers as risk factors for future atrial fibrillation among men”
Vitamin D reduces risk of uterine fibroids
The consistency of findings for questionnaire and biomarker data, the similar patterns seen in blacks and whites, and the biological plausibility provide evidence that sufficient vitamin D is associated with a reduced risk of uterine fibroids. Uterine leiomyomata (also known as fibroids) are benign tumors of uterine smooth muscle that are characterized by overproduction ofContinue reading “Vitamin D reduces risk of uterine fibroids”

Healthy foods and exercise thin blood naturally, preventing stroke and cancer
There are a number of foods and supplements that are known to thin the blood. These include foods with high amounts of aspirin-like substances called salicylates, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin E supplements, and foods with natural antibiotic properties.
Strawberries contain a very high amount of naturally occurring salicylates.
While many Americans have problems with blood clots, it is important to note that blood thinning foods are not desirable for everyone in the population. I have been an easy bleeder all of my life, so I have compiled this list so that I know which foods to limit, in order to keep my blood from being too thin.
People taking prescription anti-coagulant drugs also need to be careful not to consume too many foods with natural blood thinning compounds in addition to their regular medication. One of my relatives is on a prescription anticoagulant drug for blood clots and has had eye hemorrhages from ingesting too many blood thinning foods in conjunction with his prescription medication.
