\"\"<\/a>Its heart month, yes\u00a0LOVE month but also in the world of health all about taking care of your heart.\u00a0 So in this spirit I write you today.<\/p>\n

There are many ways to take care of your heart with exercise and diet, taking in nutrients that lower your cholesterol and keep your blood pressure on the right level.\u00a0But one important way to ensure our hearts are kept in good shape is by providing an optimal blood supply that\u00a0is rich in nutrients.\u00a0 Signs of our blood needing support are often\u00a0demonstrated when we visit our doctors and they tell us that\u00a0we are anemic.<\/p>\n

Beyond taking the extra\u00a0dosages of iron that are usually recommended, we can take steps on our own to\u00a0get our hemoglobin levels balanced.\u00a0 I have become an avid watcher of a TV channel called Veria<\/a>.\u00a0 A particularly good show is one entitled “What a Relief” by Amanda Mcquade. \u00a0Here are a few recommendations for building blood that I\u00a0took from her show and I found\u00a0I can easily incorporate into\u00a0my daily diet.<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Incorporate more vegetables, less red meat-Kale, parsley, carrots and celery are always winners for good health, but particularly helpful when it comes to iron.<\/p>\n

2. Chlorella- chlorophyll comes in liquid and tablets and can be taken throughout the day and is a wonderful energy booster as it is full of nutrients that are very close to that found in blood.<\/p>\n

3. Stinging nettle- can be taken in tea form\u00a0contains iron and vitamin C<\/div>\n
4. Molasses- 2 teaspoons in hot water. This is nice to take in the morning and would be a nice companion to a cup of tea.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
5. Vitamin C- Ms Mcquade also suggested that when take iron, take 150 milligrams of vitamin C, because\u00a0its needed to absorb the iron.\u00a0 Check your supplements as you may already be taking this recommended dosage.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Consider taking these blood building tips\u00a0for\u00a0review along with you\u00a0when reviewing\u00a0your health with your physician.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0In addition to\u00a0attending to your heart physically, we can also take time to nourish ourselves with loved ones.<\/div>\n

I have been spending the past few months supporting my heart with the much needed love from family and friends.\u00a0Loved ones renew ones spirit and our spirits are what keep us ticking.\u00a0 Yes, it is the physical heart that pumps the blood and keeps things in motion, but without that much needed TLC (tender, loving, care) we would be without the essence to what supports our heart- life purpose.<\/p>\n

So grab some kale, a few apricots, mixed in with a tall smoothie and treat yourself to a great blood builder, but don’t forget to make enough for two to share with someone you love.<\/p>\n

In health,<\/p>\n
