This is my first blog. The reason I have named it Wine and Why is: I manage a wine store and I often wonder about things, I want to know why. I have many great wine suggestions, however, today I am more concerned with the why of things.
Just yesterday, I was hanging out with my best friend and we were talking about why doctors often don't tell you things like:
1. if you need iron supplements, your body absorbs the iron better if you take it with vitamin C.
2. your body absorbs calcium better when taken with magnesium
3. when you do your breast exam you have to check your armpits and your breasts right up to your shoulders.
Seriously, I have been on iron supplements since I was 6 years old and it wasn't until I was pregnant with my first child at 34 that I was told about the vitamin C thing.
Another one that I don't know the answer to is the anti-depressant/melatonin connection. The word is that if you take anti-depressants you can't take melatonin. However, all anti-depressants are different and it can't possibly be a blanket statement. Now, everyone with depression knows that it is difficult to sleep at night, so, why can't someone define which anti-depressants are out of bounds for melatonin.
Melatonin is a wonderful thing,....more on that in another blog.
Now about wine...I manage a BC VQA wine store. This is my passion. Imagine having a job for close to 8 years and loving going to work every day. I hope that everyone who reads this blog has the good fortune of having a job they love at least once in their life. And I love to cook.......stay tuned
