Does alcohol effect blood iron

Answer 1

No. However, it does improve blood profile in many other ways that contribute to good cardiovascular health. For example, when consumed in moderation, it

*improves blood lipid profile

◦ It increases HDL ("good") cholesterol

◦ It decreases LDL ("bad") cholesterol

◦ It improves cholesterol (both HDL and LDL) particle size

*decreases thrombosis (blood clotting)

◦ It reduces platelet aggregation

◦ It reduces fibrinogen (a blood clotter)

◦ It increases fibrinolysis (the process by which clots dissolve)

*and acts in additional ways

◦ It reduces coronary artery spasm in response to stress

◦ It increases coronary blood flow

◦ It reduces blood pressure

◦ It reduces blood insulin level

◦ It increases estrogen levels
