hello fit people
i went to give blood yesterday and was told my Hb was too low (125g/l). never happened before in 10 years off and on of donating.
I've been riding much more this year, and wondered if that was to do with it. I did 200k at the weekend and then commuted to work in the week; probably the most i've ridden in 7 days since my teens.
any advice on what i should eat / drink / other stuff to do? I sweat a heluva lot and i've read that can reduce your iron levels.
i had a full medical last year inc bloods and organ function tests; all was ok at that point
thanks for any advice.
