Did you get an explanation of why no canola oil?
Thanks, Eileen
sregiani, Was the reason your doctor your doctor told you not to get your heart rate up related to your ET or some other condition/reason? This is in direct contrast to what my MPN specialist (hematologist) has said to me. I am very active (running, tennis, hiking) and my doctor has strongly encouraged me to do these activities. And in fact I feel so much better when I am able to get a 30-minute aerobic activity in - I have more energy throughout the day when I do (which I know feels contrary to what you might expect!).
My ET has been relatively stable for the past decade.
Thanks for all the info: garlic, I'll make sure to add some more in my food after cooking.
I had no idea about the canola oil. And yes, I'll ask the doctor about supplements.
Great news for coffee (I looooove coffee LOL) and wine (cheers to that).
