A member asked:
Will eating and taking a multivitamin before my blood test affect results on my cbc and metabolic panel?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: CBC will not be affected. If the metabolic panel contains tests for lipids, those would be affected. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, low fat milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex.
