A member asked:
How do i know if my old blanket (from 20 years) contains asbestos?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It does not: Your blanket may seem old to you, but blankets from 20-years ago do not have asbestos. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. 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, if you have sex.
