A member asked:
Period due today and seems like it started. however, my blood has a metallic smell to it. why is this?

Olfactory perception: It probably has to do more with your altered sense of smell than anything wrong with your blood. Do not worry about it. If the odor persists you should see a gynecologist to ascertain if it is due to alteration in vaginal flora. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/.
