A member asked:
What is the signaling mechanism for epo release?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tissue hypoxia: Lack of adequate oxygenation of tissues is the usual signal for EPO release. 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.
