RISK OF BLOOD CLOTS.

FOODS THAT CAN INCREASE THE RISK OF BLOOD CLOTS.

If you want to stay away from risky blood clots, I recommend limiting intake of vitamin K nutrient. It is an important vitamin in building bones and promoting wound healing through clots formation. But excessive amounts can increase thrombosis risk. Therefore, it is best to limit food sources containing vitamin K, such as;

  • Mustard greens
  • Sprouts
  • Chad
  • Spinach
  • Brusels
  • Kale

The risk is even worse for people taking blood thinners or anticoagulants. They should also watch out on alcohol, juice, and green tea consumption as these drinks influence blood thinners. If you have any other related questions, please feel free to rich out.
