you know the problem is you’re told  you have to do this blood thinner which means now that you have to avoid  all those leafy green vegetables that have so many health benefits and now what do you  do just avoid vegetables all together well this video is going to talk about what to do to solve  that problem if you were on warfarin also named coumadin because that medication competes for  vitamin k1 and so if you’re consuming vegetables high in vitamin k1 it’s going to make that drug  ineffective now the purpose of a blood thinner is to prevent a clot from forming and giving you  a heart attack or a stroke but just so you know blood thinners don’t actually make your blood  thinner nor do they break up clots what they do is they prevent the formation of new clots and  they can slow the growth of existing clots now if i personally had to take a blood thinner i would  opt for the ones that don’t have any drug food interactions and i listed four on the whiteboard  here so you can check it out and just check with your doctor to see if that would be an option  for you but if you’re told you can’t consume certain green vegetables that are high in  vitamin k1 i listed here a whole series of vegetables that you need to avoid  all the vegetables that are high in k1 and the ones that you can eat because they are  low in vitamin k1 let me go through them right now onions squash eggplant tomatoes mushrooms  are okay cucumbers artichokes beets bamboo shoots bell peppers all colors now the bell  peppers like yellow has no vitamin k1 red have a tiny bit and green have a little bit more but it’s  still on the low side avocados have low vitamin k1 white cabbage celery and cauliflower so  instead of not consuming any vegetables these are the ones that you would want to  consume in a good amount so you can also get your potassium and other vegetables and the ones  to avoid are as follows nato is a fermented soy collards kale spinach mustard greens  brussels sprouts soybeans broccoli lettuce except iceberg which is low in k1 and low  and other nutrients as well and then red cabbage now as a side note green tea does lower the  effectiveness of blood thinners so you probably want to avoid that as well all right so i also put  these in the description so you can check that out thanks for watching hey before you go if  you’re benefiting from any of my content i would love to hear about your success  story please share it in the link down below
