Blood clots

Helpful Vitamins & Nutrients

Carbohydrates or saccharides are a very important part of nutrition. These biomolecules are beneficial for the immune system, fertilization, blood clotting, development, and much more. Monosaccharides and disaccharides (sugars) are Simple Carbohydrates. Oligosaccharides and Polysaccharides (starches) are Complex Carbohydrates. Polysaccharides are the most abundant saccharrides found in food. Complex carbohydrates enhance digestion, among other benefits. Some carbohydrates, such as fructose, raise blood sugar rapidly, while some, such as starches, raise blood sugar slowly. The USDA recommends six one-ounce servings of grain foods each day, of which at least half should be from whole grain sources, for a heathy diet. 

Omega-3 fatty acids are a type of unsaturated fat that the body does not produce. It can be acquired by eating fish and certain vegetables, such as brussel sprouts and green beans. It is beneficial to vision and the eyes and also help build brain cells. It can help prevent cardiovascular disease, blood clots, hardened arteries, and heart disease. Additionally, it can reduce inflammation and lower blood pressure.

Vitamin K (naphthoquinoids) is produced by the body and is responsible for blood clotting. After you’ve been cut, it works to stop you from losing too much blood. Taking antibiotics can cause deficiencies in Vitamin K but you can rely on green leaf vegetables to replenish your supply.

Recommended Foods

Disclaimer:

  1. For best results, fresh, organic foods are recommended. Foods are most nutritious in their raw form, unless heating is required. 

  2. Food sources are recommended over supplements, but in the event you must use supplements, be sure to purchase them from a reputable source. In the U.S., supplements are not regulated by the FDA.

  3. "Everything in moderation" is a good rule of thumb. Don't shock your system by eating dozens of apples (or anything) in one day. A balanced, yet varied diet is the goal. 

  4. As with medicine, there are no guarantees. Preventative steps can help prevent illness and possibly prolong lives, but there are many contributing factors and variables which can sometimes produce unexpected results.  

  5. Do research and consult your physician before making any serious changes to your diet. Discuss any allergies or concerns you may have.

  6. The information presented here is based on my research and years of note-taking. What started as a short list of cures for friends and family has grown into a full and very complex database, yet is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the benefits of eating healthy foods. This list is a work in progress and by no means complete. My goal is to help people suffering from various ailments, with a secondary goal of spreading the news about the miraculous healing power of foods. Use this information as a launchpad into your new healthy life.
