Is there a food to help get rid of blood clots?

clotting is more likely to happen when 3things happen together, its called Virchows Triad:\n1) Venous stasis - things that stop the blood flowing round easliy. A simple way to prevent this is to keep moving around as much as you can. Clogged arteries is not something you can remedy yourself so see a doctor.\n2) Hypercoagulability - which means the blood is thick and ready to clot. One of the easiest ways to prevent this is make sure you drink plenty of WATER, not soda or coffee since this contains caffeine which makes your blood thicker because it's a diuretic.\n3) Any damage to a vein wall. This is harder to prevent, but make sure that clothes are not too tight, eg, belts, sock tops etc and try not to knock any varicose veins.\nThat's the best prevention - if all of those factors are there then there is high risk of getting a clot.\nGetting rid of a clot is different, you would be best to get proper medical attention and tablets that help to break down clots in the body. It's best to see a doctor.

you should eat small things through out the day. have a small breakfast. and if you are hungry two hours later grab celery or carrots. if you have craving for chocolate, then allow yourself half a candy bar.  take ibuprophen for pain, its also a blood thinner.

If you are interested in a 100% natural whole food approach, I highly recommend ViaViente.  High blood pressure runs in my husband's family.  He tried dietary changes, high-cardio workouts, but nothing seemed to work.  He was getting prescribed medications but it didn't sit well with him that he is only 38 and would have to take hi BP meds.  So, his personal trainer/nutritionist and wife (who is a doctor), turned him on to ViaViente (which they recommend to all their clients/patients who are interested in natural approaches to combat nearly any health ailment imaginable).  After 3 weeks, his blood pressure went from 140+ to 117.  It has been 3 months now and it is at a stable 110.\n\nI know a network of trainers, nutritionists, doctors, physical therapists and herbalists who highly recommend this product.  It has also helped me with my lifelong allergy problem (I no longer take any meds) and my kids have not had a drop of Motrin or Tylenol since they've been drinking this juice (I used to feel like I was drugging my kids because they used to get sick so often).  My family loves it and we highly recommend it for preventative health, maintenance...your body just operates at an optimal level with ViaViente added to your diet.  4 ounces a day is equivalent to 20 servings of fruits and vegetables.\n\nYou are welcome to contact me directly and I can answer additional questions you may have.  I did quite a bit of research on the product and it's nearest competitors.

Bergamont mint tea helps.  It's an herb my mother used to grow and gave me growing up.

Oatmeal and fresh fruit.  Can't beat it.  Complex carbs for long term energy (oatmeal), and simple carbs (fruit) for short term energy spikes.  Plus it can help reduce your cholesterol

Anything on the Mediteranean diet (what the Italians eat) Italians have less heart disease than those of us in US and UK, and this is attributed to their diet. Lots of lovely lean meat and fresh fish with vegetables and salads dressed in olive oil. Add to this as much garlic as you can stand....or garlic capsules if your partner complains. It has the side effect of keeping the vampires away!\n\nTry cookin fresh salmon by wrapping in foil with lemon and parsley and baking in the oven for 15 minutes, medium heat. Serve with potato wedges (preferably home made and without extra salt) Add garlic for flavour instead of salt. Choose your favourite salad or veg to go wit this dish. If you don't like these foods much, don't worry, you can get used to them, and you will soon wonder why you ever ate anything else, because they are Real food and very good for your health generally, as well as your heart.\n\nKeep your intake of salt as low as possible - lots of processed foods contain this.\n\nSorry, but you should avoid smoking and large quantites of alcohol!! But a glass of wine a day with your evening meal could be beneficial - check with your doc.\n\nTry to keep your stress levels low. Do some very gentle exercise and some relaxation to your favourite music.\n\nAsk for and give lots of HUGS!! Very therapeutic "food" for the soul.

I am also 50 something and have already had a clogged artery in the heart that required a stent.\n\nSimple diet modifications can help. Just doing away with most meat and eating losts of fruit brought down my cholesterol from the 220-240 range to the 190s.\n\nHaving found out my problem in an airplane at 29000 feet I can say from firsthand experience that this would be a horrible way to die. It is not necessarily slow and it scares the daylights out of you. After the blockage was treated it took me several years to get over anxiety stemming from it.\n\nLet your Dad know that he does not have to die from this. He may be thinking it is genetic and that there is not much you can do to control it. This is not true many times.\n\nMy advice is to start doing everything natural that you can. I do not know if it is true but there is one article that claims Bromelain (you can get it at a natural helath food store) will clear your arteries. One lady took it and had a followup angiogram that showed no blockage. I had some pain in my back once and it went away not long after I took Bromelain. Maybe it was all in my head but I doubt it. It is a natural anti inflammatory , digests protein and helps keep the blood from clotting. Obviously if cholesterol is high you should follow a Doctor's advice for lowering it. Some Doctors are enlightened about using natural substances to help.\n\nRegardless of what else he does , tell him to eat 5 pieces of fruit a day. The pectin in the fruit binds with the cholsesterol and flushes some of it out.

For some reason I've always found that Homemade Chicken Soup helps in more ways than anything else.  I start it from scratch by buying a whole chicken.  If you don't feel like doing that, then my sons and their wives tell me the only other kind of chicken soup that helps them feel better is Mrs. Grasses.\n\nOn another front, if you're not allergic to anything Advil Cold and Sinus is terrific.  In Michigan now, because drug addicts were breaking it down, I have to ask the Pharmacy for it.  But it kept me in classes at the college this last fall.  At least it helps enough to make a person functional because of the antihistimine.  But if you're taking meds for anything, ask your doctor first...especially if you have high blood pressure.
