In this video, we present to you 7 blood thinning foods that help prevent blood clots. Blood clots are clumps of blood that form in your body. Clotting is essential as it prevents excessive bleeding. However, when blood clots block the flow of blood to crucial parts of your body, it can become dangerous and even fatal. Luckily some foods can make the blood thin and prevents the formation of blood clots.

Here is a list of seven blood-thinning foods that will help in preventing blood clots in the body.

1. Kiwi
As per a study conducted by the University of Oslo, Kiwi is the ideal and the best fruit that can prevent dangerous clots in the body.

2. Cinnamon
Cinnamon is excellent in preventing blood clots because it contains coumarin, which is a blood-thinning agent.

3. Garlic
Garlic has been used as an effective medicine for ages. Garlic has the ability to thin the blood and prevent the formation of clots.

4. Onions
Onions help in a significant way in preventing blood clots because they contain a compound called rutin, which acts as an anticoagulant and reduces the risk of clot formation and high blood pressure.

5. Olive Oil
It is advised to switch to olive oil for cooking because it enhances your cardiovascular health by preventing the formation of blood clots.

6. Fish and Flax
Omega-3 fatty acids are incredibly beneficial to the body as they avert strokes and blood clots.

7. Nuts and Whole Grains
Foods rich in vitamin E also prevent blood clotting, because vitamin E is an anticoagulant. It minimizes the risk of getting the first blood clot, and even if you already have one, it prevents you from developing more clots.

These are 7 foods to prevent blood clots.

These exercises are not designed for preventing blood clots associated with Covid 19 astrazeneca vaccination. They are not appropriate for individuals with a pre existing blood clot. Always follow medical advice regarding home management of existing blood clots.

What Causes a Blood Clot (DVT)

Blood clots can form inside the deep veins of the legs when the blood is not moving well through these veins. When the blood inside the deep veins does not move, it can coagulate within a short time of not moving. The risk of blood clots increases particularly when the individual is unable to move normally and regularly get out of bed.

When the muscles surrounding the veins contract, they squeeze these veins forcing the blood to move through which helps prevent blood clotting. This blood is then returned to the heart, wastes are removed and the blood is then reoxygenated and travels around the body again.

How Covid 19 Blood Clotting Prevention Exercises Work

Covid 19 illness can decrease mobility and increase fatigue. Immobility involving sitting or resting in bed for extended periods of time can increase the risk of blood clots forming. These gentle circulation exercises contract the leg muscles surrounding the deep veins improving blood flow. These circulation exercises are simple and will not cause excessive fatigue. They should be performed regularly throughout the day whenever resting in bed or sitting in a chair.

The Covid 19 circulation exercises demonstrated in this video are presented as 3 alternatives depending on whether or not the individual is out of bed:

1. Lying in bed
2. Sitting in a chair
3. Standing leaning against the back of a chair or a wall.

A. Circulation exercises demonstrated in bed
*Calf pumps
*Heel slides
*Push knees into back of bed and squeeze thighs and buttocks

B. Circulation exercises sitting in a chair
*Calf pumps
*Heel raises
*Leg lift and extend (single leg)

C. Standing circulation exercises
*Calf raises wall/chair
*Mini squats wall/chair
*Marching on one spot
*Walking

Walking is one of the best circulation exercises for promoting circulation and prevent blood clots, especially with illness such as Covid19 that causes fatigue and the need for increased rest.
