***People who take blood thinners are encouraged to eat dark leafy veggies.***

Veggies have vitamin K which counteracts the blood thinners. Do not eat these veggies if you are on blood thinners!

I’ve been on blood thinners for the last 19 years due to an artificial heart valve. I have to take a “pro time” every month to make sure my blood is thin enough. If it is too thick or has a fast coagulation time I am told to not eat any of these veggies.

Hmmm, I’m eating broccoli as I read the thread.

The food dye that gives blue M&Ms their colour can help mend spinal injuries, researchers have claimed after tests on rats.
