So let's talk about the seven natural blood thinners, okay, there are certain things that don't have side effects that can thin your blood and actually stop a clot. Okay, vitamin E within the blood. If you're going to take vitamin E, make sure that it's the whole complex, that is not a synthetic version, you want the the kind that has Toko trails and tocopherol together.
Okay. And then we have garlic, garlic right now is being heavily researched by Big Pharma for its anti thrombotic effect, okay? It actually can thin the blood naturally, and there's a certain compound, a phytonutrients in garlic that's responsible for that, and they're trying to synthesize that or so they can patent it. But what about just take garlic, then we have something called natto kinase, okay? It's a natural blood thinner. tumeric is another good blood thinner, apple cider vinegar, very simple, included in your diet, it can help them the blood.
Also, cod liver oil, you can also do fish oil. But the omega three fatty acids have natural blood thinning properties. Now we have Pycnogenol, this would be equivalent to using aspirin, okay in certain studies, so it comes from pine bark, and it's pretty darn effective. Now, if you had, I don't know, surgery, heart surgery, or you had a stroke, for example, you are probably on Coumadin.
And that basically blocks vitamin K one, because it's an anticoagulant, okay, because vitamin K one helps you clot. And unfortunately, now you can't consume a lot of foods with vitamin K one, okay? Because just so happens, those are the vegetable family that you need to provide for other nutrients. So I put a link down below of what types of vegetables you should be eating that are low in vitamin K, one that have been other types of vitamins. So you can check that out if you actually have to be honest.
But work with your doctor to see if you can do an alternative to this, or even these alternatives right here. Because I'm not recommending that you stop your medication, check with your doctor. This is just data to research. If you wanted to go more natural big question is what causes a clot in strokes in the first place? Well, one big cause is high levels of blood sugar, and high levels of insulin as an insulin resistance.
I mean, take a look at Metformin, for example. One of the effects of Metformin is it can decrease the risk of getting a thrombus. Okay, well, Metformin works to increase the receptor for insulin, it improves insulin resistance. I'm not recommending taking it. I'm just telling you that one of the effects of Metformin is it decreases thrombus because high levels of insulin creates a thrombus Okay, and this is another reason why you should do healthy keto and intermittent fasting to decrease your risk of getting a stroke in general. Alright guys, thanks for watching.
