Grapefruit is a Natural Blood Thinning Food
If you’re at risk for heart disease, you’ve likely heard of blood-thinning medication and a doctor has likely sold it to you. It’s used to help prevent the risk of blood clots, which can block critical blood flow to the heart.
Unfortunately, these medications can come with major side effects (more on that to come) and unless you change your lifestyle, they can’t change anything permanently for you.
Luckily, there are natural, whole blood thinning foods that you can eat regularly to reduce your risk of heart disease or stroke for the long-term. Grapefruit happens to be one of the best foods to thin blood naturally, which can help reduce pressure on your artery walls and blood vessels. Grapefruit also helps lower cholesterol, which is important for heart health and is effective at strengthening blood vessels and capillaries.
For those with atherosclerosis, which is when plaque and fatty deposits start to build-up on your blood vessels and block the flow of blood, grapefruit can act as an artery “scrubber” to scrape away and break down plaque to increase blood flow.
By eating grapefruit every single day, you can help reduce the damage done to your body from poor diet and little exercise, so that you can live a healthier, longer life.
