Blood Clot Prevention & Vessel Health
Keeping Arteries Flexible
Why it matters:
Healthy blood vessels are flexible, allowing blood to flow freely. When arteries stiffen or blood clots form too easily, the risk of heart attack or stroke rises. Supporting vessel elasticity and reducing unwanted clotting helps protect long-term cardiovascular health.
How it works:
- Omega-3s → reduce platelet stickiness, lowering the chance of clots.
- Vitamin K2 → directs calcium into bones instead of arteries, preventing stiffness.
- Garlic → supports nitric oxide and reduces platelet aggregation.
- Nattokinase → an enzyme from fermented soy that helps break down fibrin (clot material).
- Curcumin (turmeric) → lowers inflammation and protects vessel lining.
Foods that help:
- Fatty fish, walnuts, flaxseed → Omega-3s
- Natto (fermented soy), hard cheeses → Vitamin K2
- Garlic, onions → natural vessel protectors
- Turmeric with black pepper → enhanced curcumin absorption
- Leafy greens → additional vascular support
Lifestyle tip:
Staying active is one of the simplest ways to prevent blood clot formation. Long periods of sitting (e.g., flights, desk work) increase clot risk.
Helpful for:
- Family history of heart attack or stroke
- Stiff arteries or high clot risk
- Preventive cardiovascular care
