1. Garlic
A classic heavy-hitter. Garlic helps reduce platelet clumping and supports smoother blood flow. Raw or lightly cooked works best.
2. Ginger
Ginger contains salicylates (natural blood thinners) and may help prevent clot formation. Bonus: great for digestion and inflammation.
3. Turmeric
Thanks to curcumin, turmeric has anticoagulant and anti-inflammatory effects. Pair it with black pepper to boost absorption.
4. Fatty Fish (Salmon, Sardines, Mackerel)
Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which reduce blood viscosity and lower clot risk. Aim for 2 servings a week.
5. Berries (Especially Blueberries & Strawberries)
High in flavonoids and salicylates—compounds linked to improved circulation and heart health.
6. Dark Chocolate (70%+ Cocoa)
Cocoa flavanols help reduce platelet stickiness and improve blood vessel function. Small amounts = big benefits 🍫
7. Green Tea
Packed with catechins that may help prevent clot formation and support cardiovascular health.
