Why is this group of people prohibited from consuming leafy greens?
Russian doctor Alexander Myasnikov said that although vegetables contain vitamins and minerals, some people should not eat them.
And Myasnikov points out in a TV show that vegetables are an important source of mineral elements and vitamins, including vitamin K. If for most people this is positive, then for a certain group of patients this is a problem.
According to him, it turns out that vitamin K is not suitable for patients who take anticoagulants (drugs that thin the blood). Because the action of vitamin K is contrary to the action of the mentioned drugs. Therefore, if a person eats more vegetables, the effect of blood-thinning drugs is greatly reduced.
Based on this fact, Myasnikov advises everyone who takes blood-thinning drugs to eat vegetables with caution and not to overeat.
