Blood is the main fluid of the body that circulates through the blood vessels. It consists of plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets.
Blood is a vehicle for oxygen, nutrients and waste products. In addition to its transport function, it maintains normal body temperature and water-salt balance in the body.
This is interesting:
- The amount of blood in a person’s body directly depends on his gender. In men, the blood volume is 5 liters, in women it is limited to 4 liters.
- The color of blood depends on the substances that make up it. In vertebrates, the red color of blood is provided by the iron present in red blood cells.
- If all the red blood cells circulating in a person’s blood are placed in a row, then the resulting ribbon can encircle the globe along the equator three times.
Recipes of proven folk remedies
In addition to individual products, you can also prepare cleansing tinctures and decoctions. Proven and effective folk recipes will help us with this.
Garlic based
Garlic is good because, in addition to its pronounced taste, it has powerful healing potential.

A diet that prevents the formation of blood clots and strengthens the walls of blood vessels
Only a nutritionist can give specific instructions for dietary nutrition that prevents blood clots. Each case is individual, so the specialist must take into account the medical history, age of the patient and the presence of concomitant pathologies.
In general, a transition to a healthy diet is recommended, and contrary to popular belief, there is nothing complicated about it. Patients note some difficulties only in the first month of following proper nutrition, and then the desire to eat a harmful product no longer arises.
For women and men over 50 years old
It is recommended to include the following foods in the diet of men and women after 50 years of age:
- cereals;
- cottage cheese;
- honey;
- figs;
- green tea;
- chicken's meat;
- berries - blueberries, cranberries;
- hawthorn and rose hips;
- greens - spinach, celery, parsley;
- foods containing phosphorus - walnuts, peas, cheese, cod liver.
During pregnancy
A pregnant woman should eat food not only with nutrients, but also those that help thin the blood.
It is recommended to include in the diet of the expectant mother:
- Fruits - citrus fruits, kiwi, pomegranate, dried apricots, prunes, apples and apricots.
- Cucumbers are close relatives of zucchini; they also contain a lot of water and vitamins.
- Tomatoes contain structured water, which is the easiest to digest, as well as substances that improve the structure of the blood.
- Cabbage is rich in vitamins and minerals that adsorb cholesterol and toxins. Not only white cabbage is useful, but also broccoli, Beijing cabbage, and cauliflower. Sauerkraut contains more vitamin C than fresh cabbage.
- Zucchini - 90% of this vegetable is structured water, which perfectly normalizes blood viscosity. In addition, zucchini contains a lot of fiber and a rich vitamin and mineral composition.
- Unrefined vegetable oils – olive, sunflower, sesame, flaxseed, pumpkin. They nourish the walls of blood vessels and cleanse them of harmful cholesterol.
- Spices – ginger, cinnamon, paprika, turmeric, cayenne pepper. But all seasonings should first be tested for intolerance and allergic reactions.
- Birch sap is based on pure water that has passed through unique natural filters. In addition, birch sap contains many vitamins.
- Berries - black and red currants, strawberries and wild strawberries, blueberries and sea buckthorn, cranberries and lingonberries. They contain many vitamins that have a positive effect on the circulatory system.
For hypertension
For hypertension, the diet should consist of the following products:
- soups;
- lean meat;
- various cereals;
- dairy products;
- berries, fruits, vegetables, herbs;
- products containing potassium and magnesium;
- fatty sea fish, best steamed.
Dietary nutrition for hypertensive patients involves a significant reduction in animal fats in the diet. The exception is fatty sea fish, as it is saturated with Omega-3 fatty acids and iodine, which are very important for the normal functioning of the body.
For hypertensive patients, split meals are recommended - 4-5 times a day, but the last meal should be no later than 3 hours before bedtime.
What should you avoid?
But it’s not enough to just include food in your diet that will help thin your blood. You should also refuse (or rather, minimize their consumption) from those foods that contribute to blood thickening. These include:
- Almost all dairy products. Milk contains casein, which is a special carbohydrate that breaks down into derivative elements only under the action of certain groups of enzymes. Simply put, these are complex carbohydrates, which take many times longer to digest than fructose and other simple sugars. This is why dairy products thicken the blood.
- Alcoholic drinks. All of them contain ethyl alcohol, which is perceived by the body as poison. Its breakdown, neutralization and removal from the body is accompanied by the use of a huge volume of liquid (and this is why a person feels very thirsty after drinking alcohol). At the same time, alcohol increases blood viscosity exponentially. This is true even for small amounts of weak alcohol. At the same time, you should definitely avoid vodka and beer, which tend to thicken the blood. Use cognac with caution. But red wine has a special effect on the blood, which you can read about in a separate article.
- Animal fats. Pork, beef, sausage products - all contain animal fats that break down into lipid compounds. When there is an excess of them in the body, they are not absorbed, but are deposited in the subcutaneous tissue, as well as in the blood vessels themselves. You shouldn’t completely exclude animal fats from your diet, but it should still be based on grains, vegetables and fruits.
- Potato. In principle, absolutely all products that contain a large amount of starch (for example, rice) can be written here. It is transformed into carbohydrates in the body, which contributes to a sharp increase in sugar levels in the blood plasma and its thickening.
- Bananas. Although they are fruits, they contain a large amount of carbohydrates. If you do eat them, then no more than 2 medium-sized fruits per day (and even less for children).
Products to improve blood condition and cleanse blood vessels
To improve the condition of the blood and blood vessels, it is necessary to carry out a course of cleansing to remove cholesterol, which narrows the lumen of blood vessels, making it difficult for the heart muscle to work.
During this period, it is important to pay special attention to the diet: it should be dominated by products to improve the condition of the blood and cleanse blood vessels. If you look more broadly, this is a group of healthy products for the heart and blood vessels, as well as the body as a whole. Without such a diet, the effectiveness of other procedures may go down the drain.
There will also be a zero effect in those who do not want to give up cigarettes and alcohol.
Without such a diet, the effectiveness of other procedures may go down the drain. A zero effect will also occur in those who do not want to give up cigarettes and alcohol.
If cleaning is done correctly, the result will not be long in coming: memory and body tone improve, weather sensitivity and pressure surges are reduced, headaches and dizziness are minimized.
Products and recipes for cleaning vessels:
- Lemons
They have antioxidant properties, strengthen the walls, and stimulate lymph flow. Particularly effective when mixed with olive oil and honey, oranges and honey.
- Garlic and onion
They resist cholesterol, replenish the supply of microelements and bioactive substances. Garlic is infused in vegetable oil, chopped onion is mixed with honey.
- Walnuts
A source of polyunsaturated fatty acids and minerals that improve blood circulation. Eat ground with dried apricots and raisins, or tangerines, or a pineapple slice and honey.
- Juices
In addition to cleansing the blood vessels, it removes toxins accumulated in the interstitial spaces and restores lymph circulation. The most effective juices are pure birch, apple, orange, beet juice with honey.
- Valerian root

Before you start cleaning the blood vessels, it is recommended to clean the gastrointestinal tract, kidneys and liver so that toxins do not enter the bloodstream and negate the efforts spent. But such procedures are also stressful for the body, so it is better to coordinate them with a specialist.
Legumes
All legumes have a pronounced choleretic effect. Their regular consumption helps rid the blood of excess cholesterol. Beans, peas, soybeans, lentils and beans are rich in proteins, which are similar in composition to animal proteins, although they are somewhat less digestible.
For those who do not like or do not tolerate dishes prepared from mature beans, green pods (scapulas) collected at the stage of milky ripeness are perfect. You can grow the required amount of this tasty product yourself in the garden and even on the balcony. Varieties of green beans (cowpeas) have been specially bred, the pods of which reach 50-60 cm in length and remain soft for a long time.
Best options
To feel good and have excellent health of the body and skin, you need to eat healthy foods for the blood more often, and stay outside, breathing in fresh air. The best option is on the seashore, or deep in the forest. It also makes sense to go outside immediately after rain, because the air will be thinner, and the perception of such air is much easier for the body and more beneficial.
The above places contain a huge amount of iodine, and the rarefied air contains phytoncides.
The main thing is not to forget, in addition to eating healthy foods, attend preventive examinations in hospitals and clinics.
When is blood thinning required?
Blood consists of plasma and formed elements. Their ratio is called the hematocrit number. The values of this indicator increase if the blood thickens. Such a substance is difficult to pump, so the heart wears out prematurely. It tends to form blood clots and is poorly pushed through the capillaries.
Hematocrit is determined in the laboratory. Using high numbers, the doctor identifies the causes and prescribes treatment for hyperviscose syndrome. This helps the patient get rid of a number of serious pathologies, including atherosclerosis.
Symptoms of thickening of the body fluid include:
- Heaviness in the legs.
- Memory impairment.
- Drowsiness.
- Absent-mindedness.
- Fast fatiguability.
Products needed for blood
The first doctors of China paid special attention to the circulatory system and the composition of the blood. The sages of the Celestial Empire said: “Blood nourishes, cools and moisturizes the body
Blood provides peace of mind, ease, the ability to relax and sleep well. Recovery and healthy, restful sleep depend on the quality of the blood. High-quality food helps replenish internal energy and blood, so that the organs are well supplied and can balance the loads should they arise.” Well, let's look at products that help treat blood without drugs.
Vegetables, fruits, berries are a storehouse of vitamins. Proper nutrition, which is practiced by sanatoriums and health-improving complexes, involves starting each meal with vegetable salads, seasoned with vegetable oil and decorated with herbs (parsley, dill, cilantro, basil, etc.). Only after this can you enjoy fruits and berries, which oxidize the digestive processes and contain a lot of fructose. By increasing acidity, juicy gifts of nature accelerate the absorption of complex carbohydrates, fats and proteins of animal origin: every 80 g of meat, poultry or fish should be accompanied by 100 g of vegetables and fruits. Patients with circulatory problems need to consume apples daily, rich in iron, potassium, calcium, organic acids, vitamins P, E, C. Group B, which helps treat anemia and cleanse the blood
For anemia, it is also important to consume sweet and acid-rich grapes and cherries (formic, malic, citric, salicylic, etc.), which provide the patient with copper and iron. Like tart cherries, sweet melon, which contains a lot of fiber, carotene and folic acid, increases hemoglobin and thins the blood
Gooseberries also promote hematopoiesis, containing tannins necessary for iron deficiency anemia.
Juices are healing extracts of nature’s gifts. Freshies are an ideal option for young hematologist patients who reject healthy fruits. An excellent supplier of vitamins A, C, E, D and group B is carrot juice, prescribed for anemia. And to improve blood composition and, in fact, well-being, you should prepare beetroot juice for an afternoon snack, which activates the formation of red blood cells and also dilates blood vessels.
Nuts are natural energy drinks. Many people in intellectual work use nuts, highly nutritious proteins of plant origin, as a stimulant of brain activity. Peeled walnuts and pine nuts, almonds and hazelnuts, consumed daily in minimal quantities (a handful of these high-calorie gifts of nature are enough to satisfy hunger), reduce the risk of anemia and increase hemoglobin. In addition, 30 g per day of your favorite and irreplaceable nuts, which contain the amino acid argitine, helps saturate the blood with oxygen and form capillaries.
Honey and pollen are medicine from animals to humans. If possible, patients suffering from anemia should take 1 teaspoon of pollen three times a day before meals. And if you are not allergic to honey, you should consume buckwheat honey, albeit in moderation.
Fish is a gift from the sea. Of the various protein foods, fish is the most beneficial product, especially for the blood. Because seafood contains, in addition to easily digestible protein, Omega-3 unsaturated fats, which are building materials for cells and blood vessels. In addition, some varieties of fish (for example, flounder) are famous for taurine, one of the main components of the hematopoietic process.
Water is the source of life
In case of blood stagnation, swelling, constant numbness of the extremities, it is vital to drink at least 2 liters of liquid per day: still mineral water, freshly squeezed juices, teas, compotes and, of course, first courses. Water is the simplest and most affordable way to thin the blood.
Thus, artificial food created by technology (“fast food”, canned food) in most cases is detrimental to human life in general and blood in particular. While juicy fruits and nutritious gifts of nature, which took care of the well-being of our body in advance, not only decorate the feast, but also preserve health, youth and beauty.
Anticoagulant products
A substance, product or drug that can liquefy and prevent the formation of blood clots is called an anticoagulant.
Let's consider which products thin the blood and normalize blood circulation; they have the most powerful anticoagulating effect.
Vitamin C in berries and fruits
The most well-known pharmaceutical anticoagulant that prevents blood clotting is acetylsalicylic acid or aspirin. This is artificially synthesized vitamin C. It is this that provides aspirin with anticoagulating properties. This vitamin has a complex effect. It dilutes the cerebrospinal fluid directly, and at the same time strengthens the walls of blood vessels, initiates cleansing of the intestines and liver. Therefore, eating sour-tasting foods containing vitamin C is beneficial for people with thick blood.
Vitamin C is found in the pulp and peel of many berries and fruits. In addition to liquefaction, it also increases the strength of vascular walls. In vegetables and fruits, this vitamin creates a characteristic sourness, by which its presence can be determined. List of foods that contain acidic vitamin C:
- In citrus fruits there is more of it in lemons, kiwi, pomegranates, a little less in oranges, tangerines, and persimmons.
- Onions and garlic are two of the most affordable and effective remedies with natural digestible vitamins. It was with onions that Columbus stopped the scurvy epidemic that began on his ships after several months of travel and eating bread and corned beef.
- In vitamin greens - parsley, onions, nettles, dill, celery, as well as green onions and green garlic.
- In spices - hot pepper, ginger.
- Fruits, especially a lot of vitamin C in sour apples, apricots, plums.
- In vegetables - tomatoes, sauerkraut, beets.
- In berries - almost any. There is especially a lot of vitamin C in cranberries, sea buckthorn, grapes - in their sour varieties, currants, blackberries, raspberries, cherries, strawberries, blueberries, rose hips.
Fresh fruits and vegetables have a complex effect. In addition to vitamin C, they supply enzymes to the body. Their quantity also affects the thickness and fluidity of internal fluids. With enzymatic deficiency, food is not completely digested; under-oxidized protein and lipid (fat) particles enter the blood, which make it thicker and initiate the formation of blood clots.
In contrast to fresh fruit, cooked foods exhibit thickening properties. It contains no vitamins and makes digestion difficult.
Herbs with Vitamin C
Vitamin C is also found in herbs. The most famous suppliers of vitamins that strengthen blood vessels and improve immunity:
- hibiscus, also known as hibiscus or Sudanese rose;
- willow bark;
- artichoke;
- gingko biloba (grows in China and is imported in dried, ground form, as part of food supplements)
Also, a number of herbs help restore and cleanse liver cells. Therefore, consuming them in powder or tea form also thins the blood.
- Dandelion leaves and roots
. The leaves are added to salad, the root is ground in a coffee grinder, and added to food as a seasoning.
- Burdock leaves and roots
– used similarly: leaves – in salads, dried and ground roots – in spicy mixtures.
- Milk thistle
– the seeds of this plant are also ground and added to spices.
Honey
Natural bee honey is a remedy for all diseases. Its unique composition provides the body with minerals, vitamins, acids, and enzymes. And also digestible sugars.
Honey enzymes enhance digestion, cleanse the liver, and stimulate intestinal cleansing. And at the same time, they thin the thick blood.
Biologically active substances allow honey not only to dilute internal fluids. They also have a beneficial effect on their composition - they increase the number of red blood cells and treat anemia.
Where is it formed?
Blood cells are formed in the bone marrow (this is a soft spongy tissue, it is found inside large bones, filling their internal cavity).
The average blood volume in an adult is from 4.5 to 6 liters. 55% of it is plasma - the liquid part of the blood, consisting of water, mineral salts and proteins. The remaining 45% is made up of red blood cells (erythrocytes), white blood cells (leukocytes) and platelets (platelets).

Saffron, in addition to cleansing the blood, also improves metabolism, which also helps cleanse the body of toxins.
Cloves are used to cleanse the lymphatic system
, but there are contraindications to its use - these are inflammatory processes in the body and hypertension.
Coriander is known for its ability to remove heavy metals from the blood.
1-7: Fruits and vegetables
The main benefit of vegetables and fruits for blood vessels is the presence of a large amount of vitamins, as well as fiber, which is not digested or absorbed by the body, but takes part in metabolism (promotes intestinal motility and removes toxins and dense feces from it). What fruits and vegetables are rightfully considered necessary for our vessels?
Lemon
Lemon is known to cleanse arteries. It is one of the largest sources of ascorbic acid (vitamin C), which is involved in the oxidation of cholesterol and stimulates its breakdown into derivative elements.
Moreover, it predominantly reacts with low-density cholesterol, which is usually called “harmful”.
Doctors recommend consuming at least 50 grams of fresh lemon weekly (during heat treatment or, for example, adding citrus to tea, most of the ascorbic acid breaks down into derivatives).
Beet
Beets have an anti-cholesterol effect. This vegetable is one of the largest sources of fiber. Its frequent consumption significantly reduces the risk of developing chronic intestinal diseases.
And beets also help get rid of accumulated toxins, thereby “speeding up” metabolism - “complex” animal fats are absorbed much more actively, cholesterol practically does not accumulate in the circulatory system.
Celery
Celery is good for the heart. It also contains the lion's share of fiber, and it also contains elements such as tyrosine, aspargine, and carotene.
It also contains a whole combination of essential oils (which give the plant its specific taste), which enhance the functioning of the endocrine system, in particular the synthesis of enzymes.
Celery brings the most benefits to the gastrointestinal tract, and indirectly it regulates lipid metabolism.
Pumpkin
Nutritionists say that pumpkin is one of the best sources of “simple” carbohydrates, which are absorbed by the body within 30 to 50 minutes after consumption.
But pumpkin seeds, which contain a fairly large amount of essential oil, are no less useful - it acts as an irritant to the entire digestive system and enhances peristalsis.
And pumpkin oil contains a considerable amount of unsaturated fatty acids - the best option for those who are overweight.
Onion
Although onions are not sour, they contain only slightly less ascorbic acid than lemon and other citrus fruits. In addition, it contains a combination of rare essential oils that stimulate the production of enzymes.
For information on the effect of onions on the cardiovascular system, see a separate article.
They also act as a bactericidal agent, reducing the likelihood of developing infectious diseases.
Doctors also say that daily consumption of red onions (they contain a large amount of iodine) significantly reduces the likelihood of developing diseases of the pancreas and gall bladder - these organs are one of the most important in the entire digestive system.
Ginger
Also rich in vitamin C and specific essential oils.
It acts as an irritant and a long-acting antibacterial agent (that is, the positive effect of its use will be observed after several weeks).
Read more about the benefits of ginger for blood vessels and the heart here.
And ginger root and tea based on it have a positive effect on overall tone. The substances it contains stimulate the absorption of protein and fats, thereby reducing the likelihood of the formation of atherosclerotic plaques
It should be used with caution by those who have problems with the reproductive system (in particular, the prostate gland)
Horseradish
Most of the horseradish root, which is used in cooking, is occupied by fiber and essential oils with a powerful antibacterial effect.
Daily consumption of horseradish reduces the likelihood of developing chronic diseases of the cardiovascular system by almost 10 times. It also helps normalize blood pressure in hyper- and hypotensive patients. Horseradish is also a product that lowers sugar levels, thins the blood and reduces hemoglobin.
Beneficial features
Lakonos contains a huge amount of useful substances. Lakonos is used to treat many diseases, and even official medicine allows the production of medicines based on it. Medicines such as Merifit and Anginol are produced abroad for the treatment of pharyngitis and tonsillitis. As well as “Akofit” and “Fitalaktsin” for the treatment of radiculitis and polyarthritis. In the USSR, medicines were also produced from the roots and leaves of Lakonos, which were used to treat radiculitis and lumbago. Now the production of these drugs has been discontinued. Lakonos is considered an effective remedy for relieving joint pain. Ointments and tinctures are made from the roots, which help fight rheumatic diseases. Alcohol tinctures from the root of Lakonos, diluted with water, are used for gargling for diseases of the throat and upper respiratory tract. Lakonos also brings benefits in other areas not related to medicine. The juice of laccones berries was used as a natural coloring in confectionery and winemaking. Lakonos produces phytoncides that repel many garden pests. Including codling moth butterflies. It has been noticed that if the laccone grows under an apple tree, then there will be less scab on the fruits of the apple tree. The laconis is an extremely ornamental plant and plays an important role in landscape design. And just for an ordinary summer cottage it can become a worthy decoration.
