Additional recommendations and prevention
Taking medicinal herbs and healthy foods alone will not make a global difference to your blood clotting situation if you are overloading your body and ignoring other principles necessary to maintain health.
It is extremely important to change your approach to nutrition. You should exclude harmful foods from your diet - fried, spicy, salty, flour, sweet. It is better to bake dishes in the oven or steam them.
Another point is moderate physical activity. Many people today lead a sedentary lifestyle. You need to be in the fresh air for at least half an hour a day, walk a lot. If your schedule allows and you want to, go to the gym, dance hall or swimming pool.
You should also give up bad habits. Alcohol and cigarettes have never made anyone healthier. Many people consider proper nutrition expensive, but much more money is spent on unhealthy foods and bad habits. Your health is only in your hands! And when the first alarming symptoms appear, indicating problems with the cardiovascular system, you need to consult a doctor.

Chime
Berlin-Chemie (Berlin-Chemie), Germany
The antiplatelet effect of Curantil is associated with its ability to reduce the reverse transport of adenosine into cells, which leads to its accumulation in the extracellular space.
The direct antiplatelet effect of Curantil lies in its ability to increase the antiplatelet ability of PGE1 and suppress the activity of phosphodiesterase in platelets, resulting in the accumulation of cyclic AMP, which has a direct vasodilatory effect on the arteries of the heart, and the accumulation of thromboxane A2 leads to an increase in the lifespan of platelets, due to their reduction aggregation. from 472

Rules of use for harm reduction
The basic rule for drinking alcohol to reduce harm from it is limited cultural consumption. Each drink has guidelines for responsible consumption.
In general, for wine it will be 175-350 ml, for strong alcohol - 50-150 ml, for beer - no more than 1 liter.
The recommended dosage implies that when consuming the specified amount of alcohol, the health risk will be minimal. Accordingly, in the case of consumption of “healthy alcohol”, the benefit will be more significant than the harm caused.
In addition, there are general rules based on everyday logic. They should not be neglected, even if dosage recommendations are not followed. These include the following:
- Avoid drinking alcohol in the heat, in the sun, in stuffy rooms with insufficient fresh air;
- avoid smoking, including passive smoking, when consuming alcohol;
- drink alcohol only in pleasant company;
- have a snack - accompany drinking alcohol with tasty and healthy food;
- provide access to fresh air - for better absorption and easier removal from the body.

Passage of alcohol through the body
The weak polarization of ethyl alcohol molecules allows it to easily penetrate cell membranes. The substance begins to be absorbed in small quantities in the oral cavity and esophagus, in moderate quantities in the stomach and colon, but mainly in the small intestine.
Alcoholic drinks do not have any effect on the circulatory system when inhaled or penetrated through the skin

Causes of blood thickening
This problem is often caused by poor diet, bad habits, and frequent stress. Common reasons include:
- increased blood glucose levels due to excessive consumption of protein foods and fast carbohydrates (sweet, flour, white rice);
- increased cholesterol levels due to frequent consumption of fatty foods, fast food, and alcohol;
- lack of B vitamins and ascorbic acid in the body;
- dehydration due to too little fluid intake.
10 symptoms of high blood viscosity
- Headache.
- Dizziness.
- Chronic fatigue.
- Frequent infections.
- Deterioration in the quality of hair, nails, skin.
- Tingling, goosebumps, numbness.
- Feeling of cold extremities.
- Edema.
- Heart rhythm disturbances.
- Dryness of lips, mucous membranes.
Recently, coronavirus has become one of the provoking factors. Scientists believe that COVID-19 affects blood clots. A complex process occurs in the body associated with the hormone angiotensin II, with which the SARS-CoV-2 virus interacts. In response to inflammatory processes in cells, the body releases large quantities of the enzyme thrombin, which is responsible for blood clotting. At risk are patients with arterial hypertension (hypertension), diabetes mellitus, and excess body weight⁸. Therefore, coagulants are often included in the treatment program for coronavirus infection.
How coronavirus increases the risk of thrombosis
“According to research, COVID-19 appears to induce a hypercoagulable state through mechanisms unique to the coronavirus pathogen (SARS-COV-2).
The virus enters the cells of the lungs and blood vessels using certain receptors, which leads to the release of large amounts of inflammatory cytokines and chemokines. This further leads to activation of vascular cells and some blood components (monocytes and neutrophils, platelets) and disruption of their work. This triggers a coagulation cascade that generates thrombin and a fibrin clot (thrombus). Without going into details, it should be noted that in addition to this main pathway of thrombus formation, COVID-19 has several alternative pathways that are also activated during infection.” Kochenderfer Alexander Vladimirovich

Signs of thrombosis
Thrombosis and thrombophlebitis are similar to varicose veins in symptoms, but have completely different origins. Varicose veins are not inflammatory in nature, while thrombosis is an inflammation of the venous walls. The main signs of the disease are:
- burning, bursting pain;
- swelling, especially in the ankle area;
- darkening of the skin, the appearance of red stripes in the affected area;
- chest pain;
- feeling of lack of air.
Thrombosis does not always have pronounced symptoms. Patients often confuse it with signs of fatigue and do not take any action. This can lead to harmful consequences, including death.

Contraindications
There are few cases of bans or at least restrictions on the use of lemon. Yes, and they are mainly regarded as preventive.
- Children under 3 years of age. In infancy, the child’s digestive system is only in its infancy, so it is advisable to abstain from this valuable product until the age of 3.
- Individual intolerance. It is considered to be the most hypoallergenic of citrus fruits. But cases of allergies can never be completely ruled out.
- Acute pancreatitis, gastritis and other diseases of the digestive tract, especially during exacerbation. With a gentle diet, it is better not to use lemon juice.
- Weak tooth enamel. Even with good teeth, it is advisable to rinse your mouth after contact with citric acid. If eating the fruit causes discomfort in the mouth, then you need to contact your dentist with a complaint about weak tooth enamel.

What about liquid cocoa?
Cocoa consists of almost 50% vegetable fats, but they are easily digestible and oxidize while still in the stomach (under the influence of certain groups of enzymes).
Cocoa also contains a large amount of phytoncides , theobromine, which help thin the blood. Ideally, it should be consumed as a coffee drink without added sugar, but in this case it tastes quite nasty.
Cocoa powder also contains a number of tannins that can help increase blood viscosity. This also confirms that it is still not worth abusing it.
Another feature of cocoa is that it contains about 25 different antioxidants , which slow down the oxidation processes of blood cells. These include thiarin, polyphenol, arginine, dopamine (also a neurotransmitter), tryptophan. Most of these antioxidants are not synthesized in the body from simple amino acids.
