Doctors sound the alarm: 5 foods that thicken blood and raise blood pressure

Why are they harmful:

• Cause blood sugar spikes

• Trigger hidden inflammatory reactions

• Increases the risk of high blood pressure and diabetes

Healthy alternatives:  lemon water, homemade unsweetened fruit drinks, mint or rosehip tea.

What else is damaging vessels—without us realizing it:

Excess salt  leads to water retention and high blood pressure

Insufficient fluid intake  — blood thickens

Overeating in the evening  — puts a strain on the heart

Sedentary lifestyle  — reduces vascular tone

How to keep your vessels healthy every day:

Start your day with a glass of water: it “wakes up” your blood circulation.

Eat more vegetables and fiber: they help eliminate excess cholesterol

Include nuts and oily fish — sources of healthy fats

Move at least 30 minutes a day

Reduce your sugar and salt intake: your dishes will thank you
