Patients suffering from arteriosclerosis, high blood pressure, and other cardiac disorders all have something in common; their blood is not clean. The thinner your blood is, the healthier you are.

Murky blood or disabled blood vessels can cause many fatal problems which can threaten one’s life.

Diseases that cause circulatory problems, such as arteriosclerosis, often occur due to one’s unclean blood. Therefore, if you regularly consume foods that are good for thinning your blood, you can prevent circular problems such as stroke. Such foods also help your white blood cells fight against viral diseases such ascommon cold, hepatitis, andpneumonia.

One of the representative foods that thins your blood is mugwort. Mugwortcontains protein, fat, sugar, calcium, phosphorus, iron, vitamin A, B1, B2, and C, so not only it cleanses your blood, it also lowers your blood pressure and promotes digestion. Young mugwort leavesare often used to makemugwortrice cake, soup, andbeomuri. If you soak the leaves in water for a day and brew their thick substances before cooking, then you will get to enjoy their own fragrance.

Sea mustard, which is often consumed by women after they give birth to their children, also decreases blood viscosity. Especially alginic acid, which is the sticky substance of sea mustard, not only thins one’s blood but also effectively prevents various adult diseases.

Flavonoid and polyphenol, a lot of which are found in onions and garlics, strengthen one’s blood vessels bypreventingblood clots from developing on the blood vessels.

Especially a substance called pectin in onions increases the amount of HDL or the good cholesterol. That is why onions are often served with Chinese foods with pork which are rich in cholesterol. Also, allicin in garlics breaks down cholesterol, dropping the cholesterol level in the blood and keeps the blood vessels flexible.
