Thrombosis is an insidious and potentially deadly disease that can affect anyone – regardless of age or lifestyle. It often has no warning signs and comes unexpectedly. If we want to reduce the risk of its occurrence, we should start with what we put into our mouths every day. And it is precisely one specific dietary component that experts consider extremely risky.
Thrombosis – a silent enemy that attacks unnoticed
Thrombosis is a condition in which blood clots form in the veins – most commonly in the lower limbs. These clots may not be immediately dangerous on their own, but if they dislodge and travel to the lungs, they can cause a pulmonary embolism, which can be fatal. Each year more than 160 people per 100,000 struggle with this problem.
The risk of thrombosis is greatly increased by an unsuitable diet, smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and a sedentary lifestyle.
Sugar – the sweet killer in our body
One of the biggest culprits in connection with thrombosis and other lifestyle diseases is sugar. It’s not just about ordinary sweetening of tea or coffee, but also about hidden sugar found in industrially processed foods, sweets, soft drinks, or even in so-called „light“ and „fit“ products.
Nutrition expert Rory Batt describes sugar as a poison that destroys our body slowly and insidiously. Its excessive consumption harms the heart, liver, kidneys and promotes inflammatory processes in the body.
How to effectively get rid of sugar?
Start reading labels. Even products that appear healthy, like fruit juices or low-fat yogurts, can contain huge amounts of added sugar. By eliminating these foods from your diet you will do more for your health than you think.
Your body will reward you with better blood circulation, stable blood sugar levels and less fatigue.
What to include instead?
Instead of sugar and industrially processed foods, doctors and nutrition experts recommend focusing on foods rich in fiber and omega-3 fatty acids. Whole grains, fresh vegetables, fruit and fatty fish (for example salmon or mackerel) support vascular health and reduce the risk of thrombosis.
Equally important are regular physical activity and avoiding alcohol and cigarettes.
Summary and conclusion
The path to healthier blood vessels and thrombosis prevention can be surprisingly simple. It is enough to exclude one component – sugar – and replace it with wholesome, natural foods. The results will not take long to appear – not only will you feel better, but you will significantly reduce the risk of serious health complications.
