For the person with blood coagulation issues if it is related to taking blood thinners ( warfarin, Coumadin) the good news is you do not have to avoid or reduce leafy green vegetables in your diet. You do have to be consistent with the amount you eat. So it is not advisable to have a two cups of spinach salad one day and none the next. Even physicians will tell patients to avoid the dark green vegetables when taking anticoagulants yet the drug manufactures have booklets available to help patients understand how to include these veggies in their diet.. Often anticoagulant therapy is given to those with hypertension or cardiac issues the very patients who would benefit from the nutrients in leafy greens. Before removing any important food group from the diet a registered dietitian can help guide you in creating a healthy and safe meal plan.

I find it very hard to make healthy meal choices when, because of blood coagulation problems, I am supposed to avoid or heavily reduce green leafy vegetables such as broccoli, cabbage, spinach, kale, etc.

This issue seems to be rarely addressed — and I’m sure many readers or website searchers would love to see some suggestions about alternatives.
