Dr. Liu Feng
Foods that help dissolve blood clots mainly include the following:
1. **Fish meat**: Rich in fish oil, it can regulate blood lipid levels, reduce fibrinogen content, and has a certain effect in dissolving blood clots.
2. **Tomatoes**: Contain abundant antioxidants that can reduce platelet activity and prevent blood clot formation.
3. **Black fungus (Auricularia)**: Can reduce blood viscosity, prevent atherosclerosis, and achieve the purpose of dissolving blood clots and preventing clot formation.
4. **Garlic**: Enhances myocardial contractility, lowers arterial blood pressure, promotes blood circulation, and aids in dissolving blood clots.
5. **Kelp**: Contains fucoidan, which has anticoagulant properties, lowers cholesterol levels, and helps prevent atherosclerosis.
These foods can help improve blood circulation and prevent blood clot formation, although their effectiveness may vary among individuals. If needed, please seek medical attention promptly.
