Cardiovascular disease is the number one killer that threatens the life and health of middle-aged and elderly people. Did you know that 80% of the cases of cardiovascular diseases are due to the formation of blood clots in blood vessels? Blood clots are also known as “undercover killers” and “hidden killers”.
According to statistics, deaths caused by thrombotic diseases account for 51% of all deaths worldwide, far exceeding those caused by tumors.
For example, coronary artery thrombosis can lead to myocardial infarction, cerebral artery thrombosis may induce stroke (stroke), while lower extremity artery thrombosis has the risk of gangrene, renal artery thrombosis may lead to uremia, fundic artery thrombosis increases the risk of blindness, and lower extremity deep vein thrombosis can induce pulmonary embolism (sudden death).
Anti-thrombosis is a big topic in medicine, there are many medical methods to prevent thrombosis, and tomatoes in the daily diet can help prevent thrombosis, this important knowledge, I hope you all know: one study found that a serving of tomato juice can reduce blood viscosity by 70% (anti-thrombotic effect), and this effect of reducing blood viscosity can be maintained for 18 hours; there are also studies It was found that the yellow-green colloid around the tomato seeds has the effect of reducing platelet agglutination and preventing thrombosis, and every four tomatoes in the colloid can reduce the platelet activity by 72%.
