Cleo, as you eat a lot of veggies, make sure none of them have very much vitamin k
(such as kale, collard greens, broccoli, spinach, mustard greens, turnip greens, beet greens, and brussel sprouts) as K is the major factor in blood clotting
Also watch out for and certain vegetable oils (soybean, canola, cottonseed, and olive) as these increase blood clotting...though the benefits of olive oil might outweigh the risk of clotting
Who knows you may have Factor V Leiden, a hereditary disease which causes your blood to coagulate more frequently and more quickly than normal.
