This is a legitimate question. While its true the goal is to keep your greens consistent (not keep them down) there is and should be a concern about how many greens you are eating. Most people sont understand this problem because almost no one besides and handful of people are eating 6 servings of greens a day. First of all...good for you on your green consumption. I too eat a lot of greens when i got my mechanical valve i was on a crazy high dose of wafarin to offset the green consumption...20mg a day. To keep my blood in range, that is the amount of meds i had to consume. I had all sorts of bleeding problems. It was a nightmare. After 2 years of experimenting and a hysterectomy and another surgery to fix a bleed, i finally reached homeostasis.i no longer eat super duper rich vit K greens. No swiss chard, no more Kale. They mess with my blood too much. I still eat spinach (much lower in vit k than kale). I eat a huge salad everday. I still eat broccoli and pretty much all other veetables. I know alot about which veggies are high in vit K and which are not. There are a lot of veggies that are low in vit K, like cabbages. I dont eat green smoothies cause i cannot commit to having one every single day. I have finally found balance with wRfarin and greens.
One of the big problems with consuming a lot of greens is there are times its hard to eat the same amount of greens because you dont have access to them while traveling etc. You will figure it out! Best wishes to you!
