Kiwi Fruit

[Warrick]

A friend was telling me about how his Nan was told to eat 2 kiwi fruit a day instead of being put on aspirin, he reckoned it stopped your blood clotting and lowered the fat in your blood, I told him sounds like horse doo doo to me but it appears he was right, now I'll have to tell him he was right...

Well nothing wrong with being wrong for the right reasons.

And they're delicious

Keep in mind that Kiwi has a fair amount of Vitamin K in it, approximately 27.8 micrograms per Kiwi (according to the U.S.D.A.), so if you start eating a lot of them and you notice an INR drop, it's probably that. And yes there are delicious, my youngest son and I can eat bowls of them by ourselves.

I have been eating KIwi fruit more fruits, vegetables and salads. So far I have lost 5 pounds. My Coumadin dosage was 5 MG per day to stay in my INR Range of 1.8-2.2.
Twice a week now I take 7.5 mg of Coumadin to maintain my proper INR Range.
