2. Cayenne Pepper
Cayenne pepper is a great way to season food with the right amount of spice. You can add as much or as little as you like to have a flavored meal that’s exactly to your taste. As well as thinning your blood, it is also a powerful antioxidant that keeps free radicals out of the body and promotes proper brain function. This natural blood thinner also has high levels of betacarotene (vitamin A) and can prevent allergies by breaking up the mucus that causes congestion when feeling sneezy. In addition, it has anti-inflammatory properties that reduce nerve and joint pain, such as the kind you can experience in rheumatoid arthritis.
