Nature's Blood Thinner
Loma Linda University researchers found that drinking five or more 8-ounce glasses of water daily cut stroke risk by 53% compared with those who drank fewer than three glasses. Water helps to thin the blood, which in turn makes it less likely to form clots, explains Jackie Chan, Dr.P.H., the lead study author.
Don't chug your extra H2O all at once. "You need to drink water throughout the day to keep your blood thin, starting with a glass or two in the morning," adds Dr. Chan.
