Enjoy Selena's Favorite Snack!
Selena Gomez turned 21 on July 22nd. Ms. Gomez makes no secret of her
love of Mexican food. She is Mexican-American and often celebrates birthdays,
red carpet events and other holidays with some type of Mexican treat.
One of her favorite foods not only tastes great, it can also help those of
you out there who travel on planes or in cars for hours at a time,
the favorite food: Salsa!
That's right- Sitting on a plane or sitting in an office at a desk for hours
at a time increases your risk of developing blood clots.
And if you're a World traveler or just someone who has to sit for hrs.
at a time, then add some salsa to your daily menu.
Why salsa?
It's really any kind of tomato-based food that helps keep blood flowing,
but salsa is a favorite for a lot of people. Give credit to the powerful
antioxidant in tomatoes called Lycopene, and it's ability to stop blood
platelets from becoming sticky, the first step in clot formation.
So. if you have to endure long bus, car or airplane rides, remember to
eat more ketchup (organic), tomato sauce, salsa or have Whoopi Goldberg's
favorite drink- a V8 drink.
And here are some more tips to keeping the blood clots at bay,
* If you do eat tomato sauce, don't overdo the meatballs, spaghetti
and Italian bread. High fat foods also cause blood clots and no
amount of tomatoes will undo the damage.
* Not a fan of tomatoes?
Eat kiwi, a piece of dark chocolate, or drink some grape
juice or drink more water.
* Stand up more. If you sit for long hours, stand up every 60 mins.
and walk around. This may be difficult on a plane, but you can
sit there and rotate your ankles and flex your knees.
There you have it, a birthday gift from Selena Gomez,
a gift that can help save your life.
Good Luck!
