Let’s talk about eating leafy green vegetables. During Wintertime is when leafy greens like chard are in season. So it’s a great time to get them at your local farmer’s market. I’m a big proponent of eating local, fresh and seasonal produce. They’re easy to prepare either alone or throwing them in a stew and they are full of vitamins and anti-oxidants. So get out there and eat your greens. Thanks for watching SavantMD.

Today’s health tip is on the dietary supplement Vitamin E. People take Vitamin E for many different reasons which may include preventing heart disease, cancer, or dementia. In November 2010, a study was published in the British Medical Journal which reviewed 9 different trials on Vitamin E and its effects on stroke. Combining all the studies together, 59,357 patients received Vitamin E. The investigators concluded that even though Vit E may decrease some risk of ischemic (clotting) strokes, it may also increase your risk of hemorrhagic (bleeding) stroke. Vitamin E decreases platelet clotting and has blood thinning effects. Taking vitamin E on a daily basis may be with more risk than benefit, and should be discussed with your healthcare provider.

This is Dr. Regina Sih for SavantMD wishing you to stay active and be well!
