If you have atrial fibrillation (irregular heart beat) or another condition treated with an anticoagulant like Coumadin (warfarin), be on the alert for vegetables with vitamin K.
This vitamin can reduce the drug's effectiveness. Veggies with vitamin K include Brussels sprouts, cabbage, collard greens, kale, mustard greens, spinach, and turnip greens. If you eat these foods, keep the amount you eat about the same from day to day. If you want to add any of these foods to your diet, talk to your doctor first. You may be able to introduce small amounts slowly.
