If you’re prone to minor nosebleeds and you’re otherwise in good health, you may need to boost your bioflavonoids. Eat at least one citrus fruit a day, and be sure to include the white rubbery layer under the peel. That’s the “pith,” and it’s rich in healthful bioflavonoids.
In addition, add lots of leafy greens to your diet. They’re rich in vitamin K, needed for the production of prothrombin, which is necessary for blood clotting. Caution: If you take anticlotting medication, greens such as spinach, kale, mustard and collard can counteract the effects of the medicine. Check with your doctor.
