Vitamin E hits blood clots in women

Regular doses of vitamin E may reduce the risk of life-threatening blood clots in women,researchers reported recently.But they cautioned that more research is needed to confirm the link in the prevention of the clots,known as venous thromboembolism,and said patients should not stop taking prescribed blood thinners."The data indicated that,in general,women taking vitamin E were 21% less likely to suffer a blood clot," the American Heart Association,which published the finding in its journal Circulation ,said in a statement.

Hot Tips:

To prevent an egg from cracking when it's placed in boiling water,pierce the broader end about 1/4th inch deep with a sharp needle. A quick way to stuff hard-boiled eggs is to place the stuffing in a pastry bag and squeeze away. If you need eggs at room temperature and have forgotten to remove them from the refrigerator,put them in a bowl of warm water for 10 minutes. A small funnel is a handy tool to separate egg whites.Carefully open the egg over the funnel,the white will run through and the yolk will remain.
