Announcing eatTHISdiet for Coumadin(r) (Generic Name: Warfarin) Users
Linden, VA, July 11, 2006 --(PR.com)-- The third version of eatTHISdiet, the popular and free online six-week diet plan, has been added to the Dr. Gourmet website (www.drgourmet.com). Created especially for Coumadin(r) users, the plan provides six weeks of meal plans, recipes, and shopping lists so that the Coumadin user can eat a healthy diet while effectively managing their intake of Vitamin K, which can reduce Coumadin's effectiveness. Many green leafy vegetables contain Vitamin K, which makes it especially difficult to know what Coumadin patients are allowed to eat. eatTHISdiet for Coumadin Users takes the guesswork out of a healthy diet for those on Coumadin.
In addition, every recipe of the hundreds found on the Dr. Gourmet website now has information about its suitability for those who are on Coumadin. Coumadin is an anticoagulant taken by millions of Americans to treat blood clots. These clots may be in the legs or lungs or may be associated with an irregular heartbeat (known as "atrial fibrillation") or heart-valve replacement. Coumadin can also be prescribed after a heart attack to reduce the risk of death, stroke, blood clots, and subsequent heart attacks.
