Is Stopping Intake Of Omega 6 And Omega 3 Dense Food A Week Before Surgery Right Thing?
I am having surgery a week from Monday. I was told to stop taking fish oil and flax seed as they are blood thinners - is this because of the Omega-6 and Omega-3 properties of these foods? If so, should I also stay away from hemp protein powder or other Omega-6 and Omega-3 dense foods?
Hi welcome to hcm.. yes you should stop all those products containing omega 3 and 6..drink 3-4litres of water..take foods containing high dietary fibre..take fruits and vegetable salads..consult your surgeon for further queries. Thankyou.
