It depends: If you are taking coumadin/warfarin for your blood clots, the ability to maintain the drug within the therapeutic window can be affected by the foods you eat. This is true of green leafy vegetables such a spinach. To avoid these swings in your drug level while still eating these vegetables, some nutritionists recommend eating a consistent amount of them on a daily basis.
