ITP – Low Blood Platelets and the Food You Eat

Have you ever wondered if the food that you are eating could be contributing to your Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura and your low blood platelets?

Stop wondering! It most definitely could, because as far as your body is concerned, not all foods are created equal when it comes to building up your low blood platelets and having optimum health.

There are several things going on when it comes to food causing your ITP and low blood platelets.

How can food hurt us? Food is supposed to be good for us? Right? Well…not all food is the same.

We all know that we need food to feed our bodies and to survive, but by eating the wrong foods they can actually be causing us harm, sometimes it is better to have no food at all than food that is toxic to us.

Bad foods cause free radicals to be produced in our system. The body’s immune system kicks in to defend the attackers and inflammation sets in. Excessive and chronic inflammation helps break down the immune system and the body acts by producing an immune system disorder such as ITP and low blood platelets.

So…what is wrong food?
