Why does blood thicken after 50 and what does it hide?
With age, blood tends to become more viscous. There are several reasons for this phenomenon:
Not enough water in the body – over the years, the feeling of thirst weakens, we drink less and the blood thickens.
Slow metabolism : the liver and kidneys no longer function as actively as they did at age 20.
Increased cholesterol and sugar : an unbalanced diet turns the blood into “syrup”.
Hormonal changes — especially in women after menopause.
What are the risks?
Blood clots are the most dangerous complication that can lead to a stroke or heart attack.
Fluctuations in blood pressure : Thicker blood circulates more slowly, putting pressure on the heart.
Varicose veins and edema – blood stagnates, legs feel heavy and swollen in the evening.
