mustard greens + warfarin
Mustard greens are a dark leafy green that is very high in vitamin K1, the nutrient warfarin works against. Because warfarin blocks the recycling of vitamin K needed to make clotting factors, large or fluctuating intake of mustard greens can blunt warfarin's effect and lower your INR, while abruptly stopping a long-standing habit can push it up.

collard greens + warfarin
Collard greens are one of the most vitamin-K-dense vegetables in the diet. Because warfarin works by blocking vitamin K, sudden increases or decreases in how much you eat can push your INR out of its therapeutic range. The goal is consistency, not avoidance.
