âWhat we eat determines the quality of our blood, which has a direct effect on our blood vessels and the heart, says nutritionist and yoga instructor, Christa Orecchio. Blood vessels carry oxygen-rich blood, nutrients, minerals and vitamins to all areas and organs in the body.
Having a Low MPV indicates that the platelet count in your blood is lower than normal and that you are in danger of suffering more blood loss in case you get injured. Besides this, a low MPV is also considered a symptom of many other diseases and disorders.
Whether or not you experience symptoms of a low platelet count depends on your platelet count. Mild cases, such as when a low platelet count is caused by pregnancy, usually donât cause any symptoms. More severe cases may cause uncontrollable bleeding, which requires immediate medical attention. If you have a low platelet count, you may experience: red, purple, or brown bruises, which are called âpurpuraâ.
