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.
A normal platelet count in a healthy person ranges from 150,000 to 450,000 platelets per microlitre of blood. When the count is below 150,000 per microlitre, it is considered a low platelet count. There are three possible causes of low platelet count: Presence of platelets in the spleen due to cancer or severe liver diseases. This causes a decrease in the number of platelets in circulation.
