How to prevent blood clots by #160617 13 year 1 of 1 (100%)
As a vascular surgeon for thirty years i also suggest adequate hydration to keep blood at a normal viscosity-thickness. Sedentary lifestyles also promote decreased return of blood from the legs and a tendency over time to clotting. Think of sitting too long in a car or on an airplane. We all should get up and take a walk every two hours. The major danger from blood clots is pulmonary embolism which means they travel from where they originate to the lungs and block the flow of blood from the heart causing it to dilate and stop i. E. Death/ such clots can come from the pelvis or lower abdomen but only rarely from the arms where many patients have clots after having ivs placed. We need to keep our leg circulation going by walking or other exercise. The flow of blood from the legs to the heart is conducted by your veins. Using compression stockings prevents clots. Clots also occur with obesity. We can take a baby aspirin and this affects the blood clotting occurrence. Naturally occuring blood thinners also are in plants and herbs such as garlic and onions. A host of over the counter medications can affect blood clotting and your pharmacist should let you know about such interactions.
