3. DVT Is Preventable
A number of environmental, genetic, and lifestyle factors affect the risk of developing DVT. Luckily there are a number of preventive measures that you can take to reduce the risk of DVT.
If you are leading an inactive lifestyle and there isn’t enough motivation to get you moving, what you can do easily is make sure that you get up every hour, and just walk around for a minute. You can also make a habit of drinking water every hour and keep the water away from your arm’s reach so you have to get up to get a glass of water.
Even if that isn’t affordable, you should stretch your legs, rotate your ankles, or raise and lower your feet to engage your muscles. When your muscles squeeze, the blood flow in the veins of your leg is increased. You can also find natural food items that help improve your blood flow.
