Can we lower the risk of developing a blood clot?
Yes! There are some things you can do to avoid blood clots, even though, in some cases, they can happen all of a sudden. According to Medline Plus, here is what you can do to prevent a blood clot from forming:
- Exercising. It is essential to exercise regularly and to have an active lifestyle.
- Move around as often as you can. Even if you have a long flight ahead, try to move every few hours.
- Avoid smoking of any kind.
- Maintain a normal weight.
In the past few years, many people have faced uncontrolled weight gain. Since COVID-19, a lot of employees have adapted to a work-from-home lifestyle where physical activity basically doesn’t exist. Another problem people are facing is the habit of eating unhealthy food. Fast food is still a top choice when it comes to dinner for most Americans.

Very good information. Thank you.
Very informative. Recently pain in my left lower leg. Blood flow to my foot monitored to have a faint blood flow. I exercise as much I can before pain makes it difficult to walk. Continuing to monitor until appt in February. I’m quite concerned.
The article is well written in simple language and easily understandable.
I had CABG (Bypass Surgery) in 2018. I am taking Clopidogrel and Rosuvastatin once a day. I have now added on my own Nattokinase capsules once a day.
Hope it is good. I am a diabetic and taking antidiabetic medicines mild dose. For fatty liver 1grade I am taking Saroglitazar 4mg and Ursodeoxycholic acid once daily.
Any suggestions or remarks.
Good article and easily understandable.
Where are the symptoms you talked about?
Yes I couldn’t find ot either
I had a problem with my heart beat now and then, it feels like my heart has air pumping through, for maybe 15 seconds. I wore monitors 2 times but nothing shows up. A cardiologist told me to cut my coffee consumption down to 3 cups which seems to be working.
My father told me rowing a boat was one of the best excercises, which we did when we were young. I still believe that today. Typical rowing machines are not the same.
Thank you for allowing comments.

What kind of exercise can you get on oxygen and in a wheelchair?
The first time I had blood clots I started with pain in my legs but the pain kept moving up my leg. Eventually I ended up with pain in my groin and they were very concerned about it because it was a deep vein blood clot. I got them from traveling 6 hours and not getting out to walk around. I had a total of 5 blood clots that time. A year later I had knee surgery and about a month later I got pain in my leg and I had 2 that time.
Hi my name is Josie and I have been in cramping pain in my feet and legs could I have blood clots in my legs or could it been a nerve issue, this cramping pain keeps me up almost every night please help.
Thank you
Theraworx works for my leg cramps. It is a foam that you spray on the cramping area and rub it in. Also drink lots of water, especially coconut water helps me. I take magnesium which I get over the counter in gummy form.
