Maintain a Healthy Weight
In overweight or obese people, the excess of fat cells would increase the risk of blood clots. If you have a body mass index or BMI over 30, it is better to try some weight loss methods. The most effective way is to combine a balanced diet and exercise. The key is to limit daily intake of calories. Consult your doctor or dietician to make a proper plan. [2]
Exercise Regularly
Working out and doing exercises regularly have been shown to reduce the risk of blood clots. If you stay immobile or inactive for an extended period, blood would become stagnant. When you move the body, blood may flow better and thus prevent this health issue. You do not have to do intense exercise. Instead, light to moderate activities, such as walking, cycling, or swimming may help. Make sure to spend at least 30 minutes per day for these physical activities to prevent blood clots and improve overall health. [3]
