How to Prevent Blood Clots

Make Diet Changes

Foods containing saturated fats may cause plaque to build up in your blood vessels, which subsequently increases the risk of blood clots and heart disease. Therefore, make sure to limit consumption of red meat, fast food, full-fat dairy or similar products. Also read the labels and go for products with the least amount of sodium or sugar as these ingredients would also increase the risk. Garlic is a good option to prevent blood clot as it may break up harmful platelet buildup in the blood. You may eat crushed cloves or oven-roast them to get the benefits. [4]
