Preventing DVT Starts with A-C-T-I-V-I-T-Y 

Although you may not have DVT now, that doesn't mean you're completely in the clear. It's important to remain diligent. Keep risks at bay by following a healthy lifestyle. 

Those individuals who have recently undergone surgery should stay aware. Statistics have shown that certain procedures can increase the risk of DVT following the operation. Talk to the doctor about the dangers and learn how to reduce the chances of developing a blood clot. A physician might recommend moving around as much as possible during recovery or wearing compression stockings. 

Take frequent walks. Exercise. Travel. Dance. Anything that gets your body moving helps decrease the risk of DVT. 

Getting up and walking around every couple of hours or so reduces your risk. Even if you're supposed to sit at your job (which many people do), you still can exercise your muscles. Raise and lower your heels constantly. Keep everything moving.
