Injuries and accidents, including serious falls, paralysis, spinal cord injuries, severe burns, and broken bones, cause mobility problems. Over time, there will be poor blood flow in the veins, increasing the risk of a blood clot or deep vein thrombosis(DVT).
What Drinks Can Help Reduce Risk?
Water
Dehydration can make your blood thicker and increase the risk of blood clots. For this reason, you may want to stay hydrated at all times. I advise you to drink at least six glasses of water daily.
Red Wine or Grape Juice
Red wine and grape juice are excellent sources of polyphenols, antioxidants that prevent platelet clumping, reducing the risk of a blood clot. A big piece of advice? Take these drinks in moderation.
