The Federal Association for Health Consultancy warned that sitting long while traveling increases the risk of blood clotting in the legs. The lack of movement for a long time causes blood clotting in the legs and veins clogging, noting that some blood clots may reach the lung causing a life-threatening lung clot.
This risk particularly threatens heart and varicose patients, people who generally develop blood clotting, as well as people who have had a stroke or a stroke in the lung.
These people should consult a doctor before traveling by plane or before long trips by car, to see if it is necessary to wear compression stockings or take certain injections.
To prevent blood clotting during travel, you should be promoted from time to time, walking to move the blood in the legs, taking into account wide and loose clothing, as well as drinking plenty of fluids, such as water, herbal tea and diluted juices.
