If a person spends a lot of time in a sitting position while working or playing on a computer, then the vessels begin to become compressed, the blood flow slows down, which means that the risk of blood clots increases.
The problem also concerns people who travel a lot and are forced to spend a lot of time on planes.
Professor Dmitry Berezovsky told Izvestia about this.
He also noted that sitting in one position for a long time is dangerous for those who have a hereditary predisposition to thrombosis.
It is important to remember about preventive measures.
As the specialist explained, in such a case you need to reduce the amount of coffee and exercise more.
It is advisable to do a short 5-minute exercise every hour.
In addition, you need to walk more and add folic acid to your diet, which can be found in greens (dill, parsley).
