4. Eat Omega 3 Fatty Acids
No, Omega 3 fatty acids aren’t some super-secret chemicals that can miraculously prevent DVT. Omega 3 fatty acids are found primarily in fish and are credited to decrease your cholesterol levels along with decreasing the chances of your blood clotting in the legs.
A large-scale study conducted in 2014 in Sweden showed that the people who ate less or no fish and supplemented little or no fish oil at all had a 48% higher chance of developing deep vein thrombosis than the people who ate fish three or more time a week and took fish oil capsules.
Fish like salmon, lake trout, tuna, mackerel, and anchovies are healthy for you and you should include fish in your diet two to three times a week. Of course, many fish are also linked to a number of other health benefits which makes eating fish even more rewarding.
