According to the Daily Express, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) occurs when a blood clot (thrombosis) develops in one or more deep veins of the body, usually in the legs.
The site said this condition becomes fatal if the clot ruptures and travels through the bloodstream. As with all medical conditions, prevention is better than cure, especially for high-risk patients.
Researchers have warned that there are foods that contribute to the buildup of plaque in the arteries that can also expose the body to other diseases through inflammation and these infections can, over time, begin to interfere with blood clotting mechanisms in the body. and pave the way for deep vein thrombosis.
According to WebMD, certain foods can cause long-term inflammation and can lead to serious illnesses in the body, which in turn can “prevent the blood from moving properly” or prevent it from clotting, as the health website explains, and essentially , the same foods that cause plaque buildup in blood vessels can increase the risk of DVT.
Therefore, WebMD experts advise anyone wishing to reduce the risk of DVT to “stay away from”
Processed foods, such as white bread, white rice, prepackaged foods, fast foods, pastries, cookies, and French fries
Soft drinks and other sugary drinks
– sweets
Trans fats, such as margarine
Red and processed meat
For red and processed meat and trans fats, some research has found that the risk is greater for women than for men, and this is the result of a study published in the American Journal of Epidemiology, which explained: “For the Intake of red and processed meat and trans fatty acids, no association in women. However, a significant positive association was found in men. “
The link between sweeteners and metabolic heart disorders was also explored in a study published in the journal Thrombosis and Thrombolysis.
In their report, the researchers wrote: “Several studies have shown that fructose increases the risk of Cardiovascular disease By promoting atherosclerosis, more recently, a possible role of fructose in cardiovascular thrombosis has been suggested, but with controversial results.
In fact, research indicates that a high level of glucose not only represents an opportunity for blood clots to form, but also reduces the body’s ability to naturally dissolve these clots, and processed foods act similarly due to their high salt, putting stress on the heart AND diets high in sodium can cause problems with blood flow and clotting.
