When I have time off, I love to travel the world to learn about different cultures and eat tasty vegan meals. Will you be traveling this summer? Well, here’s a useful health tip for you! To help prevent blood clots during long trips, try to move around and walk every two to three hours and stretch whenever possible. On planes or trains, simple seated exercises like tightening and relaxing leg muscles, raising your heels while your toes remain on the floor and raising your toes while your heels stay on the floor, or pulling your knees toward your chest with your arms wrapped around your lower legs and staying in that position for 15 seconds can improve circulation. Wear loose clothing, stay hydrated, avoid alcohol, and limit long periods of sleep to also reduce your risk of developing a blood clot while seated. For people with additional risk factors, doctors may recommend compression socks or medication, but aspirin should only be taken if advised by a healthcare provider.

“I just waved at someone who wasn’t waving at me.”
“Oh! Why did you do that?”
“I panicked. My arm committed before my brain did.”
