Al-Marsad newspaper: Researchers have warned that there are foods that contribute to the accumulation of plaque in the arteries that may also expose the body to other diseases through inflammation. These infections can, over time, begin to interfere with the body’s blood-clotting mechanisms and pave the way for deep vein thrombosis.
Some foods can cause long-term inflammation and may lead to serious illness in the body. This, in turn, may “prevent the blood from moving properly,” or prevent its ability to clot, the health website explains.
5 foods
The experts at WebMD advise anyone wanting to reduce their risk of DVT to “stay away from”:
Refined/processed foods, such as white bread, white rice, prepackaged foods, fast food, pastries, biscuits, 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.
This was the result of one study published in the American Journal of Epidemiology, which explained: “For intake of red and processed meat and trans fatty acids, no association was found in women. However, in men a significant positive association was found.”
The link between sweeteners and heart metabolic disorders was also explored in a study published in the journal Thrombosis and Thrombolysis.
