Is there any more evidence of this condition and how widesprade this issue has been in last 2-3 years.
Tomato juice reduces DVT risk as it reduces platelet aggregation. http://news.scotsman.com/topics.cfm?tid=633&id=865842006 It can reduce DVT risk by up to 70%. 4 ounces of pure tomato juice is needed or 6 tomatoes. Wearing compression stockings also helps. You can also get checked by your doctor to see if you have a clotting disorder which may raise your risk of DVT. Smoking, diabetes, recent surgery and overweight are also major risk factors for DVT. Drinking 6 to 8 glasses of water a day is also very helpful in preventing DVT, since dehydration increases the risk of clots.
The risk of DVT in healthy people is 1 in 6000. I use the computer for several hours (12+) a day and I admit I slack off on the exercise, but I try to remember to wiggle my toes, move my feet around and get up on my tiptoes repeatedly every hour or two to keep the blood moving. Although DVT is rare, you wouldn't want to get it since it causes permanent damage to the valves in your veins, thus increasing markedly the risk of further DVTs.
Take a break every hour like the author said and drink that tomato juice! (and wear compression stockings after consultation with your physician if you are in a high risk group such as a diabetic or obese)
