What is the best way to combat deep vein thrombosis?

What is the best way to help prevent me from getting deep vein thrombosis or blood clots in the legs when I get older?

I do not know what age you are. Likewise you state when I get older as in any specific age? Perhaps 60, so how many years are we taking about? Likewise do you have any health problems like high Cholesterol? Do you smoke? Are you over weight? The other person stated taking aspirin, but if you are allergic to it, say no more. If you take it over a prolonged 30 years, say no more. If you take aspirin you are risking other side affects like dying from a serious hemorrhage, so without more information, I cannot answer this question. Good Luck

81 mg aspirin every day, and avoid sitting or staying in the same position for prolonged periods of time... like if you're making a road trip somewhere, get out every hour or so to stretch and move around. These are the best things to do!
