Medically, arterial thrombosis is a major blood clot in the blood vein which can be very deadly at times due to it actions that are leading in stopping the blood from reaching important organs of the body. -Amb.

Arteries are blood vessels that carry blood from the heart to the rest of the body through the heart muscle or blood vein.
To avoid arterial thrombosis, it’s essential to adopt a healthy lifestyle and take preventative measures.
Here are some recommendations to follow and remain healthy even at your old age.
Exercise regularly: Engaging in active sports activity helps improve blood flow and reduces the risk of developing blood clots. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise most days of the week.
Maintain a healthy weight: Excess weight puts strain on your circulatory system and increases the risk of arterial thrombosis. Follow a nutritious diet, focus on portion control, and maintain a healthy weight range.
Quit smoking: Smoking damages the blood vessels and raises the risk of developing arterial thrombosis. Seek professional help if you need assistance in quitting smoking.
Eat a balanced diet: Consume a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats. Limit your intake of saturated fats, trans fats, cholesterol, and sodium.
Control your blood pressure: High blood pressure can damage blood vessels and increase the risk of thrombosis.
Monitor your blood pressure regularly and adopt healthy habits like reducing salt intake, exercising, and managing stress.
Manage diabetes: If you have diabetes, control your blood sugar levels to prevent complications that can lead to arterial thrombosis.
Follow your healthcare provider’s advice, take medications as prescribed, and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Stay hydrated: Proper hydration helps maintain optimal blood thickness. Aim to drink enough water throughout the day.
Manage stress: Chronic stress can increase the risk of arterial thrombosis. Implement stress management techniques like regular exercise, meditation, deep breathing exercises, and engaging in hobbies.
Follow medication instructions: If you’re on medications to manage conditions like high blood pressure or diabetes, take them as directed and follow up with your healthcare provider regularly.
