3. Blood clots can develop in the lower leg during extended travel by air or motor vehicle. How often should you move around to keep your circulation normal?
You didn't answer this question.
You answered
The correct answer is
If you can, walk up and down the aisle of the plane. If traveling by bus or train, make the same effort. If traveling by car, stop and walk around every hour or so, the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute says. While seated, you can move your legs and stretch and flex your feet, which improves blood flow in your calves. Movement prevents blood from pooling. Wearing loose, comfortable clothing and drinking plenty of fluids can also reduce the risk of developing a blood clot.
A.
Every 15 minutes
B.
Every 30 minutes
C.
Every hour
D.
Every two hours
