12Lifestyle Changes
Dehydration would thicken the blood and increase the risk of a pulmonary embolism. Thus, it is important to drink a lot of fluids daily. Consume nattokinase-rich foods, such as tempeh, shrimp paste, black beans, or natto. They contain a special enzyme that would dissolve fibrin and prevent the forming of blood clots. Spend around 30 to 60 minutes per day to do exercises to increase blood flow as well. Making these simple lifestyle changes can significantly improve the life quality and prevent a pulmonary embolism. [12]
