Prolonged Sitting: Sitting for long periods, such as during TV marathons or extended mobile use, reduces blood flow in the legs, increasing the risk of clot formation.
Reduced Movement: Extended screen time often means limited movement, which impairs the natural pumping action of leg muscles that helps circulate blood.
Poor Posture: Slouching or staying in one position for too long while using screens can compress veins, further hindering blood flow and contributing to DVT.
Inactivity: Lack of regular breaks and physical activity while engaging with screens decreases overall circulation, raising the risk of clots.
Dehydration: Often, people forget to drink enough water during long screen sessions, which can contribute to blood thickening and increased clot risk.
