March is DVT Awareness Month: What Happened to Heavy D, David Bloom, Serena Williams and, Cathleen Renner Can Happen to You. Sitacise Can Prevent DVT.
According to the Coalition to Prevent DVT, over 2 million Americans get DVT or deep vein thrombosis, which are blood clots usually in the deep veins of the thighs or calves every year like Heavy D, David Bloom, Serena & Cathleen. And just like Heavy D, David & Cathleen 300,000 of them die from this very preventable disease. During DVT Awareness Month, Sitacise is on a mission to educate students, teachers, call center workers, truck drivers, bus drivers and others that idly sit.
Canton, OH, March 12, 2012 --(PR.com)-- Just as Heavy D, David Bloom, Serena and Cathleen found out, if we sit idly for extended periods of time we can develop blood clots in the lower legs or deep vein thrombosis that can result in a pulmonary embolism. A pulmonary embolism happens when the blood clot breaks off and flows through the vein, up to the heart and into the lungs and lodges there and blocks the blood flow and can cause sudden injury or sudden death.
Serena was lucky and hers was caught in time, but Heavy D, David Bloom and Cathleen were not as fortunate and they were killed by DVT. Cathleen was working at her desk when the fatal clot formed according to her doctors. But how did the clot form and what can we do to prevent them from forming?
Unlike arteries, which rely on the heart to force blood through them, the veins transport blood with the help of muscle contractions while we move and walk. Veins also have valves that keep blood from flowing backward and pooling in your arms and legs.
When we are inactive for an extended period our venous circulation slow down, as a result clotting factors in the blood cause the slow moving blood to clump together forming a blood clot or thrombus. This is how Cathleen got DVT from idle sitting.
Sitacise has developed a series of movements and exercises that can be done while we’re sitting that will contract the muscles to help transport the blood through our veins. This will prevent idle sitting that causes DVT and PE.
Sitacise has also been found to help reduce the other risks associated with idle sitting such as diabetes, obesity, cancers, heart disease and some back and leg problems.
Sitacise offers a large range of products at www.sitacise.com, such as the 30 second movement/exercise chart book that has been called the manual for all who have to sit.
Sitacise also has available at www.sitacise.com The Sit & Get Fit DVD’s that show more movements to help prevent & treat DVT and the other diseases.
