A Simple Pill Could
Lower Traveler's Risk of Blood Clots on Long Flights; Wobenzym®N May
Ease Risk of Deep Vein Thrombosis
PHOENIX, July 2 /PRNewswire/ via NewsEdge Corporation -
"International
Carriers Address New Threat: Coach Class Syndrome" was the Wednesday,
June 27, 2001 headline in the Wall Street Journal. It's just one of dozens
of stories being reported about passengers concerned about DVT, deep vein
thrombosis. DVT occurs when blood clots deep in the tissues of the calves
or groin travel to other parts of the body. DVT is dangerous because when
the blood clot travels to a person's lungs, it can lead to death. Now,
Naturally Vitamins, a Phoenix Arizona based nutraceutical company, is
offering two ways to help people lower their risk for this problem. The
first is the use of Wobenzym in the days before the
flight. The second is some simple exercises demonstrated in a free brochure.
Wobenzym: Systemic
enzymes like the ones in Wobenzym, are necessary for the regeneration
of cells and the health and functionality of all organs and tissues. As
people age, enzymes are lost and should be replaced. More than 150 clinical
studies have shown Wobenzym helps to keep the body running smoothly by
enhancing circulation and breaking down harmful proteins that can lead
to stiffness, swelling and joint discomfort. It's this circulation enhancement
that may lessen the risk of DVT for long haul airline passengers.
Brochure: A recent
study in the British Medical Journal recommends that
during flight, passengers stretch or flex the calf muscles while seated,
drink plenty of water and avoid alcohol and caffeine that can cause dehydration.
Naturally Vitamins is taking the lead in passenger education by publishing
a free brochure demonstrating simple exercises. The brochure features
Dr. William Wong, a naturopath, a PhD exercise physiologist, and a
certified sports medicine trainer.
