Traveling and circulation

I happened to pick up the July 3 copy of the Women's World magazine. They have an article called Have a healthy vacation. I have been having trouble with swelling in my legs so I found this interesting.

Boost your circulation by drinking tomato juice. Research shows drinking 8 oz of tomato juice daily starting 3 weeks before a plane or car trip can trigger a 30% drop in your risk of hazardous blood clots, which as many as 10% of travelers experience after sitting for hours. Lycopene, the pigment that gives tomato juice it's red color also stops blood platelets from becoming sticky - and that's the first step in clot formation explains Allan Magaziner, DO author of the all Natural Cardio Cure.
