This blog explores the connection between spaceflight and blood clots, highlighting key risk factors such as prolonged immobility, dehydration, and genetic predisposition. By learning from astronauts' experiences, readers can take proactive steps—like staying active, hydrated, and wearing compression stockings—to protect their vein health and reduce the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE).
