Listen to your body: Avoid tobacco smoke, a source of cadmium. Sugar, salt, fat, stress and prolonged immobility increase risk of clots. Nattokinase breaks down fibrin. It comes from natto, fermented soy beans. It could be used to prevent clots. A healthy vegetarian diet has plenty of fresh vegetables and fruit and slow carbs like quinoa and soaked and sprouted beans. Add taurine, b-12, zinc and vit a ;d.

Yes: Vegetarianism offers the moral high ground. Please get with your physician and/or an evidence-based dietiican and ask about supplements or it's likely that you'll end up sick from it. Supplement properly, and it is as healthy as any other. Avoid very sugary, very salty, and very greasy stuff regardless.
