Five Tips to Help Your Legs
Ways you can improve Life For Your Legs include:
1. Get Up!
Your circulation improves with physical activity, so GET UP! Take a short walk, climb stairs, or make an effort to move around the office and at home. Avoid prolonged sitting or standing as this may increase leg pain and swelling.
2. Cool Off
After a long tiring day, especially during the summer, revitalize your legs with a cool shower or bath. Avoid extended exposure to heat from sunbathing, hot baths, or the sauna as excessive heat will cause your veins to dilate and may induce swelling.
3. Give Your Legs a Lift
To boost your body’s natural circulation, elevate your legs while you are sitting on the sofa or lying in bed at home. At the office, keep a leg rest under your desk.
4. Work Out
Regular exercise always helps keep your body healthy. Some sports are better for improving circulation, such as swimming, walking, biking, gymnastics and yoga. Avoid sports that require sudden, hard stops like tennis, squash, hockey, volleyball and basketball.
5. Manage Your Weight
When you manage your weight through a healthy diet and regular exercise, you are more likely to have few leg symptoms and/or less swelling.
