Take care of your legs
12
Vein disease can be prevented, through the adoption of simple but essential cares.
You need to:
- Increase water ingestion
- Lose and/or keep weight (when there is no weight excess)
- Physical exercise: walking, biking or swimming are good activities
- Avoid standing up for too long or sat down without moving your legs
- Avoid crossing your legs because it increases the tension of the leg that is under the other
- Avoid dressing too tight clothes
- Use medium heels (not too high, not too low)
- Tone your legs daily, with the help of a cold bath and an appropriate gel
- Rest your legs at a little elevated level
- Avoid extended sun exposure
- Avoid smoking because it harms the blood flood

Thank you for reminding us about our legs. Many people don’t realize that legs carry most off our weight throughout our lives. I also don’t believe in high heal shoes, I think that was bad invention for our legs, but hey sometimes you have to look good. Anna
Yes they look real nice but unfortunately I’m not able to wear them since I have back problems, but sometimes I wish I could.
What a great post, something I need to be reminded of more often. Being a massage therapist I find that I do a lot of standing and should incorporate more exercise. Thanks!
