Tips To Ease Your Heavy Legs

Do you feel that your legs are aching, swollen, tired..?

Here are some tips to ease them:

1)Exercise: swimming, walking, riding a bike.. these are activities that would help the circulation in your leg veins. Take the stairs, not the lift or the escalator.

2)Are you traveling? If you take the plane, get up to walk a little bit. Insufficient leg muscle movement causes the blood to accumulate in your leg veins.

3)Don't stay too long in the sun, avoid waxing: the heat causes the veins to enlarge and blood to pool in your legs.

4)Drink at least 1.5 liters of water per day: it will help the drainage of the tissues

5)Wear ample clothings: forget the garments that tighten your legs, for it restricts blood flow to your legs.

6)Don't stand or sit too long, because these positions contribute to the stagnation of the blood

7)Check your weight: being overweight makes the blood flow to your legs more difficult.

8)Take cold showers: putting your legs under fresh water stimulates the circulation.

9)Massage your legs from your ankle up to your knee.

10) Sleep with your feet elevated (your feet should be above the level of the heart): put a pillow under your legs to ease the tension.

These are some simple tips that you can apply in your everyday life. There are other ways to treat swollen legs and feet like using essential oil massage, cream, phytotherapy, bio-resonance card .. These other measures will be discussed in another post.

If you feel that your legs are still aching and that these measures are insufficient, you should talk to your GP.
