How to avoid having tired and aching legs?
By admin | June 10, 2007
- Avoid anything that restricts the circulation of blood in your legs.
- Do not sit for long periods with your legs crossed.
- Exercise your legs and ankles as much as possible.
- Watch your weight, a very heavy body gives burden to the legs that hold it upright.
- If your job requires standing for a long period of time, shift your weight from one foot to the other time and again. If it is possible, always sit on breaks and relax tired feet.
- High-fibre foods can help prevent constipation that could also contribute to varicose veins. Eat as much fibre-filled foods as possible.
- Find time to exercise your legs even when sitting. It can help in the circulation of blood. A simple leg stretching and feet and ankle rotation can relieve soreness and can revive those veins.
- Leg elevation at the end of the day is highly recommended. Prop your feet on a chair or on the wall at home when you watch TV or for a few minutes before you go to sleep.
