Legs: good massage, good movement

More you seek the muscles of your legs, better compression of the veins and the rise of blood to the heart may occur. You limit and the phenomena of stagnation but also water retention and toxins in the lower limbs.

Stretch your legs regularly

Nothing worse than sitting at a computer several hours, especially if one crosses the knee. Give yourself regular breaks to go walking. Conversely, if you stay up all day, take the time to do some flexion of the knees, legs apart and torso upright. 

You can also try to squat several times, holding out his arms in front of you for balance.

Play with a tennis ball

When sitting, place a tennis ball between your knees and tighten as much as possible. In this way, the contraction of your muscles will reactivate your bloodstream. You can also take off your shoes and roll it under your arch.

Adopt Chinese self-massage (or do-in)

Hands "by Spoon" (fingers together and palms dug), rhythmically tap the outer surfaces of your legs up and down then up on the inside. Repeat six to twelve times. Palms flat this time, perform linear friction on the same trips due to go back every 2 seconds for 20 to 30 seconds. 

This exercise is performed in a sitting position, legs spread wide apart, on a floor mat or bed. For maximum effectiveness, these self massage should be performed one to three times daily, preferably with a specific treatment legs.

Make a few moves before I sleep

To promote venous return, lie down and keep your feet on the wall a few minutes. Then move to pedal movement and flexion and extension of the feet and toes.

Walk as often as possible

At each step, the contractions of the calf and the pressures on the arch promote the return of blood to the heart. But be careful, walking does not become effective until the 31st meter traveled without stopping. It is the minimum distance to stimulate lymphatic and blood circulations. Prior to each stop, toxins and wastes accumulate and create a mini-bottling. 

Suffice to say that an afternoon of shopping has nothing to do with walking. The ideal? Practice 20 to 30 minutes of walking a day of trafficking by laying out the tail first.

Legs? Opt for good sports

Phlebologists recommend to choose an activity that is going to work the muscles of the legs smoothly without traumatizing the delicate veins. So let the bike, swimming, water aerobics. 

The movements in water are particularly effective because not only your legs no longer bear the weight of your body but also the water exerts pressure on the cardiovascular benefit. Avoid cons by sports such as tennis, ball games or jogging which cause to brutal beatings.
