What Should I Do For Healthy Legs ?

A healthy leg means a healthy person. What should be considered to protect our leg health ? I'll share what you need to know about leg health in this article.

From the day we were born, the legs we stepped on are an engineering marvel with more than 60 bones.

From birth to death, a healthy person takes 9000 steps a day on average and travels 150000 kilometers. This distance corresponds to circling the Earth approximately 4 times.

We need to show the importance to our legs that carry us throughout our lives. Therefore, I have some suggestions for you.

Gaining too much weight is dangerous for leg health

Obesity is a condition closely associated with ostearthritis (calcification). Usually, it gives the first signs of our knees and hips. At the same time, being overweight causes the development of varicose veins. Most of these vessels actually appear in the form of curved – shaped vessels that are visible from the surface of the skin. This condition, which is not life-threatening, often worsens gradually over time. In particular, a significant increase in varicose veins is observed during pregnancy, when hormonal changes are highest.

Healthy eating is crucial to our leg health

They actually act as a second heart because they pump blood in your leg veins, like the heart. Most of the time we don't show our legs the care we show our hearts.

 However, we can make a start by paying attention to nutrition. Staying away from fatty foods, increasing the fiber ratio in foods can be counted among these. 

Especially, as a support for the leg veins, pineapple, banana, orange, lemon is sufficient to consume.

Walking is very beneficial for leg health

Exercise is quite important for a healthy leg. Through walking exercise, the calf muscles, which are almost wrapped around the veins, contract and relax so that the blood circulation is healthy

 By mediating the burning of fats, they also provide control of the ideal weight.

We should massage our legs with cold water

Daily, massage your legs with cold water, provides a healthier circulation of the leg toplardamar. Most professional athletes try to reduce edema and pain in their legs due to intense exercise by dipping their legs in icy water after long runs to achieve the similar effect. 

Varicose veins should be worn on journeys.

My advice to frequent and long-term travelers is that they wear slightly pressurized varicose veins socks, as they will remain especially immobile during the trip. 

They are available in a hygenic and comfortable structure with special pressure for travel. 

Do regular leg exercises

Stretching the legs regularly is a condition that even those who exercise don't. Therefore, it is important to focus on our hip flexors, calf muscles and Achilles tendon regions.

 It is important to exercise regularly to cover these areas. As a philosophy of Life, Yoga is also very useful. A detailed article on this topic (write suggestions for heir) is available in the blog.

Under the table, Take Off Your Shoes and exercise

High heels have negative effects on leg health. If you are wearing heels that are more than 5 centimetres high, I suggest you take off your shoes and move your foot up and down (with your big toe pointing to you and the ground) from the ankle while you are under the table at the first opportunity. With this exercise, your muscles in the calf region will start to contract and relax, making the flow in your veins healthy.
