We put a lot of effort into the care of the skin on our faces, and a bit less into the care of the skin on our bodies. The parts that we are forgetting about are our legs and feet. Especially in winter, we do not take care of our feet, apparently, since we do not see them, they do not bother us. However, when the season of sandals and shorter clothes starts, we start to pay attention to leg care. Springtime is the perfect time to discuss leg care. In continuation, we prepared some tips on how to take care of healthy legs.
1.WALK
We recommend the 10,000 steps a day program to maintain a healthy weight and to build bone and muscle mass, which contribute to overall leg health.
2.EAT RIGHT
Healthy nutrition packed with antioxidants will help you cope with varicose veins. A slight calorie deficit will help you maintain perfect body weight, which is essential in preventing varicose veins. Lower the pressure to the veins in your legs, lower the chances of varicose veins.
3.STOCK UP ON LOTION
Any lotion that prevents skin from looking dry and scaly is fine. However, if you want your legs to look well-rested and flawless, we suggest Dr. Kent Cream for tired legs, a mixture of traditional herbs and hemp extract providing lightness to your tired legs.
4.AVOID STANDING FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME
Standing gives all the pressure of your whole-body weight to your legs. So if you have a standing job, we advise wearing compression socks. These place enough pressure on your legs so blood can flow more easily to your heart. They also decrease swelling.
5.ELEVATE YOUR LEGS
The more the swelling and the longer there has been swelling, the longer and more frequently you need to elevate your legs. Start with a few minutes several times a day.
6.DON’T SMOKE
Smoking can weaken your veins, which is the main cause of varicose veins. Quitting smoking and beginning an exercise program may reverse some damage to your veins.
SUMMARY
Before you jump into shorter clothes, make sure you put some effort into the health of your legs, especially after they were neglected for a long winter period. We hope that you find the tips we have prepared for you useful. We believe you can walk into the summer with gorgeous legs if you follow them.
