Practical Suggestions

On travels

If you are going on a long trip, be sure to choose vehicles that have the necessary space for your legs. In this way, you can stretch your feet and protect them from excessive stress. If you are driving the vehicle, it would be beneficial to take a break every 2 hours. This is important for both your feet and your body to rest. As a result, a rested body is more careful in traffic. Move your feet by walking when you take a break. It is also beneficial to stand up and move from time to time during long overseas plane journeys. Use soothing and protective travel compression socks made for use on trips. Travel compression socks will be extremely soothing and soothing.

Diet

Be careful to keep your weight under control and not gain weight. Keeping your weight within normal limits will prevent swelling in your ankles. One of the biggest causes of foot swelling is salt. Therefore, if you use too much salt, reduce it. As you already know, salt is not very beneficial for general health. It is beneficial to consume fruits and plants in season. Also choose fibrous foods regularly.

Pregnancy

It is very beneficial to have your veins checked during your pregnancy. If the specialist you consult recommends, using compression socks will be very useful in reducing the amount of blood collected. Do not use hormone medications without a doctor's recommendation to regulate your hormone balance..

While standing

Standing for long periods of time increases the risk of varicose veins. Therefore, you should not stand for long periods of time. Of course, situations may arise where you need to stand constantly due to your profession or an occupation. In such cases, avoid standing on the same foot whenever possible. Change your support leg frequently. If you take walks while standing, take 5-10 minutes of these walks at a fast pace every hour. Using your toes, lift your body up and lower it again. In this way, you can prevent blood from accumulating in your legs.

While sitting

Sitting for long periods of time triggers blood accumulation in the legs as much as standing. Again, if your job requires you to sit for a long time, be careful not to sit low. Your seat must be adjusted, raise it and sit down. It is a good idea not to cross your legs while sitting. Try to move your legs in a sitting position. They should not stand still all the time. Lift your foot onto your toes and move your feet in both directions. Stand up on your heels and sit down again. While doing all these movements may look funny from the outside, you are right, but they are important for your health. If you can get up and walk frequently, do so. Be sure to stand up at the worst possible hour. Even take a brisk walk for 3-5 minutes if you can.

While resting

Extend your feet or lift them above the level of your heart and rest. When you return home from work or from outside, it is beneficial to put your feet on a high place and rest them for about half an hour. If you can find the opportunity while working, it would be beneficial to rest your feet for about ten to fifteen minutes while you are resting. In fact, if you can do this 3-4 times a day, definitely do it.

Hot bath

Very hot water dilates the veins. Therefore, adjust the temperature well when taking a shower.

At the end of the shower, you can wash your legs with cold water. This is important for the stabilization of the vessels. Turkish bath, sauna, spa, steam bath, jacuzzi, hot mud sound very nice, but you should avoid it. Do not stay in the sun's rays for a long time.

Sport

With muscle building exercises, you can activate the vessels and ensure that the muscles support blood circulation effectively. Light cutting movements may be sufficient for this. 1-2 pound weights etc.

Walking whenever possible, swimming if possible, cycling, dancing, golf and surfing are ideal sports. Avoid heavy and power-requiring sports (tennis, jumping, gymnastics, weightlifting, boxing).

Clothing

We recommend that you do not wear tight trousers, corsets, tight underwear, very tight pantyhose, or boots that hug your calves uncomfortably. Be balanced when walking or standing. Avoid wearing shoes that are too high or have heels. Choose shoes with heels of at most 4 cm.

The use of orthopedic insoles can be preferred according to need.

Be sure to avoid clothing that will hinder blood circulation.
