Do you stand a lot? Tips for healthy legs.

Do your legs sometimes feel like they're concrete weights? Do your legs ache after standing all day? Do your ankles puff up after sitting or standing for a long time?

Mine does and now I can do something about it.

 

Drink lots of water - at least 1.5 litres a day and don't skull it - frequent little sips is the secret.

 

Eat a well balanced diet - lots of crisps, salty nuts and alcohol quickly make things worse.

 

Try not to cross your legs for long periods - it cuts the circulation to your legs.

 

Get rid of your excess weight - a body mass index of between 18.9 and 24.9 is ideal.
