Practical advises for the legs care
in the venous disease evolution.
Reduce or, even better, avoid smoking, which is one of the great enemies of your arteries and veins.
If you are bedridden, move often your legs: the best exercise is cycling 20 times with lift up legs, as you are biking (you activate the muscle pump)
Keep the intestine under control: constipation can cause problems to the venous circulation and damage your legs.
Avoid to stand still or sit for too long time. Walking for at least 20 steps (or lift yourself for 20 times in tip toe), the plantar pump activates to discharge the veins of the legs.
