Healthy Leg Tips

Walk

The Surgeon General recommends the 10,000 steps a day program to maintain a healthy weight.

Avoid sitting all day

Long periods of sitting, whether at the office, in a car or on a plane can lead to deep venous thrombosis or blood clots.

Eat right

Maintaining a healthy weight limits stress on your legs and promotes general wellness.

Stock up on lotion

Moisturize your skin twice a day to maintain its elasticity and help support cell walls, which in turn can prevent varicose veins.

Take showers

Exposure to prolonged or excessive heat during long, hot baths can dilate blood vessels, which decreases the return of blood from the legs to the heart and may result in varicose vein formation.

Elevate your legs

When reading or watching television, prop up legs parallel to the ground by resting them on a stool or a chair.

Don't smoke!

Smoking increases the risk of damage to vein walls and may result in varicose veins, leg ulcers and osteoporosis.
