Steps to healthy legs

Venous disorders with symptoms such as puffy, heavy, achy and tired legs are very common, and some people may experience a decline in leg circulation with age. There are a variety of products for leg vein health on the market that can effectively help relieve and prevent the symptoms of vein disorders.

Plenty of exercise, elevation of your legs, maintaining a healthy weight and avoiding excessive heat can prevent or diminish symptoms. Where possible avoid sitting or standing for long periods.

(Nocturnal) calf cramps may be relieved rapidly by firm passive stretching of the involved muscle (e.g., foot stretch up). Those cramps are commonly caused by an imbalance in body electrolytes. To rebalance electrolytes you can drink a light salt water solution (1L water containing 10 g salt). Adequate conditioning, acclimatization, and appropriate management of salt balance can help to prevent cramps. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
