Whether sitting or walking for a long time, it is a great burden on the legs after a whole day, which is easy to cause poor blood circulation and swelling of the legs, which is very harmful to health. Recently, South Korea’s “naver” comprehensive portal introduced a “leg lifting rest method”, which is easy to use and can help eliminate leg fatigue for reference.
Lie on the bed 20-30 minutes before going to bed and put a cushion or pillow under your feet. With the help of gravity, the blood in the legs can flow back to the heart more easily, accelerate the blood circulation in the legs, effectively eliminate the fatigue substance lactic acid accumulated in the legs, relax the muscles in the legs, and help eliminate edema.
It should be noted that the height of the cushion should be 5-15cm, of which 10-15cm is the best. Being too high will compress the blood vessels at the root of the thigh, and the effect will be counterproductive. Especially for patients with hypertension, it is better to reduce the height appropriately, otherwise it will cause headache due to too fast blood reflux.
