Swollen Feet When Sitting Too Long, Relieve it This Way

Dream - Standing or sitting for too long can cause swollen feet. If the size keeps increasing, your feet won't fit into the same size of shoes anymore and eventually, you'll have to buy new shoes or sandals.

The following text is often experienced while traveling due to venous disease or varicose veins. "Sitting in a car due to traffic or standing for a long time can hinder the flow of blood from the leg veins to the heart, causing the legs to appear swollen due to the accumulation of blood fluid that is difficult to return to the heart," said Heart Specialist, Vito Anggarino. Swollen legs can be relieved with some simple movements. Here are some of them:

"Movement 1"

Sit and straighten your legs first. After that, move the area around your toes forward and backward repeatedly. Do this movement until your legs feel more relaxed.

Performing this movement repeatedly can relieve swelling in the legs due to smoother blood flow from the veins to the heart. Dream friends can do the movement on a sofa, bed, or bench while resting during traveling or after facing traffic jams.

2. Walking

Walking can not only help you lose weight and burn excess calories. Sahabat Dream can do it to reduce swelling in the legs.

"Walk for 30 minutes by landing on the heels first, then the tips of the toes. Don't sit for too long, and don't stand for too long."

3. Foot Support with Stacked Pillows

Lie down with your feet propped up using stacked pillows to reduce swelling. Make sure your feet are not lower than your head or heart to promote better blood circulation, thus helping the swelling to subside faster.

Vito himself does it by lying on his back and positioning the heart lower than the head. Then, position his feet higher than both the heart and head. "Lift the legs 30 inches with stacked pillows," he wrote. Maintain this position for several minutes to relieve swollen legs. Repeat this process so that Sahabat Dream is more comfortable during activities.
