If you want your legs to serve you well into old age, you shouldn't rely only on compression stockings and contrast showers. The main thing is to give the body a daily signal: the lymph is still moving. Otherwise, by the end of the day, your feet will become “filled with lead,” your ankles will swell, and your shoes will become tight.
With a sedentary lifestyle, our body gradually slows down the outflow of fluid from the lower part of the body. The calf muscles, which act as a pump, weaken and the lymph stagnates. Hence the morning swelling, evening fatigue and the feeling that your legs are no longer yours.
In the morning, the lymphatic system especially needs to be started. Until ten o'clock she is still “sleeping” after a night's rest, and she requires light activation. By midday, the body is ready for more conscious movements and this is the best time for walking and light exercise. After eight in the evening, smooth movements and gentle self-massage are enough to help the fluid go away.
If you do one simple practice every day, you will notice a change in the condition of your legs within three weeks. Your feet will stop burning, swelling will go away by morning, and your gait will become easier.
