The approaching longer, lighter days of spring is the time many of
us start to become more physically active and introduce regular exercise into
our routine.
Exercise is important to maintain a healthy heart, manage our weight
and reduce the risk of diseases such as Type 2 Diabetes and high blood
pressure. Leg exercise in particular is
an important part of maintaining mobility as we age.
Keeping our legs moving is essential to sustain healthy circulation
and joint movement. Our circulatory system is responsible for keeping blood,
oxygen and nutrients flowing through the body.
Minor leg circulation problems if ignored or untreated can be
responsible for the cause of more serious conditions, some of which include:
heart failure, stroke, limb loss.
Causes and symptoms of
poor circulation
Although some causes of poor circulation are hormonal or
hereditary, for many, illnesses such as obesity and diabetes and poor diet
coupled with an unhealthy lifestyle are responsible. As well as restricted mobility, symptoms can
include;
- Numbness in legs
& feet
- Throbbing or
stinging pain in the limbs
- Pain in the legs
- Muscle cramps
- Swelling & fluid
retention
- Aching & fatigue
- Tingling
These symptoms can easily be prevented from developing or
significantly reduced by following a few simple tips.
7 Tips for
Maintaining Healthy Leg Circulation
·
Don’t sit or stand in the same position for too long – it’s important to move around to get the blood flowing to your
legs. If you have a desk job, ensure you
get up and move around every 1-2 hours even if just to the bathroom or kitchen
area.
·
Avoid crossing your legs – crossing your
legs can restrict blood supply so try to avoid this whenever possible.
·
Exercise regularly – walking,
swimming, running, hiking or biking are all good ways to keep your circulation
flowing, however even some light yoga or a half hour walk daily can help.
·
Wear comfortable shoes – wearing high
heels or pointed toe shoes can restrict blood flow so try to wear shoes that
give your feet room to breathe, choose rounded toe shoes and wedges over
stilettos.
·
Wear support stockings – these are
specifically designed to help blood flow in your legs especially if your
mobility is restricted such as during flights, long car journeys or after
surgery.
·
Stop smoking – smoking can cause
hardening of the arteries and significantly reduce blood flow.
·
Leg Massage – used in sports and
athletics for many years to help relieve pain, strengthen muscles and heal
injury, leg massage is recognised to be beneficial to improving circulation,
performance and general fitness.
·
Alternative Leg Massage Treatment - if you can’t afford
physiotherapy massage, are unable to exercise due to time or mobility
constraints or simply don’t have the motivation, an alternative method of
stimulating circulation can be a fantastic substitute to ensure general
well-being.

The Relief! “I work in IT and sometimes sit for 10-11 hours a day and one leg
has vein narrowing that is causing pain and fluid in my foot. The relief from
these inflatable booties is ENORMOUS. I've tried leg elevating and other stuff
but this is the only thing that relieves the aching. BRILLIANT. And my Dr
recommends I keep on with it.” Mrs
Cozens
Cleo Active has
improved my quality of life in many ways “I was recently
diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and one of the things my GP was worried about
was the circulation in my legs. Being partially disabled I was limited in the
amount, and type of exercise that I could do, which in turn would affect my
circulation. To help this, my daughter bought me Cleo Active to try it out. As
well as improving my diabetes management, Cleo Active has improved my quality
of life, by helping to control my restless leg syndrome.” Trevor Robshaw
I’m so glad I found
the Cleo leg therapy machine, WOW “ I found this
whilst looking for something else; my legs were swollen and I was having cramps
nightly. Well, I having been using this for seven days now twice a day, I can
already feel the benefits I can now see my ankles have had no cramps and my
legs feel fresh. Overall fantastic experience wished I’d found it years ago.” Anna Ponting
