Sit Up Straight and Uncross Your Legs
02 Apr 2024
Most people sit too much. Don’t make it worse by crossing your legs all the time. Crossed legs create pressure that hinders blood flow. Over time, it can lead to vein inflammation and place you at greater risk for a blood clot, higher blood pressure and varicose (spider) veins. It might seem strange to those who haven’t tried it, but sitting can be a good time for doing a little exercise. No one will know if you work in several sets of Kegel exercises. Keeping small weights nearby for use two or three times a day can also turn one of the laziest pastimes into a new health routine.
