We all know how tiring it is to sit in a chair all day. 8 hours sitting at your office desk (or even more) can lead your muscles to a real crisis. But the worst is that sitting cross-legged is very harmful to the veins.
Recent studies on this problem, especially female, have shown that it is not just a health myth, but there are some bitter truths to be known.
Varicose veins or varicose veins can be caused by this daily attitude with crossed legs. If you have long legs crossed, remember this is really harmful to varicose veins ... Doctors point out that varicose veins are caused by a lack of movement.
As Women's Health explains, sitting for too long causes the veins to pump more and send more blood to the heart. And the problem is compounded if the sitting posture is even with crossed legs.
But wait, there's something else: age, genetics, family health history, hormonal changes, pregnancy, obesity, but also exposure to the sun that also affect the creation of varices. Who knew ?! At least now you know how to avoid an attitude that everybody unconsciously makes every day. Tomorrow, if you find yourself in cross-legged work, try not to do it again. Who knows, that alone can make a big, long-term difference.
