TIRED LEGS SYNDROME: dolences of the lymphatic and circulatory system

Heaviness in the legs, swelling, edema, lymphedema, varices, spider veins, cold feet, legs and hips, pain when pinching the leg…Everything is usually related to the same thing: Poor blood circulation and a lymphatic system that is not doing its job well. We have already explained in another article how essential the lymphatic system and its vital fluid are, the lymph. Well, many of the discomforts that you may be feeling in your legs manifest poor lymphatic drainage.

AND when your body is not able to process all the waste well, health problems begin, among them and one of the most frequent, the tired legs syndrome. Of course, let's not forget blood circulation either. Poor circulation is usually due to insufficient or hindered venous return. But related or not, both circulatory and lymphatic problems could end up hand in hand and lead to multiple pathologies if they are not tackled as soon as possible.

Why do my legs hurt so much?

We've all heard when we haven't told ourselves that "Why do my legs hurt so much?”. And many times we attribute it to simple fatigue. But be careful, because if this pain is becoming chronic, the problem is surely much less superficial than we think. Let's see why the legs hurt so much and chronically:

The lymph nodes are responsible for expelling fats and toxins from the body. But some factors can intervene and make the job next to impossible. Sudden changes in temperature, poor diet, hormonal changes - especially in women as menopause approaches - sedentary lifestyle and lack of physical exercise or excess toxins may be hindering your lymphatic system. The lymph cannot then eliminate any waste with inevitable and disastrous results: slower circulation, swelling and pain. A horror.

And we are not necessarily talking about elderly people. You can be very young and suffer from tired legs. Nor are we talking exclusively about people who are considerably overweight. Obviously, being overweight causes heaviness, poor circulation, pain or fatigue, but it is not always people with a lot of weight who suffer from heavy or tired legs. And when our body feels pain, it is telling us that it doesn't feel good, that it needs a change. Can a Pressotherapy treatment help to eliminate these symptoms? Does pressotherapy relieve tired legs? Of course!

But as we always advise, pressotherapy sessions, although highly recommended for your tired legs, must be accompanied by other measures so that everything flows, never better said. Let's see what presotherapy is for in the legs:

• relaxes the muscles
• Reduce pain
• Reduces the appearance of “orange peel” (cellulite)
• Reduces swelling and stiffness
• Reconduce the toxins
• Tones and firms the skin
• Strengthens the immune system
• Combined with sport, it relieves muscle aches and speeds up muscle recovery.

• Feeding: that is balanced and nutritious. Let fruits and vegetables abound in your diet, always. Minimize salt. It's not good and disguises the flavors. You can take it occasionally, but if you really want to keep fluid retention at bay, don't give it a daily role in your menu. It also goes from saturated fats, fried foods, processed foods, pastries. The Devil waits crouched on every shelf in the supermarket, and it's hard to walk past it, but if there are people who can get away from the hardest drugs, so can you.
• Hydration: Give your body all the water it needs. Ingest a minimum of 1.5 to 2 liters daily. Get another good portion of water from fruits, vegetables, or salads. Also take from time to time infusions of artichoke or sarsaparilla. They are incredibly diuretic and cleansing.
• Move on! That of "I already move enough at work" is not an acceptable excuse. If your legs are as they are, it is because you are not moving them as they need to. If your work forces you to spend many hours in a seat or standing but moving your legs little, stop for a few minutes to stretch, jog a little or take a short walk even in your workplace.
• Light garments. Especially in the legs. Very tight clothing that is too tight does not help to free your legs from their weight, quite the contrary.
• Physical exercise: Nothing like exercising the body to revive all its systems. If you are not into running, cycling or going to the gym, try putting on your favorite music and dance for 30-45 minutes. Do it with desire and sweat, sweat, sweat! If you haven't exercised for a long time, you'll feel like your liver is in your mouth, but after a few days, your body will adapt and you'll feel great, with much more energy. You will also notice that you rest better at night. And write down these two little tricks: Do the exercise either early in the morning and fasting, or in the afternoon. If you have dinner afterwards, make it something light. And in any case, always wait an hour and a half before eating anything solid. This is what you should do to burn fat. Another thing you can do is take spirulina algae either in tablets or powder dissolved in water. Speed ​​up metabolism. And don't stop drinking water during exercise. Water and oxygen is all you need to burn part of the fat that you probably also have on your legs.
• Rest. Getting enough sleep is crucial for everything to be in order in your body. Our pace of life is already too hectic for you to deprive not only your legs but the rest of your body of the rest it deserves. Try to sleep 8 hours a day and if you have trouble sleeping, induce sleep with some reading. You can also take melatonin. If your legs are very swollen, keep them elevated for about 20 minutes at some point during the day, or place a cylindrical cushion at the bottom of the bed to raise the legs higher than the rest of the body and thus facilitate venous return.
• Lymphatic drainage. Surely you need to redirect the retained fluid and eliminate toxins. Nothing like pressotherapy for swollen and therefore tired legs. Using them regularly, the pressotherapy boots will restore normality to your lymphatic system, with a soft but firm massage that will work from the feet to the lymph nodes located in the groin. The massage also helps to break down the fat nodules that cause cellulite. Be consistent and do at least 2-3 sessions a week, for about 45 minutes. After 10 sessions, you should already notice the great benefits of pressotherapy on the legs.
• Just pressotherapy boots or a more complete set? It is certainly logical to recommend pressotherapy boots for the circulation of the legs, and because tired legs syndrome is called that for an obvious reason, but depending on the severity, the pressotherapy girdle or shorts can also be of great help. aid. The lymphatic system is not limited to the legs but runs throughout the body, and the same is true for retained fat and fluid. So combining several garments in the same session may be the best option for a more extensive treatment.
