Quick Tips for Heavy Legs
In addition to these recipes, the text suggests these lifestyle habits for better circulation:
-
Movement: Walk at least 30 minutes daily.
-
Elevation: Raise your legs above heart level when resting.
-
Hydration: Drink plenty of water and reduce salt intake to minimize fluid retention.
