August is usually the hottest, most humid month of the summer, and it can be brutal on your legs! If you’ve noticed your legs feel extra heavy, achy or swollen by the end of the day, the heat wave might be to blame.☀️
When it's scorching outside, your body dilates your veins to try to cool you down. But if you have weak vein valves, that extra blood just pools in your lower legs, causing that tired, throbbing feeling.
Quick Summer Relief Tips:
💧Drink plenty of water to keep your blood flowing smoothly.
🧊Elevate your legs above your heart for 15 minutes when you get home.
🏊Cool off in a pool, the water pressure acts like natural compression socks!
