Most modern women, even young women, complain of leg fatigue.
This can be caused by various factors. Fashionable high-heeled shoes, reduced physical activity, various harmful habits and unhealthy foods are among these factors. But how can we restore the former lightness to the feet and, in this connection, the good mood?
Why are the legs tired?
There can be many reasons for the fatigue of your feet. Nowadays, it is very difficult to meet a woman who does not complain of foot pain frequently or periodically. This is primarily due to improperly chosen shoes. Unfortunately, most of the modern manufacturers of low and medium quality shoes do not think about whether their shoes are comfortable for walking. In many cases, modern women, when choosing shoes, pay attention not to their comfort, but to their beauty, based on the motto "Beauty requires sacrifice." But don't they think it's worth sacrificing health for this dubious beauty? If you do not want your feet to get tired while walking and this fatigue will eventually lead to varicose veins of the lower extremities, when choosing shoes, make sure that they are comfortable as well as fashionable. When you put on and inspect your shoes, make sure that your feet fit snugly on the lining of the shoes, especially the middle part. Don't buy one-size-fits-all shoes with the idea of "angles as you wear them", quality shoes can't expand and change size by one size. Finally, do not buy shoes with heels higher than 4-5 cm for everyday use, and keep "studs" and high-heeled shoes for special nights and social events.
Your lifestyle can also be the cause of foot fatigue. For example, sedentary work or work that requires a lot of walking and standing can be a source of fatigue. In this case, preventive gymnastics, as well as sports such as running, swimming in the pool will help you. In the evening, take preventive cool baths for the feet, use creams to relieve fatigue in the legs, etc. Remember that this type of pain can be a harbinger of new varicose veins. Therefore, preventive measures will only benefit you.
