How to recognise and manage evening edema? 🔍

Edema is a common condition characterised by fluid accumulation in the tissues, leading to swelling. Evening edema, also known as nocturnal leg swelling, occurs primarily at night and can cause discomfort and inconvenience.

Recognising evening edema:
• Swelling that occurs primarily at night and subsides during the day;
• A feeling of heaviness or tightness in the legs;
• Pitting or indentation of the skin after being pressed for several seconds.

There are several solutions for managing evening edema:

Staying hydrated is essential for ensuring good blood circulation, as it helps to keep the blood 🩸 thin and to flow smoothly.

According to the Australian Government's Department of Health, adequate hydration 🥤 is essential for maintaining good health, including proper blood flow and circulation.

When the body is dehydrated, the blood becomes thicker, which can make it more difficult for the heart to pump the blood effectively and can lead to reduced blood flow to the legs and other parts of the body.

Drinking enough fluids, such as water, can help prevent dehydration and maintain good blood circulation.

Consult a healthcare professional for personalized hydration recommendations.

Some of the best remedies for the development of varicose veins linked to a sedentary lifestyle 🛋️ include:

• Regular exercise: Engaging in regular physical activity, such as walking or running 🏃‍♀️🏃, can help to improve circulation and strengthen the vein walls, reducing the risk of varicose veins.

• Maintaining a healthy weight: Carrying excess weight can strain the veins in the legs, increasing the risk of varicose veins. Maintaining a healthy 🍎 weight through diet and exercise can help to reduce this risk.

• Wearing compression stockings: Compression stockings 🧦 apply graduated pressure to the legs, helping to improve circulation and reduce swelling. They can accommodate people who must sit or stand for long periods.

• Avoiding high heels 👠❌: High heels can strain the veins in the legs, increasing the risk of varicose veins. Wearing flat or low-heeled shoes can help to reduce this risk.

• Taking regular breaks: If you are required to sit 🪑 or stand 🧍 for long periods, it is essential to take frequent breaks to stretch and move around. This can help to improve circulation and reduce the risk of varicose veins.

By following these remedies, it is possible to reduce ↘️ the risk of developing varicose veins linked to a sedentary lifestyle.

All of us have experienced numbness in our legs… 🦵
But do you know the origin? 📚📖

Tingling in the extremities is something that practically all of us have had the opportunity to feel on our skin. In a healthy person, such symptoms will quickly disappear after a change in body position or a short walk around the house.

However, if we lead a relatively sedentary lifestyle and have a sedentary job, numb limbs may become a constant companion of our everyday life.
