Exercise, massage, dry brushing and jumping all help to assist the veins in pumping the blood through the legs. If you experience varicose veins or swelling in your lower legs, speak to your doctor. Stay active throughout the day. Any exercise or movement will help increase the blood circulation in your lower legs. If you are new to fitness, simply walking around the block will help. If you sit down for large parts of the day take five minutes every one to two hours to walk around the house or your office building.
When sitting or standing in one position for a long time, stretch your legs and move around every couple of hours. Support hose, which you can buy at drugstores, also promote good circulation. And consider cutting your salt intake to a teaspoon or less daily, which helps reduce water retention. If none of these remedies seems to help, a medical issue such as heart failure, kidney failure, or side effects of prescription medications may be to blame. Work with your doctor to rule out these more serious causes.
