Everyone usually works sitting or standing, and sometimes in the afternoon, they feel that their shoes are getting smaller, which is a phenomenon of edema. Have you ever tripped while walking on the flat ground, or when the heel was badly worn? In fact, these are also manifestations of edema. Today, I will teach you a simple stovepipe massage and introduce some foods that can thin the lower body.

1. Why is calf edema?

There are many reasons for leg edema. Skinny legs may only massage the calf, ignoring the importance of the ankle. But in fact, due to insufficient exercise on weekdays, excess fat will accumulate on the ankle. Under the action of gravity, toxins, waste and excess water will deposit on the calf, and the fat on the ankle will "unite" and the leg will suddenly become bigger.

2. Simple edema measurement

Please press hard for 20~30 seconds with your thumb on the part that is easy to edema below the knee. After releasing your finger, if the sunken place has not recovered, there is likely to be edema. So, do you have edema in your calf? Now let's test it! If the following situations occur, you should pay more attention!

My toes always feel cold.

Walking on the flat ground occasionally stumbles.

There is obvious wear on the heel.

Sitting or standing for a long time.

Shoes get tight at night.

4. Quick-acting massage to save edema

The best and most effective way to stovepipe is massage, because massage can make excess water and waste flow, so that not only the metabolism of calves and thighs can be improved, but also the legs feel a lot tighter. Eliminate the fatigue factor of the calf, and the calf is easy to become hard and swollen, mostly because of fatigue. If these fatigue factors are ignored, the calf will precipitate pigment and become thicker.

Massage sequence: twisting → pushing → pressing → circular massage.

1. Wrap the calf vertically from the front and rear sides with open hands, then push and rotate the calf muscles in the opposite direction with the palm of your hand, hold for 5 seconds, and then press in the other direction for 5 seconds.

2. Hold your knees with your hands and place your thumbs side by side on the knee socket. Press the acupoints once and for all along the back of the calf until the ankle.
