Five strokes of stovepipe
The first trick is to focus on leg hydrotherapy
Leg edema is the most common "fourth problem". Waste and toxins accumulated in the legs, together with body fluids trapped in the legs due to gravity, will directly lead to edema and obesity in the legs. If you can't take a bath every day, you can often give your legs a comprehensive concentrated SPA with warm water, which can also eliminate leg edema and restore leg slimness.
Tools: the barrel is deep enough, essential oil, bath salt and warm water.
Methods: Fill the wooden barrel with warm water until the calf can't pass completely, then add essential oil and bath salt, soak the whole calf in water for about 15 minutes, and gently massage the calf to help detoxify and tighten the leg.
The second trick is to eat and reduce your legs.
1, vitamin e helps to remove edema. Poor blood circulation can easily lead to edema of feet. Foods containing vitamin E help to speed up blood circulation and prevent leg muscles from relaxing. Foods rich in vitamin E include almonds, peanuts and wheat germ.
2. Vitamin B accelerates metabolism. Vitamin B 1 can convert sugar into energy, while B2 can accelerate the metabolism of fat and eat more foods rich in vitamin B, such as mushrooms, sesame, tofu, peanuts and spinach.
3. Eating less salt can eliminate edema, and eating salty food often makes it easy to accumulate too much water in the body and form edema, which is easy to accumulate on the calf. In addition to reducing the absorption of salt, you can also eat more foods containing potassium, because potassium helps to excrete excess salt in the body, including tomatoes, bananas, potatoes, celery and so on.
The third measure: massage
Massage is the most direct and effective way to shape the legs. It can stimulate acupuncture points on the legs, promote blood and lymphatic circulation, expel toxins and eliminate obesity, and regulate hormone secretion by stimulating important acupuncture points on the legs. It is said that there is a leg massage machine now, which can replace manual massage and may be more convenient.
The fourth measure: the magic ball
While eliminating leg fat, we should also exercise calf muscles. I'll teach you a simple method. Two billiards-sized fitness balls can make you exercise your leg muscles at any time.
Tools: Two billiards-sized fitness balls.
Methods: Whether sitting at a desk or sitting on the sofa at home, you can put these two fitness balls on the soles of your feet and use the strength of your legs to drive them to slide back and forth.
Efficacy: For the calf, low-intensity exercise is the best way to exercise. You can massage the soles of your feet and exercise your calf muscles. Besides, because your legs have to move back and forth, you can't cross your legs any more.
The fifth measure: sleep
You may find this title incredible. Changing the sleeping position can also reduce the burden on the calf. The method is to use a thin quilt at the end of the bed to slightly raise the level of the legs above the heart.
Massage method
Method 1: Massage your toes
Massage your toes can help you lose weight and enhance your memory.

Method 2: Shake your feet.
If the blood circulation of the body is not good, it will cause endocrine disorder or visceral dysfunction, so that the toxins in the body can not be excreted in time, and slow metabolism will easily lead to a large accumulation of fat in the body, which will lead to obesity.
