3. You’re Sitting Too Much Or You’re On Your Feet All Day
“The more static you are, the more fluid collects in your legs,” Youdim says. “People with sedentary desk jobs should set a timer to stretch and walk around every hour or two to improve blood flow.” And remember to take regular breaks if you’re on a long car ride.
If your day job doesn’t allow you to pop a squat, that can also lead to liquid build up south of the border.
Youdim suggests throwing on a pair of compression stockings to help your circulatory system push blood back up your body. Another easy way to beat leg bloat is by periodically elevating your tootsies even just slightly, like by placing a stool under your desk at work, she says.
