Leg Health

Q) What happens when we have leg problems?

A) Minor leg problems, such as sore muscles, aches and pains commonly occur during sport, play or work activities. Common leg issues of heavy, tired legs, achy legs, puffy legs, or painful joints can occur as a result of increased pooling of the blood in the leg veins and a build up of fluid inside the tissues and can be caused by spending too much time standing or sitting, poor diet and not enough exercise. If you are concerned about your leg health, please speak with your doctor or pharmacist.

Q) How can leg problems be avoided?

A) A healthy lifestyle including a diet rich in vitamins and fibre and low in saturated fat, plus plenty of exercise is helpful, but it cannot give a one hundred percent guarantee that you will not suffer from leg problems at some time. There are also a variety of products available that may help prevent or treat leg issues, or maintain healthy legs such as leg vein products with the natural ingredient bio-active Flaven^TM derived from red vine leaf extract or aescin extracted from the seeds of horse chestnuts. Moreover compression / support stockings can help with short term leg problems.

If you think your leg problems may be serious, you should speak with your doctor.
