Problem: Prolonged sitting or standing can slow down circulation and increase pressure in your leg veins.
Solution: Take short walks every hour, flex your calves, or shift your weight regularly.

2. Wearing High Heels or Tight Clothing

Problem: High heels limit calf movement; tight clothing restricts blood flow.
Solution: Wear comfortable shoes with low heels, avoid tight elastic bands, and try compression stockings.

Solution: Keep feet flat or elevate your legs when relaxing.
