Question: I sit cross legged a lot, even at my computer desk, is this bad!?
Answers:
It isn't the most terrible thing in the world, but it does lead to decreased circulation (due to pressure being put on certain parts of both legs when they're crossed)!. It has the strong potential to affect circulation permanently - it also is a common cause of varicose and spider veins!. both lead to swelling in the lower legs - the blood is harder for the veins to transport back up to the heart because the vlaves are weakened!. The fluid has a tendency to build up in the feet and ankles, causing discomfort and fatigue in teh lower legs!. Your best bet is to break the habit of crossing the legs and trying your best to keep both feet on the floor (I know - easier said than done)!. In the long run, you'll be glad you did!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
