I sit bad to cross you legs?

i have sat with my legs crossed probably starting when i was around seven now i am fourty. i cross them every time i sit down, eventually after a long priod of crossing my top leg gets numb. i have heard that crossing your legs can cause vein problems, back problems, and hip problems, i dont have any at all, but is this true that it is bad? do you cross your legs also? and are you aware it might be bad?

Crossing your legs can cause varicose veins. Whether or not it causes back problems is probably dependent upon whether you slump your back when sitting or hyperextend it. It shouldn't have much to do with how your legs are, but more on how your posture is. I presume it could probably aggravate hips already prone to arthritis, but I wouldn't worry too much about it. Really, it's just the pressure that can cause the varicose veins, and if you're worried about those, try to break the habit.
