There are various causes that can lead to this uncomfortable feeling to have tired legs. We analyse them. We also explain which are the best remedies for mitigate leg heaviness.
It is a very widespread discomfort, up to 80% of the adult population have noticed a generalised pain in the legs without having made any overexertion, tingling, tiredness, cramps or swelling.
THE CAUSES
Poor circulation With the arrival of the good weather, more people have some of these symptoms. The fact is that the heat dilates the veins and this worsens the return of blood to the heart, causing heaviness in the legs.
Pregnancy Another factor that can cause symptoms of leg fatigue is pregnancy. Especially during the last trimester due to weight gain, fluid retention and hormonal changes.
Inadequate nutrition Excess salt, fats and sugars in the diet are direct causes of poor circulation and fluid retention. We should eat a balanced diet with plenty of fruit, vegetables and fibre, and drink about two litres of water a day.
Sedentary lifestyle Most people's day-to-day lives are hectic, but that doesn't mean we get much exercise. On the contrary, today's lifestyle leads us to spend many hours sitting or standing in the same position or in an inadequate posture. Walking, jogging or any other sport will help us to improve circulation and minimise leg heaviness.

REMEDIES
First of all, counteract all possible causes! Make exercise and follow a proper diet. If we stand for many hours a day, not staying in the same place, moving our legs back and forth is much better. If, on the other hand, we have to sit for many hours a day, we should do so without crossing our legs, leaning on the ischiums with the back upright, respecting the natural curvature of the lumbar vertebrae.
