Those of you with severely poor blood circulation are fully well aware that compression socks are an amazing tool to help increase blood flow and reduce blood pooling, one of the biggest health risks for people with this particular problem. Unfortunately, just putting on a pair of compression socks or stockings will only do so much to help improve your circulatory health. If you really want to get healthier, you will need to put forth a bit of an effort.

A great way to ensure an increase in healthy blood flow would be to exercise regularly and just like support socks are great tools to help control blood flow in the lower extremities, there is also an amazing tool to help you get into shape.

When choosing a type of exercise, most medical professionals endorse walking. Unlike running or jogging, walking will help you to avoid joint pain in the knees and ankles. Walking is also a more mild form of exercise for those of you that are in less than stellar health. Though it is much less strenuous then other types of exercise it is still quite effective and will greatly improve the health of your circulatory system.

If you are like me, you may start this new health kick only to let it die out the first time it becomes a bit too inconvenient. Whether it is due to cold, rain or snow, one day you will find an excuse not to go for a walk and that will be the end of it. I have personally found that treadmills are an amazing way to help avoid this type of negative reinforcement. They are fairly inexpensive, easily found and purchased and allow you to exercise all you want from the comfort of your own home.

In order to make the time go by faster, I simply place a television in front of the treadmill, put on one of my favorite shows and go for a walk. The average show is 30 minutes and I usually walk about 3 miles per hour. That’s 1.5 miles a day. Not bad right, and it doesn’t take much time and it helps me stay healthy.

So, how can you go about getting your hands on a treadmill that will best suite your needs? I personally found some amazing information on http://www.best-treadmillsfor-home.com. Nothing fancy, but they have several reviews on several different types of exercise equipment both big and small, expensive and cheap, fancy and plain. This site will help you to get a great idea as to which one of these devices will help you get into shape and help improve your health all at the same time.

Why Choose Compression Socks?

One of the most common questions that I see when I read about compression socks is, “Why should I choose compression socks?”. I think the reason why many people doubt whether or not they should wear compression socks is that they really  don’t have any idea about all the benefits that they would gain from regularly wearing these socks.

Compression socks work by literally compressing your feet, legs and the veins that lie just below the skin. These blood vessels deliver blood from the heart to the legs and feet. The problem occurs when the body is unable to  recalculate blood that has traveled to the lower extremities. When blood is not properly circulated it tends to pool. This usually happens in the feet. The reason why blood pools in in your lower limbs ( your feet and legs) is due to the fact that gravity is constantly pulling everything down towards the earth and that includes your blood. By constricting the outer blood vessels and slowing blood flow to the feet, you allow the inner blood vessels, the arteries, to bring blood from the feet and reintroduce it to the heart where it can be pumped where ever it is needed.

When you think about it, it sounds very simple and there is a reason for that, because it is simple, simple yet extremely effective. The people who would benefit the most from using compression socks are people that spend a large part of their day, whether it be at work or home, either sitting or stand in a stationary position. If you are not using the muscles in your legs and feet your body will have even more trouble circulating your blood. These socks are perfect for secretaries, truck drivers, bus drivers or someone who takes long trips for work or leisure. These are all people that spend a lot of time in a stationary position.

Essentially, if you have circulatory problems or your are in a position that you believe may lead to problems with circulation, whether it is work related or because of health problems, take a good look at compression socks. These socks might be a good choice for you. They may be able to improve your blood circulation as well as your over all health.
