6. Wear Compression Stockings
Compression stockings are long socks that help improve circulation to prevent blood clots. They do this by putting pressure on the lower legs to encourage blood flow to the heart. Without them, the blood could pool in the lower legs, causing a slowdown in circulation.
Compression stockings come in various sizes and tightness, from mild compression for leg swelling and discomfort to firm compression for people with a history of thrombosis. While not everyone needs compression stockings, they help many people with leg pain and circulation problems. Check with a doctor to learn if they're a good choice for you.
