i would suggest laying in bed and put both legs up and " pretend" you are riding a bicycle -do for a few minutes several times a day and eventually increase the time you are "riding". i bought my mom a 3-wheeled bike and borrowed my neighbor child bike to accompany her. if you are a senior the local senior citizens center might have an exercise room and it's not only fun visiting with the person next to you but new friendships may occur. an important factor is to have someone with you that will help you make this a priority--set a time to meet. (unless you're doing this in bed ha ha). you've probably been told to keep your legs up whenever possible. put a recliner in front of the tv else find an inexpensive foot rest to put in front of your chair (if the top is hard just put a cushion on it). and don't forget to have at least 2 pillows under your legs while you are sleeping. and last don't wear socks that leaves a crease around your ankles or calves--this will affect the blood flowing to your legs and feet. (you might want to consider buying a pair of diabetic socks that have a loose top. ) hope this helps.
how can i increase blood circulation especially in my legs. is there a way through exercise or diet?
