So stay until the end to pick up all these tips, because they are all very important to you. The most common reason for swollen feet is circulatory, some alteration in circulation where your circulatory vessels cannot drain all the liquid that is down there in your feet. Another reason for swollen feet is life habits, when, for example, you work for a long time on your feet or when you lead a sedentary lifestyle, without practicing physical activity.

You will also notice that on warmer days, in summer, in the heat, your feet will be more swollen, since the heat, the increase in temperature, is a vasodilator. So, it will increase the caliber of your blood vessels, causing your feet to increase in volume and make them swell. Another common reason for swollen feet is an ankle sprain itself.

When the person turns their foot, but since we already have a video about it here on the channel, I'll leave it for you to watch later, just by clicking on the card above. Therefore, to treat your swollen feet, improving your circulation at home, the homemade treatment, you will follow these six tips that I will give you now. Tip number one: don't stand for too long.

The longer you stand, the more gravity will act on your feet. But gravity will cause the blood to pool down there. For the blood to make its way down to your feet, we have the heart that helps to pump the blood, we have the gravity that helps to make the blood go down.

But going up is different. The heart will not be down there helping, and we will also be against gravity. The longer you stand, the more gravity pulls on you, the more swollen your feet will be.

Tip number two: contract your leg muscles, especially your calf. Remember I told you the heart isn't down there in the legs to help the blood come back up? In fact, we have the calf, and the calf is considered our second heart.

In fact, all the leg muscles, the lower limbs, they help to make the blood go up, especially the calf. That's because when the muscle contracts around the blood vessel, around the vein, it acts as a hydraulic pump, just like the heart up here, helping the blood to go up, the blood to go back up again, for blood to return to the heart. Therefore, contracting the calf muscles, the leg muscles, is very good for reducing the swelling in your feet.

To contract the calf, try to do exercises to stand on your toes, three series of 10 repetitions. Do it every day, and also take walks for at least 20 minutes, so you can work the muscles of the lower limbs, making the blood work, making the blood return to your heart, thus reducing the swelling in your feet. Tip number three: lie on your stomach and legs up.

Remember when I said that when you stand up, gravity isn't helping us? She makes the blood go down to the feet. When we lie with our legs up, with our legs above the line of the heart, above the line of the torso, then we use gravity in our favor and make your circulation improve, reducing your swelling in the feet.

Try to do, while you have your legs up there, also pointe exercises standing, because as I said before, doing the calf muscle contraction will help the blood return and reduce the swelling in your feet. Tip number four: make compresses to reduce the swelling of the feet. This tip is very good, I pass it on to my patients, and what you're going to do is this: you're going to take two buckets.

In the first bucket, you will leave it with lukewarm water, not hot, it does not need to be at a point where your feet will cook, the water needs to be warm. And, in the second bucket, you will leave the water cold, you can even put some ice pebbles to lower the water temperature. And what you're going to do is this: you're going to put your feet submerged in the bucket of warm water, you're going to leave your feet there to rest for three minutes.

While you have your foot in warm water, the heat is a vasodilator, it increases the caliber of blood vessels. So 3 minutes with your feet in the warm water. And after those three minutes have passed, you're going to take your feet out of the warm water and you're going to place your feet on a towel on the floor at room temperature for 15 to 20 seconds.

This is to avoid thermal shock, because now you're going to put your feet submerged in the bucket of cold water, with the ice pebbles, and you're going to leave your feet in the bucket of cold water for a minute. Unlike heat, which is a vasodilator and increases the caliber of blood vessels, cold is a vasoconstrictor, it reduces the caliber of blood vessels. Then you take your foot out of the bucket of cold water, leave it at room temperature for 15 seconds, and put your foot back in the bucket of hot water.

And you will repeat this exercise five times, three minutes here in hot water, 15 to 20 seconds at room temperature, one minute in cold water, doing five repetitions of this whole step by step. And what will happen is that heat is a vasodilator and cold is a vasoconstrictor. Doing this exercise then transforms your blood vessels into a hydraulic pump, where it will increase the caliber and decrease the caliber, making this hydraulic pump, causing the blood to return, improving your circulation and thus reducing the swelling of your feet.

Tip number five: drink plenty of water. A lot of people think that drinking water makes you more swollen, it's not true. When we ingest the right amount of water per day, at least two liters, we are cleaning our body from the inside out and eliminating more liquid than if we were not drinking the right amount of water.

Tip number six: buy shoes at the end of the day. The period when your feet are most swollen is at the end of the day. So if you buy a shoe that works for your feet in the morning, chances are later in the day, when your feet are more swollen, the shoes will feel tight.

In this way, it is indicated that you try on your shoes at the time of purchase only at the end of the day. Another tip is to remove the insole from your shoes while you are in the store and place your foot on the insole. Watch if your heel is lined up over the insole and there at the tip of your foot there should be a thumb lying down.

It's a super cool strategy for you to try on your sneakers and make sure they won't be tight.
