Did you know that in our legs we have a “second heart”?

Walk regularly: Just 5–10 minutes every hour helps.

Do ankle pumps and calf raises: Especially helpful if you're sitting for long periods.

Stretch: Flexibility aids circulation.

Hydrate and elevate your legs occasionally if you’re prone to swelling.

Simple takeaway:
Every step helps your heart.
Your calf muscles quietly support your circulatory system, so the next time you're taking a walk — know you're giving both your legs and your heart a real gift.
