What are the dangers of wearing slimming socks?

Slimming socks are a kind of leg-slimming socks worn by many girls. Slimming socks will make the legs feel very tight. They are the leg-slimming artifact favored by countless girls. They can slim the legs when worn, but there are still certain hazards if worn for a long time.

1. Poor blood flow

Slimming socks are high-strength elastic socks. People usually wear high-strength elastic slimming socks for a long time, which will affect blood circulation and cause blood circulation problems.

2. Redness and swelling of the skin

High-strength compression socks will compress the skin pores, block the secretion of oil, and cause blood to accumulate under the skin, resulting in skin redness and swelling.

3. Skin allergies

Since slimming socks (varicose vein socks) often contain spandex, they are not very breathable and may cause skin allergies.

4. Muscle atrophy

Wearing slimming socks with excessive pressure for a long time will squeeze the leg tissue, causing slow growth of subcutaneous tissue and slow blood circulation. Muscle tissue malnutrition will cause muscle atrophy.

5. Vascular disease

Long-term wearing of slimming socks will cause long-term compression of blood vessels in the lower limbs, leading to functional decline of blood vessels, varicose veins, phlebitis, vasculitis and even leg ulcers and other peripheral vascular diseases in the lower limbs.

1. Wear slimming socks when you get up in the morning

The best time to wear slimming socks is when you get up in the morning, because blood circulation is most unobstructed and swelling has not yet begun. Lift your legs for 5-10 minutes before wearing slimming socks. This action can prevent blood reflux.

2. It is not advisable to wear slimming socks for a long time

Slimming socks will not really reduce the fat in the legs, but can only temporarily change the lines of the legs. Some women who love beauty even wear slimming socks every night when they go to bed. Such long-term wearing will not only not play a role in body shaping, but long-term compression will cause insufficient blood supply to the legs and symptoms of leg numbness. Moreover, the long-term compression of the legs will make you feel very uncomfortable. Even if slimming socks play a role in medical care, they should not be worn 24 hours a day. On the one hand, anti-varicose socks with health care effects do not need to be worn for a long time. They can be worn when shopping, exercising, walking long distances or taking long-distance flights. They can effectively promote blood circulation and relieve leg fatigue. On the other hand, although anti-varicose socks with therapeutic effects need to be worn for a long time, it does not mean that they need to be worn 24 hours a day. Generally speaking, wearing them for 8 hours a day is enough, especially when sleeping, because when people lie down, the legs and the heart are on the same level. At this time, the venous pressure in the legs almost disappears, and there is no need to wear varicose socks.

In short: it is normal to pursue beauty, but you can't be blind, otherwise it will not only fail to have the effect of slimming your legs, but will cause physical discomfort. Slimming socks are indeed helpful for short-term beautiful legs, but it is not advisable to wear slimming socks for a long time.

Slimming socks (i.e. varicose vein socks) are medical devices that can promote venous blood return to the heart. It is best to use them according to the doctor's advice. As for the so-called "slimming effect", doctors say there is no scientific basis. In addition, healthy people wearing such socks for a long time will have blood circulation problems due to excessive pressure, and even worse, it is easy to cause some muscle diseases. "If you really have varicose veins, you should go to the hospital for treatment in time. Even if you want to treat it with varicose vein socks, you should make a judgment after diagnosis by the doctor. Some patients need pantyhose, some only need to the calf, and the pressure value should be adjusted according to the different conditions." People who do not have varicose veins are best not to wear varicose vein socks. Not only do they have no slimming effect, but they will also cause harm to health. We know that slimming socks have no significant effect on slimming legs, but they are a secret weapon used clinically to assist in the treatment of varicose veins and deep venous thrombosis. It is generally suitable for patients with varicose veins and lymphedema. Through different pressure sections of socks, blood can be refluxed to relieve leg discomfort. Therefore, slimming socks are more suitable for the following people:

1. People who stand for a long time: teachers, traffic police, shopping guides, beauticians, doctors, nurses, etc.

2. Sedentary people: IT professionals, white-collar workers, civil servants and other office workers - standing or sitting for a long time, due to muscle fatigue and gravity, blood return to the legs is poor, blood viscosity increases, leading to lower limb venous disease.

3. Pregnant women and people who take contraceptives for a long time: During pregnancy, hormones in the body change and the blood volume increases by more than 20%; the fetus and enlarged uterus compress the pelvic veins and iliac veins, weight gain during pregnancy increases, and leg venous pressure increases, causing poor blood return and leading to lower limb venous disease.

3. Practice yoga

Yoga movements require long-term practice to see results. Therefore, in addition to eliminating body fat, yoga can also shape slender lines and perfect body shape through stretching movements.

Skipping rope is a low-cost, high-energy exercise. However, when you first start practicing skipping rope, you can take a break in the middle, but the rest time should not be too long, otherwise it will affect the exercise effect. If you persist in exercising for a long time, your legs will become tight.

6. Squat

Squatting is also very effective for slimming the legs. Squatting can focus on slimming the outer and inner muscles of the legs. Pear-shaped girls need to practice squatting more.

Massage back and forth for more than ten times, each time lasting about twenty minutes. This will not only achieve the effect of slimming your legs, but also prevent varicose veins, edema, and muscle atrophy in the lower limbs.
