🌿Every time you walk, run, or even stand on your toes, your calf muscles contract and squeeze the deep veins in your legs. This action pushes blood upward against gravity, helping it return to the heart. Since the heart alone can’t efficiently pull blood all the way back from your lower legs, the calves act like a powerful pump to keep circulation flowing.
Strong, active calves help:
Improve blood circulation
Reduce leg swelling and fatigue
Lower the risk of blood pooling in the legs
🌿When your calves move, your blood moves—making them a vital partner to your heart in keeping your body healthy. 🦵❤️
