Did you know your body has a “second heart” that plays a vital role in circulation? Located in your calves, this muscle helps pump blood back to your heart. Keeping this muscle active is essential to prevent blood clots and maintain healthy circulation. So, taking steps to keep your calves engaged throughout the day can be one of the simplest ways to protect your cardiovascular health.
Regular physical activity, particularly walking or calf exercises, is an excellent way to stimulate this muscle. If you spend long hours sitting, remember to stand up, stretch, or walk around every once in a while. These small movements can make a big difference in promoting blood flow and preventing the stagnation that leads to clots.
Embrace these easy habits to support healthy circulation. Taking care of your ‘second heart’ can have lasting benefits for your overall health. How do you keep your calves active during the day? 🦵❤️
