Why Your Legs Feel Worse An Hour After The Shift Ends

Twelve years on a warehouse floor, and the problem was never the shift. It was the hour after, when I sat down at seven and did not get back up.

It Is Not The Standing. It Is The Moving Back Up.

Nobody on their feet for a living is surprised that their legs are tired. That part is the job.

What gets you is the hour after. You sit down to eat and your calves feel packed. Your socks have left a ring. Your feet are still hot at eleven at night.

And whatever you were planning to do with the evening does not happen.

Ten Hours Of Standing Is Ten Hours Of Working Against Gravity

Blood gets down to your feet easily. Moving it back up is the hard part.

Your calves do most of that work. Every step squeezes the veins and pushes blood upward.

Stand mostly still on a hard floor for ten hours and that pump barely runs. Fluid settles where gravity puts it.

Compression Socks Squeeze From The Outside. The Problem Is On The Inside.

Everyone recommends them and they do something, for as long as you are wearing them. The moment they come off, you are back where you started, because a sock is a mechanical squeeze on the outside of the leg. It does nothing about how well the vessels inside are opening. Miss a day, or work through a summer where you cannot stand them, and nothing has changed underneath.

Since I have been taking the blood flow supplement my legs feel better and my ankles are not swollen.Dwight J., verified buyer

Insoles And Better Boots Solve A Different Problem

Good boots and decent insoles are worth having. They will help your arches and your knees.

But cushioning changes what your foot lands on, not how much blood is moving through it. That is why you can spend two hundred dollars on boots and still have the same heavy legs at nine at night.

What Finally Worked For Me

Your body makes something called nitric oxide, and it is what tells your blood vessels to relax and open. Wider vessels move blood more easily, including back up out of your legs.

BloodFlow-7® works on that instead of squeezing the leg from outside.

It uses S7®, a blend of seven plant compounds clinically shown to raise the body’s own nitric oxide by up to 230%. Nitrosigine® keeps a key building block for nitric oxide elevated in the blood for up to six hours per dose. Trans-Resveratrol relaxes and widens arteries by up to 62%.

Just two capsules on your lunch break. Nothing to wrestle onto your heel in the dark, nothing that comes off at the end of the day and takes the benefit with it.
