feetUP!

hija, i am a certified kapamilya. i watched asintado.

@Jessabuma oh, so you are also a kapamilya? but how do you watch when you are in your office the whole day?

@ridingbet me too. I love ABS-CBN.

yes, my lady, even the fluids accumulated from prolonged standing will be excreted in the form of pee.

@ridingbet So urinating a lot has good benefits.

@SIMPLYD yes it is. it cleanses our kidneys, removes toxins in our bodies, and normalizes our blood pressure through salt removal.

@ridingbet I did. I am not close to this person. Don't worry. It is this person's lost, Kabsat.

@Shavkat i don't know the reason why kabsat that is why I just want to know. But thanks anyway.

that is good to know. kabsat, have you read my PM to you?

@ridingbet I never wear slippers or shoes when I put my feet on a chair.

@LadyDuck well, I do because we are only 3 at home and my son was in school and my sister went to her room to have her siesta.

for us here, i put my feet up in my flip=flops and it is facing the wall or the DVD cabinet.

yes, that is one reason.

@anamika161088 yes, apparently I know that.

@ridingbet Gravity has a lot to interfere with our body systems

@Icydoll it relaxes your leg muscles

don't you do it too?

@ridingbet i don't have this problem friend

@ridingbet My goodness! You please seek medical attention and take medicine for the problem. Get well soon.

yes, and not only my feet, but my whole being and body as well. fluid accumulation in my ankles may be the result of too much salt intake.

@Sreekala i am a nurse and I have medicine for edema. Thank you.

yes that is true. especially if we walk a hundred miles, our feet should feel relaxed as well.

yes, it relaxes our feet.

yes that is true. elevating your legs higher than you heart will improve the venous blood return flow to your heart, but this should be done at intervals only. there is a danger of blood and oxygen deprivation into the lower extremities. also, pins and needles will be felt. it is also advisable to not cross legs in the knees but only in the ankles. leg crossing (knee) impedes blood flow and venous return will be prolonged. the fast healing of your wound with your feet elevated may have been the result of the blood flow that is delayed, and that is good.

oh dear. my friend, that is why i posted the picture in negative because i might be 'banned from the site' for showing indecent 'exposures'. hahaha.

@ridingbet LOL! I still think they are nice and shapely!

@DianneN thank you. i don't have calf muscles and they are straight. the legs of a 58 year old woman with her feet elevated.

it is good, isn't it?

how high do you put your feet up? is it 2-3 pillows high when you are lying in bed?

Yes that is a good practice. Edema or fluid accumulation in the feet and ankles during pregnancy is caused by the enlarging abdomen because of the growing fetus.

@arunima25 that is great. you are health-conscious after all.

@ridingbet I still follow it.It helps me relax.

but you don't watch Pinoy series, right hijo? you are more on the Koreanovelas, as i remember it right?

indeed, it relaxes our leg muscles as well.
