lower legs, putting pressure on the blood vessels.

with your legs raised.

- Blackberries, raspberries, and strawberries all contain flavonoids, which have
been shown to help strengthen blood vessel walls.

3) Put your feet up when sitting
- e.g: You could do it while you were sitting down watching tv or lying down

4) Move

- Point and flex your feet to boost circulation.
