You can say that it is convenient and beautiful, even elegant, and why not. But doctors strongly recommend to get rid of this habit, because it negatively affects your health.

We list three reasons.

Increased blood pressure Numerous studies, which took place 8 years ago, proved that a long "leg-to-foot" sitting leads to an increase in blood pressure. Even if you do not have problems with pressure, this posture can lead to problems with blood circulation. Why is this happening? When you put your foot on the leg, there is an additional load on the vessels and blood flows to the heart in a larger amount, which ends in a pressure jump.

There is a varicose "setochka" None of you do not want your feet to become covered with a net of veins. But it is the habit of putting one's foot on the foot that results in inflammation of the contracted veins. Although it is known, varicose veins are a hereditary disease, but if you love the pose of a leg, you can also become your companion.

The appearance of paralysis Paralysis of the peroneal nerve or just paralysis is a consequence of the unwholesome posture.

Especially if you spend a lot of time in an uncomfortable position, it's not just a "foot on foot" attitude.

Crossing legs can cause problems with pelvic muscles, the appearance of thrombi, stoop. Watch how you sit and just find a more gentle pose for yourself. In addition, remember that in one position you can not be long. If you have a job that presupposes a sitting position, then try to take breaks in order to just walk around and warm yourself up.
