Swimming
or brisk walking are top experiences for youthful, long legs. A sedentary life
causes the tiny veins around the ankles or the calves to swell up and make ugly
blue makes of varicose veins on and otherwise smooth skin. Lake of exercise for
legs makes the blood circulate poorly in these earth-bound limbs and blood
flowing downward tends to get trapped in the veins. Only an energetic use of
the legs dancing, jogging, doing aerobics or swimming balances the speedy
circulation of blood and keeps legs well-toned in muscle and skin.
Yet
another problem -which more women than men suffer from- is retention of fluid
and the resultant swelling of calves or ankles. This happens particularly in
pregnancy or when the kidney function is not perfect. Premenstrual tension
syndromes also cause water retention in the body. All these problems can be
controlled by a balanced diet, a correct weight and regular exercise. Ramma
Bans, the fitness expert who trained Lymaraina D'Souza and other beauty
queens for years, gives useful beauty tips for maintaining beautiful legs and
making them a proud asset for a woman. Follow the simple beauty tips to keep
your skin beautiful smooth:-
1.
Legs should be maintained with
great fastidiousness. Dry skin, flaky surfaces and unwanted hair make them look
unkempt and untidy. Every night, legs should be given a rub of a good skin
cream. Once a fortnight or month - depending on hair growth - legs should be
'cleaned' by waxing off the hair or using any suitable depilatory process.
2.
Tired feet should be often soaked in
warm salty water and given a good scrub to remove hardened, dry skin on the
ankles or between toes. Toe nails should be clean, well filed and not
discolored. A good shade of nail-polish helps to accentuate the beauty of feet.
A professional pedicure - which many consider a waste of money - is a must for
feet beauty. Silver payals or toe rings are often worn in India to
enhance the beauty of feet.
3.
A brisk walk a day keeps the
circulation going well and makes leg-stamina better and better. Some young
people, including women, use small weights on the shoes to create an athletic
look for the legs. While muscular, sports-oriented legs were made fashionable
by supermodel Sushmita Sain, all women need not follow the same method.
4.
Shoes must always be comfortable. High
heeled shoes stilettos, walking or jogging shoes must be bought with comfort
and activity in mind. On special occasions, when wearing a short skirt or
during cold weather, sheer stockings may protect legs and lend them a glamorous
look. Legs should be washed and scrubbed well without using very hot or very
cold water. If you enjoy soaking your body in a pool of water, be sure not to
lie in a tub of very cold or very hot water.
5.
III fitting trousers, jeans or shoes
harm legs. All clothes worn below the waist, including a belt, must be
comfortable and supportive of activity.
6.
Exposure to the sun must be
controlled. Though tanning is fit popular in India, there is an increasing
amount of beachside or poolside life of leisure. So a good anti-tan lotion, or
cream or oil massage after a dose of sunlight is good.
7.
Avoid bruises, ligament lesions,
minor or major fractures and other kinds injuries by being careful while
climbing stairs, bending, jogging a getting in and out of vehicles. The more
the use of technology used in a home and in public life, the more hazards there
are for the who are careless or falsely valiant.
8.
Eat plenty of fresh salads,
vegetables and fruits. These give energy and avoid cracked skins. If you have a
water-retention problem, eat less salt.
9.
Massage tired legs with a
soft-textured, non greasy oil gently, in upwards movements. Keep legs looking
great always by keeping your posture straight and correct. Then alone will your
legs remain your most useful limbs and give you self reliance for all your life
