Sangre Acumulada en las Piernas: 5 Ejercicios Para Activar el Retorno Venoso

After age 60, blood can have more difficulty returning from the legs to the heart, especially if we spend many hours sitting, walk little, or if our calf muscles have lost strength. This can lead to heavy legs, cold feet, swollen ankles, fatigue, and discomfort at the end of the day. In this video, Dr. Ana Beltrán, from Pulso Senior Saludable (Healthy Senior Pulse), teaches you five gentle exercises that can help activate leg muscles, promote venous return, and maintain more efficient blood circulation after age 60. You will learn simple movements to activate your calves, ankles, and thighs—areas that help pump blood back to the heart. The routine can be done at home, using a chair for support, without the need for machines or intense exercises. You will also discover why the calves are known as the "second heart," how a sedentary lifestyle affects circulation, and what mistakes to avoid when performing these movements. These exercises can support circulation, but they are not a substitute for medication or treatment prescribed by your doctor. If you experience sudden pain, swelling in one leg, redness, shortness of breath, chest pain, or a history of thrombosis, seek medical attention immediately.
