What are the causes of aching legs?
Poor circulation is the main cause for aching legs, exacerbated by factors such as smoking, obesity, a lack of exercise and a poor diet. High blood pressure and high cholesterol may also be linked to tired, aching legs. By engaging in exercise to activate blood circulation in the legs and wearing an appropriate compression garment, aches and pains can hopefully be reduced. Top Tip: Gentle exercise encourages blood flow and can help you to lose weight.
