Did you know that in our legs we have a “second heart”?
No, it's not a legend: it's the nickname given to calf muscles, and the reason is really fascinating!

When we walk, climb the stairs or simply stand up, these muscles contract and act like a real natural pump, pushing blood upwards against the force of gravity, in the direction of the heart. 💪🩸

This mechanism is essential for:
✔️ Promote venous circulation
✔️ Prevent blood clots in the legs
✔️ Reduce swelling, feeling of heaviness and varicose veins
✔️ Reduce the risk of deep venous thrombosis

All of this thanks to the synergistic work of muscles and venous valves, which prevent the blood from going back.

👉 Here’s why sitting or standing for too long can be harmful, while regular movement — even with a simple walk — helps the circulatory system function better.

💡 In practice: every step you take is a gift to your heart.
Walking, moving, stretching... These are simple gestures, but fundamental to health.

❤️ Don’t forget: taking care of your legs means taking care of your heart.
