Do you know the three major hazards of crossing your legs? People who have read this said that this is troublesome!

When you see this title, if you are crossing your legs, please put them down immediately.

The crossing of legs mentioned here does not mean that there will be problems as long as you cross your legs. If you cross your right leg over your left leg for three to five minutes, there will be no problem. What we are talking about here is that if you cross your legs for a long time, with your right leg over your left leg, for one or two hours, do you think there will be problems?

Today we will introduce the harmful effects of crossing your legs for a long time on your body. I hope you can forward this article to your friends who often cross their legs.

Nerve compression affects blood circulation

When you cross your legs, there is a cross point between the two legs, which is pressurized against each other. If the compressed part remains motionless for a long time, it will affect the normal blood circulation.

Let me give you an example. It's like you want to water a flower garden, and you use a hose to release water. At this time, someone steps on a part of the hose. If you step lightly, the water flow will become smaller, and if you step hard, the water flow will disappear. It's the same in our lives. If the blood vessels and nerves are compressed, the blood circulation will stop, and the legs will become numb.

So you can't maintain the same posture of crossing your legs for a long time. You need to move around when you have time.

Causes spinal deformity

Our body structure is symmetrical, with the spine in the middle of our body. It should be straight when viewed from the front and S-shaped when viewed from the side. However, if you cross your legs, your body will be crooked, and the force will be uneven, which will lead to C-shaped scoliosis, and in severe cases, bone and joint diseases such as lumbar disc herniation.

Severe spinal deformity can also compress our internal organs. If you often have waist and back pain, check whether you often cross your legs in your life. If so, try to avoid it.

Leading to high incidence of diseases in women

Many people may not understand how it is related to women's issues.

The temperature is rising, which provides a favorable living environment for many bacteria and viruses. It is also the season when female diseases are prevalent. If you have the habit of crossing your legs, it will contribute to the high incidence of female diseases. When you cross your legs, your body temperature will rise, providing a breeding ground for bacteria.

In addition, this posture will hinder the blood circulation in the female pelvis, which may lead to inflammation and infection. If you have dysmenorrhea, crossing your legs will also increase your pain.

If you feel comfortable with your legs crossed, you should move around from time to time to restore your blood circulation and avoid related diseases.
