Cellulite, varicose veins, heavy, flabby legs — this is not just about appearance, it’s physiology. Your body is a system of flow, and blood and lymph must move constantly. When you sit or stand for long periods, this flow slows down. Venous return decreases. Blood has to travel upward against gravity, and the key mechanism that helps it is your calves. Your calves are your second heart. Every contraction pushes blood upward, back to the heart. When there is not enough movement, blood stagnates.
