I thought the saying goes APRIL showers bring May flowers.. I didn't know it rained in May ð©ð© I keep seeing heavy T-storms in the area this evening, and if you were around over the weekend then you saw and heard about the massive tree damage down near Smyrna, so this line of storms is no joke.
Study says crossing legs can increase health risks. Alix Redmonde. SARASOTA, Fla. - According to a study published in the journal Blood Pressure Monitoring, sitting with your legs crossed at the knee can raise your blood pressure. The study finds leg crossing increased systolic blood pressure nearly 7% and diastolic by 2%.
The blood clot can cause pressure in the vein to become very high, which can obstruct the blood flow through the arteries, so that less oxygen is carried to the affected leg. The risk of suffering from a DVT is increased if you are over 40, very tall and/or if you are obese.
