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%.
This causes the venous blood pressure to increase and can stress the valves in the veins. Like crossing the legs, wearing heels can contribute to the overall venous reflux disease problem. You do not have to stop crossing your legs or wearing heels, but you should be aware of what you are doing.
