Reasons for thick thighs, caused by 5 habits

Reasons for thick thighs, caused by 5 habits

Many women are troubled by their thick thighs. Thick thighs make clothes look bad, especially some pants that are not easy to match. Thick thighs are related to many bad habits in daily life, such as sitting often without exercise and always crossing the legs.

1. Sitting for a long time

Nowadays, many people sit on a chair all day long...it's hard not to get fat in the lower body.

When sitting, the "groin" (i.e. the groove where the abdomen and legs meet) is compressed, which causes obstruction of blood flow and lymph circulation. The obstruction of blood flow and lymphatic circulation can not only easily cause edema, but also make it easy for waste in the body to fail to decompose, causing fat and water to accumulate and form cellulite.

Therefore, it is recommended that friends with thick legs get up at least once an hour and do some stretching exercises to help stimulate blood flow and lymphatic circulation in the groin.

2. Lunch is eaten at the desk every day

Lunch time is almost the only opportunity for office workers to go outdoors. If you bring your own lunch every day or buy lunch from a convenience store and eat it at your workstation, you are effectively extending the time you spend sitting at your workstation. On the contrary, taking a walk during lunch time can not only exercise your leg muscles, but also make blood and lymph circulation smoother.

Therefore, it is recommended that friends with thick legs take some time to take a walk after a full meal.

3. Rarely go to the bathroom

In order to make themselves look plump, many female white-collar workers strictly follow the rule of drinking 8 glasses of water a day. However, considering the current work intensity of sitting all day, the body's basal metabolic rate will gradually slow down with the sitting time, resulting in fewer visits to the bathroom. If you drink a lot of water but go to the bathroom less and less frequently, it is easy to cause edema in the lower body, which will slowly turn into fat over time.

Therefore, it is recommended that friends with thick legs drink more water and go to the bathroom more often to allow the water to be fully metabolized out of the body. Walking more and doing lower body stretching exercises regularly are also good ways to effectively increase the body's basal metabolic rate.

4. Being in a low temperature environment for a long time and getting cold

People are accustomed to turning on indoor heating during cold seasons. However, few people know that according to the principle of thermal expansion and contraction, the density of the indoor air mass will decrease (become lighter) accordingly after it expands due to heat, so the warm air mass will continue to rise, and only the denser (heavier) cold air mass will remain under people's feet. If you don't take it seriously, it will cause the lower body to catch cold in the long run, and the body's blood circulation function will become worse and worse.

Therefore, it is recommended that friends with thick legs quickly pick up scarves, blankets, or hot packs to keep warm as soon as they feel cold. Otherwise, after a winter, you will tragically find that your lower body has suddenly gained a lot of weight!

5. Often cross your legs

Whether at work or after get off work, at home or in the office, many people can't help but cross their legs. Did you know that sitting cross-legged all day long will seriously hinder blood circulation in the legs and the circulation of the lymphatic system, and will cause swelling in the lower body. If you fail to take proper care of the swollen areas in time (such as massage), the veins in the lower limbs will gradually become prominent and deformed, and the metabolic circulation in the lower body will be seriously obstructed, which will eventually lead to fat thickening, thickening of the thighs, and even the leg muscles will gradually become stiff.
