Beat the Heat While You Boost Blood Flow

Nothing sounds more stifling than the idea of wearing compression garments during the hot summer months. However, there are a lot of options you can take to make wearing compression more bearable. Using one of these tips will help you beat the heat and improve your circulation during the summer. Since for some, wearing compression wear is a medical necessity, this comes as a relief.

ShopThuasne offers a variety of compression garments in different fashionable lengths and styles. If your doctor gives you the okay, you can choose a shorter style than you’re used to wearing. For example, thigh highs or knee highs instead of waist-highs. The less skin that is covered, the easier it can be to stay cool.

Many people spend a lot of time outside during the summer. Being able to stay healthy and keep your blood flowing will help you to enjoy the summer and its elevated temperatures. One option for keeping you cool is open-toe. Open-toe styles are great to wear with sandals or flats. These garments feature moisture wicking fibers that wick moisture away from the skin, keeping you cool and comfortable all summer long.

While wearing compression socks helps to alleviate swelling and poor circulation, it can also help to speed your recovery time after a strenuous walk or workout. Gradient compression crew socks are a great option to help prevent swelling and energize legs.  

Summer is a time to travel and be with family. Travel often requires long periods of time in the air or on the road. When we sit for long and extended periods of time, this can increase the likelihood of developing a blood clot. Wearing compression can help to decrease the risks associated with the formation of blood clots.

Compression also helps to reduce swelling due to sitting for extended periods of time, especially on an airplane. Sitting in the same position for an extended period of time time also increases the pressure on the veins in your legs. Making sure to get up and move around on your flight and wearing compression can help to alleviate this or prevent poor circulation from occurring.

As the temperatures rise, tending to our outdoor responsibilities come to the forefront. Wearing compression wear while you work in the yard or garden, or work on home repairs or maintenance will not only keep your blood flowing but will also protect you from the sun’s harmful rays.

Another important factor in staying cool and keeping your blood flowing in the summer is drinking plenty of water. Staying hydrated will help replenish lost fluids. Drinking enough water, especially in the summer, is crucial to regulating your body temperature. It also helps to keep your joints lubricated, improve circulation, and will help keep you comfortable in higher temperatures.

We all know the importance of following doctors’ orders to maintain good health. If your physician recommends compression legwear, look to Ease and Core-Spun for compression legwear designed to keep you cool and supported.
