What Happens When You Raise Your Legs for 5 Minutes?

Raising your legs above heart level for a few minutes can help blood flow more easily back toward the heart. This may temporarily reduce swelling in the feet and ankles, decrease pressure in the veins, and improve circulation. It's a simple position that can help tired legs feel more refreshed after long periods of standing or sitting.
