Acting head of the Ministry of Health Ulana Suprun said that sitting with crossed legs from time to time caused no harm to the human body, UNIAN reports.

It is noted that the crossed legs pose can cause a slight increase in blood pressure.

“Therefore, people who have normal blood pressure can sitting cross-legged without any serious consequences. But if the person have problems with pressure, it is better to avoid prolonged sitting in such position,” Suprun said.

It is noted that if person prefer to cross the legs in the lower leg area – this can continue to be done, since in this case the pressure does not increase.
In addition, Suprun stressed that the occurrence of varicose veins due to sitting “leg on the leg” is a myth. More precisely, when it comes to this disease, it is necessary to consider prolonged sitting or standing in one position as a whole, and not only with crossed legs, she emphasized. In addition, prolonged cross-legged sitting can also negatively affect posture.

“So, crossing your legs from time to time will not harm your body. However, you will feel it if you like to sit for a long time, lead a sedentary lifestyle and are going to keep doing so,” Suprun summed up.

As The Journalist reported, Suprun told about diet for pregnant women.
