Скачать или смотреть Over 60? 7 Bedtime Fixes That Drain Leg and Ankle Swelling Overnight | Senior Health Tips

Swollen legs and ankles at night are very common after 60, but simple bedtime fixes can help fluid drain so you wake up lighter and more comfortable. This description is tuned to your title and audience, with education plus a strong reason to watch through.

If you’re over 60 and your legs or ankles balloon by evening, your body is trying to tell you something. This video reveals 7 powerful bedtime fixes that help drain trapped fluid from your legs and ankles overnight so you can wake up with less swelling, less pain, and more energy to walk, stand, and live your day. These tips are simple, gentle, and senior‑friendly—no fancy equipment, no pills, and no extreme routines.

You’ll learn exactly how to elevate your legs the right way (including ideal height, position, and time) so gravity finally works for you instead of against you. The video shows how to use pillows or the end of your bed to get your feet above heart level, plus a 5‑minute “leg pump” routine you can do in bed to move fluid out of your ankles and calves. You’ll also see how adjusting evening salt intake, timing your last big glass of water, and using light compression (when appropriate and approved by your doctor) can dramatically reduce nighttime swelling.

We walk through seven specific bedtime habits: a simple ankle and toe movement sequence, gentle calf stretches, smart leg elevation, footwear and sock mistakes to avoid, how to position your body when lying down, and when to use cool or warm compresses. You’ll also learn when swelling is NOT normal—such as one‑sided swelling, sudden pain, redness, or shortness of breath—and why those signs mean you must seek medical help immediately, not just try home remedies.

This video is especially important if your shoes feel tight by evening, your socks leave deep marks, or your legs feel heavy, tight, and restless in bed. With a few small, consistent changes to your bedtime routine, you can help your body drain excess fluid naturally, protect your veins, and wake up with lighter, more comfortable legs and ankles after 60.
