The dangers of tight clothing

According to José Santos, general secretary of the Professional College of Physiotherapists of the Community of Madrid, the problem is the continuous use of this type of clothing and although each one can have their own style in the dress, it must be taken into account that he can haverepercussions on our health.

"Everything is not to commit excesses and occasionally intersperse and give rest to the body, leave at home that the body is oxygen. Sometimes it becomes evident in the marks of the clothing when we undress, of the sock, of the pants, there arethan looking for a middle ground, the main thing is to be comfortable and have freedom of movements. "

Santos points some of the aspects in which dressing clothes too tight can cause our health disorders:

1. It makes blood and lymphatic circulation difficult: the skin that is a living organ that needs oxygen and eliminate waste substances cannot do so.The venous return is difficult and the lymphatic system is in compression, which leads to fluid retention and to swell their legs.

Internal and external varicose veins may appear due to a bad reflux.Toxins accumulate and cellulite appears, fat panicles due to poor microcirculation in the area that also causes swelling.

2. Favor the gastroesophageal reflux: when tightening the stomach area with the waist of tight pants, the function of the lower esophageal sphincter can be affected and let the stomach acid.

3. It affects the respiratory system: the costal grill cannot be expanded and the abdominal breathing and diaphragm muscle that helps the lungs to expel carbon dioxide well does not perform its work well.As a result, cells do not oxygen well and have premature aging derived from bad and abdominal breathing.

4. Gynecological and Urological Alterations: Too tight garments can cause friction on the skin and a lack of perspiration that causes more moisture in the area of the genitals and there is more risk of fungi and candidiasis in women.In men, the quantity and quality of the sperm can be affected and even testicular pain occurs.These tight garments also contribute their excessive use to the appearance or aggravation of hemorrhoids.

5. Back problems: Those men who must dress in suit and tie may suffer from a decrease in blood circulation towards their heads and this cause headaches, cervical pain and trapezoid, since the neck is very tight because perhaps it has not been chosenWell the size of the shirt neck.In the case of women, tight pants can compress nerves that go to the thigh and cause pain and swelling.

In these cases you have to try to take breaks from the neck of the shirt and the tie, choose the neck size and perform exercises to improve the venous return."Any exercise that increases blood circulation such as walking, stretching or at least changing posture and moving help."

6. Restriction in the freedom of movements: having the musculature constrained by clothing is performed on aesference to mobilize and lift legs or arms, which overloads the organism.

7. Press or bad underwear: In the case of fasteners there are shoulder problems when the straps have to endure a lot of weight if the chest is large and pathologies can be extended to cervicals, arm orcostal level and generate contractures in this musculature.
