eli5 how do compression stockings help your body while flying on an airplane? And is it just older people that should be wearing them?
In: 1021
It’s not about the airplane, it’s about sitting for hours on end. It helps with circulation because if you sit for too long, it could cause a blood clot due to circulation being cut off. The compression stocking helps prevent it. Anyone with poor circulation or thick blood should wear them.
