Can Clothing Affect Our Health?
In modern society, people are constantly buying new clothes. Branded clothing is extremely popular and also rather expensive. Apart from having a negative impact on our savings, can clothing also affect our health? In this article, we explore the various ways in which everyday clothing can affect our bodies and lead to more serious health issues.
We have all owned a pair of jeans that we wear even though they are too tight! However, this can have detrimental effects on your health. Tight clothes restrict the blood flow to parts of the body, meaning that your heart has to work harder. You may also be vulnerable to the development of varicose veins, where the veins swell and often ache. The tightness of clothes is particularly harmful to your legs, as it leads to numbness and even swelling of the ankles. Furthermore, they rub against the skin and break down the barrier that wards off infections. Combined with the fact that tighter clothes encourage sweat and the presence of bacteria, this means that you may be at risk of developing skin conditions.
Tight clothes on the upper half of your body restrict your breathing, and put pressure on the respiratory system. As a result of this, your cells and organs may not receive enough oxygen, leaving you feeling tired or lacking in energy. The quality of your skin may also suffer, as the cells are not oxygenated and cannot repair.
More serious effects of tight clothing include problems with digestion. This is especially prevalent for people who sport Shapewear, which constricts the organs and impairs their function. In these cases, it takes longer to digest food, leading to constipation and indigestion. Acid is sometimes pushed up into the oesophagus, causing acid reflux. You may also suffer from further pain in your muscles and bones, particularly if you wear tight trousers. This puts strain onto your hips and pelvis, making them work harder to carry your body weight. In extreme cases, people suffer from nerve damage and feel a tingling sensation that occurs after they have removed the clothes.
We hope that this will make you think twice about your fashion choices! Although you might look good, it is not worth risking your health and future complications to wear an outfit. Remember, part of looking good is feeling comfortable in what you are wearing!
If you would like to get rid of fat in areas that are hard to target through diet and lifestyle, consider our Radio Frequency Fat-Melting treatment. The radio frequency waves produce heat to disrupt fat cells as well as tightening the skin.

Although the Hifu facial is a little uncomfortable, Roseanne was excellent, explaining the whole process. She was extremely knowledgeable and put me at ease. I can see the results already. I’ll definitely be back. I had my first treatment of aqualyx on my stomach area and found the treatment perfect. There was little to no pain and sapphire was really helpful when answering my questions and gave really good advice and service. I would definitely recommend this clinic for treatments. Thank you to Yolanda and Rosanne, plasma performed , I have had this done in other clinics, but the knowledge and respect I received from these two ladies , I cannot praise them highly enough, thank you girls Rebecca was lovely throughout my treatment…very good at her job! Thank you! This is my second time at Vivo and I am super happy with my treatments.
This time around I had the pleasure of having Diana as my therapist and she was amazing. She explained everything in a simple and detailed way, allowed me to feel part of my treatment, recommended additional treatments with no pressure, and made me feel really at home.
When you are getting these kind of treatments it is very personal and you need to feel comfortable with your therapist and feel they know what they are doing.
Well my treatments were done over 2 plus hours and Diana really showed her expertise in the business of beauty. Sharing some of her previous experience and making me feel even more at ease.
Vivo has great prices and amazing people. In a neat, clean and welcoming space.
Highly recommended.
Thanks for everything Diana, I’ll be back again soon :)
JB. Sapphire is a highly skilled and professional therapist with a warm and friendly demeanor. She possesses extensive knowledge and has a strong reputation for providing safe and reliable care. I've undergone several treatments with her, including a recent Morpheus8 procedure, and I can't praise her enough! So far I had 2 sessions with Sapphire. She is a wonderful consultant. Friendly and professional. Very knowledgeable in the work she does.Definitely I would recommend Sapphire. I have booked more treatments with her. First time explained very well in detail by Shaymma would definitely recommend. First time for me to have fat freezing done . I recently had a treatment in Birmingham with Sandra. Sandra was fabulous and very professional, she talked me through my facial and answered all questions i had. The clinic was very clean with high standards, very friendly and welcoming. I would not hesitate recommending this VIVO Clinic.
Great value, great consultants and very professional.
