I read that I should keep my ankles elevated above my heart.
Of course I cant keep my legs above my heart at my work desk, but I can keep them propped on a stool. This would keep them a few inches LOWER than my knees when I am sitting at my desk.

Would keepin my legs only slightly elevated have any value?
