What makes blood return to your heart from your feet against the force of gravity?

One major factor is the contraction of leg muscles during movement, which helps push blood back to the heart. Additionally, one-way valves in the veins prevent the backflow of blood and help maintain the upward flow towards the heart. Finally, the pressure changes in the chest during breathing act to assist in drawing blood back to the heart from the veins in the lower body.
