Varicose veins.Prevention, nutrition and gymnastics

The doctor examines the patient's leg

In the initial phase, the disease rarely disturbs the patients.The presence of advanced veins, even if they do not yet take care of it, is already at a great danger, since the most dangerous complications can occur at any time -Thrombophlebitis.

With varicose veins, damaged flaps let the blood penetrate into the surface vein system, with pressure increasing, which leads to its expansion.The blood flow slows down, the power of tissues with oxygen decreases, ulcers occur.

Causes of the disease:

  • Inheritance;Hereditary weakness of blood vessels
  • Long static loads
  • A sitting lifestyle
  • Taking hormonal drugs and hormonal disorders
  • pregnancy
  • Leg injuries
  • Lift severity, overload (for example sudden start of active training after several years of inactive lifestyle)
  • Smoke

EndangeredPeople come both young and older people in the same way:

  • Those who wear high heels;
  • Athletes whose classes are associated with a large leg load (tennis, heavy athletics, bodybuilding);
  • During the working day, the job lets you stand on your feet, at the wheel, computer hairdressers, sellers, teachers, waiters and representatives of other professions who spend a lot of time while standing.
  • "Sit" and those who really like to throw their foot on their feet;
  • Fans of coffee and alcohol because these products dehydrate the body and thereby thicken the blood and make its way back to the heart.

How to recognize the disease:

If you feel the heaviness in your legs at the end of the working day and your favorite shoes have become tight due to the light edema, then these are the first signs.Caviar pain should also be attentive at regular intervals.

Changes in the veins usually start with a small eye - with the appearance of vascular windows.

In the future, irreversible processes will appear in large veins, they will come to the surface, their walls become thinner in some places and they look nodet.

Food and nutrition

The diet for varicose veins is maximum vegetables and fruit, a minimum of salty and smoked.Diet with a low content of animal protein, fat and sophisticated carbohydrates.The blood thickens through acute food, which leads to the formation of blood clots.Vodka, cognac and whiskey act similarly.It is recommended to eat as little meat as possible.No wonder that the Papua and the peoples of the Far East, who prefer vegetarian food, never suffer from this disease.

To the fish, fresh fruits and vegetables, fibers that are rich in fiber, with a high content of vitamin C, the routine in nutrition.Everything is useful from plant products.The principle of ABC applies here, with a carrot, B a leaf salad and C are green and citrus fruits.In this list, two important vitamins should be added that strengthen the walls of the ships.This is vitamin E, which is contained in olive oil and vitamin P, which is part of walnuts, green tea and pouring hips.Vitamins C and E are part of the collagen connective tissue of veins and venous flaps.Surprisingly, the veins are surprisingly enriched with the necessary nutrients and make more elastic grains of wheat and rye as well as peas, beans and green onions.Garlic is a special place.

Scientists have proven that garlic has an advantageous influence on the blood.This can be seen in the prevention of education in the vessels of blood clots - blood clots that make it difficult or overlap the blood.

If we summarize almost thirty scientific experiments in which the effect of garlic has been checked on blood viscosity, this can be briefly determined as follows: If you take a certain period of time for a certain period of time, you can expect an increase in the derivation level of the intravascular steps by 50%.The garlic not only contributes to the absorption of blood clots in the blood, but also does not allow that thrombocytes increase and become more compact and therefore form blood clots.

Eat 2-3 cloves of garlic with food every day.This helps reduce blood pressure, clean the vessels of atherosclerotic deposits, strengthen your walls and prevent varicose veins, etc.

Prevention:

If you have the initial signs of varicose veins, compliance with the rather simple rules will slow down and in some cases avoid further development.

  • Don't let yourself be carried away with hot bathsSauna, long stay in the sun.All above reduces the venous sound and leads to a bleeding stagnation in the lower extremities.
  • Move more.Regular sport will help to strengthen the veins and improve blood circulation.Aerobics, running, swimming in moderate mode contribute to healing your veins.
  • Reduce weight.People who suffer from overweight are particularly susceptible to such a disease.In the blood vessels of the full person there is more blood than that of a person with normal weight, so that such vessels blame too much load.In such a situation, we can only give people with overweight to lose weight and keep their weight normal.
  • Do not wear tight clothes, Stocking and socks with narrow elastic ribbons, as this leads to veins.However, the support of tights and stockings helps prevent varicose veins.
  • Switch off the load evenly, never stay in the same position for long.
  • Don't sit on your foot!If you throw a knee on another, an obstacle is generated on the way of blood flow.
  • Move.Varicose veins can cause a longer reputation, since in this case the normal blood flow is disturbed.Try to move the weight if you have to stand for a long time.Long -term seats do not benefit either: try to get up from time to time and move in the room or go every half an hour.
  • Exercise in the morning.Before going to bed and in the morning, after he woke up for 3-5 minutes and twisted the legs and feet - this improves blood flow to the lower extremities.
