In the early stages, the disease rarely distributes patients.However, the presence of advanced veins, even if you don't worry yet, already carries a great danger to life, because at any moment the most dangerous complication can arise -thrombophlebitis.
With varicose veins, damaged valves allow blood to penetrate the venous surface system as a result of which there is an increase in pressure, which leads to its expansion.Blood flow decreases, the power of oxygen tissues decreases, the ulcers occur.
Causes of the disease:
- heredity;Hereditary weakness of blood vessels
- Long static loads
- A sedentary lifestyle
- Taking hormonal drugs and hormonal disorders
- pregnancy
- Lesions on the legs
- Raising gravity, overload (for example, sudden start of active training after several years of inactive lifestyle)
- smoke
At riskPeople come the same as young and elderly:
- Those who use high heels;
- athletes whose classes are associated with a large load of the leg (sneakers, heavy athletics, bodybuilding);
- The profession makes you stand during the business day to be on the wheel, computer hairdressers, salespeople, teachers, waiters and representatives of other professions that spend a long time;
- "Sitting" professions and those who really like to throw their feet;
- Coffee and alcohol fans, because these products dehydrate their body and thus thicken the blood, complicating their way back to the heart.
How to recognize the disease:
If, at the end of work, you feel the gravity in your legs and your favorite shoes have become tight due to light edema, these are the first signs.Periodically seizures that occur, caviar pain should also alert.
Changes in the veins usually start with the small eye - with the appearance of vascular stars.
In the future, irreversible processes occur in large veins, they reach the surface, their walls in some places get thinner and seem tied.
Food and Diet
The diet for varicose veins is the maximum of vegetables and fruits, a minimum of salty and smoked.Low -protein diet of animal proteins, fats and refined carbohydrates.The blood thickens of acute foods, which leads to the formation of blood clots.Vodka, brandy and whiskey act the same way.It is recommended to eat as little meat as possible.No wonder Papuanos and the people of the Far East who prefer vegetarian foods never suffer from this disease.
Include fresh fish, fruits and vegetables, fiber -rich foods, high vitamin C content, dietary routine.Of plant products, everything is useful.The principle of ABC is valid here, where A is carrot, B is a leaf salad and C is of citrus vegetables and fruits.Two most important vitamins should be added to this list, strengthening the walls of the vessels.This is vitamin E, which is contained in olive oil and vitamin P, which is part of walnuts, green tea and roseiras.Vitamins C and E are collagen components - connective veins and venous valves.In surprise, the veins are surprisingly enriched with the necessary nutrients and make them more elastic wheat grains and rye, as well as peas, beans and green onions.Garlic is a special place.
Scientists have proved that garlic has a beneficial effect on the blood.This manifests itself in preventing the formation in the vessels of blood clots - blood clots that make it difficult or overlap with the blood.
If we boil down almost thirty scientific experiments, during which the effect of garlic on blood viscosity has been verified, it can be determined soon to the following: If you take garlic for a certain period of time, you can expect an increase in the level of intravascular cloud dissipation by 50%.In addition to contributing to the reabsorption of blood clots in the blood, garlic does not allow thrombocytes to increase and compact and therefore form blood clots.
Eat 2-3 garlic cloves with food daily.This helps reduce blood pressure, clean atherosclerotic deposit vessels, strengthen their walls and prevent varicose veins, etc.
Prevention:
If you have the initial signs of varicose veins, compliance with quite simple rules will decrease and, in some cases, to avoid its additional development.
- Don't get excited with hot bathsSauna, long stay in the sun.All of this reduces venous tone, leads to blood stagnation at the lower ends.
- Move more.Strengthening veins and improving blood circulation will help regular sports.Aerobic, race, moderate swimming contributes to the healing of their veins.
- Reduce weight.People who suffer overweight are especially susceptible to this disease.In the blood vessels of the full person, there is more blood than a person with normal weight, so these ships represent a lot of load.We can only give advice to overweight people in such a situation - to lose weight and keep their weight constantly normal.
- Do not wear tight clothes, half and socks with tight elastic bands, as this leads to squeeze veins.But supporting fair pants and socks help prevent varicose veins.
- Alternate the load evenlynever staying for a long time in the same position.
- Don't feel at your foot!When throwing one knee into another, one obstacle is created on the path of blood flow.
- Move.Varicose veins can cause prolonged position, as in this case the normal blood flow is disturbed.Try to move the weight if you need to resist for a long time.The long -term session will not benefit you either: try to get up and move around the room from time to time or walk every half hour.
- Exercise in the morning.Before going to bed and in the morning after waking up for 3-5 minutes, twisting the legs and feet - this improves blood circulation at the lower ends.
- Do not use heelsAnd tight shoes.
- Pour your legs with cold waterAfter work.
- Go to Dew Moreand the edge of the reservoirs in summer.
If you are not sick with varicose veins, but only predisposed to it, for prevention, daily self-massage will be useful, with soft strokes and kneading the legs of the background.
If the diagnosis of “varicose veins” is already done, leg massage procedures are prohibited!
Lack of physical exercise and chronic constipation are factors that contribute to the development of varicose veins.
If you feel the severity of night of the night after a business day, during sleep and rest, the legs should be kept in high condition.When resting, read the book, watch the TV - throw your legs higher.You can put a tall pillow or roll.
If your work is accompanied by a long seat at the table or you are standing for a long time, then you should change the position of your legs more frequently, get in place, turn your feet.
After bathing or adopting the bath, rinse your legs with cold water.There are sports that are useful with this disease - this is, first and foremost, swimming, and walking, easy running, bicycle, skiing.

- Rise (socks - separate).Initial positions - We get straight, jumps - together, socks - separated.At the expense at once - go up to the socks, at the expense of two - go down to the starting position.Repeat 20-30 times.
