Spring and summer is the best time to prevent varicose veins, one of the most common manifestations of venous diseases among women. How to diversify your leisure time with benefits for the well-being and health of your feet?
With the arrival of warmth, we prefer to spend the weekend in the fresh air, because the weather permits. Active rest will help not only to gain strength and get new emotions, but also to restore the tone of the veins weakened during sedentary work and passive pastime.
It is no secret that mainly women suffer from vein diseases. Genetic predisposition, lack of physical activity and wearing high-heeled shoes contribute to a decrease in venous tone and, as a result, malfunctioning of the venous valves. Healthy valves allow blood to flow upward through the vein, preventing it from flowing back. At the same time, in case of vein diseases, the valves stop working properly and begin to “pass” the blood back. Because of this, unpleasant sensations in the legs can occur: pain, swelling, heaviness and fatigue.
Experts recommend walking as the main method of preventing varicose veins. True, there are two conditions: do not be too zealous (3-4 km at a calm pace will be enough) and wear comfortable shoes (shoes with heels or with a narrow shoe prevent normal blood flow). Try to walk in parks to saturate your body with oxygen and vitamin D, which comes from sunlight. Cycling is a great addition to hiking. Why not start riding this summer mode of transport after work? Legs tired of eight hours of idleness will rise to life! In addition, the beach season will open very soon, and swimming is great for your feet. Even just standing in the water is useful – the water column puts pressure on the legs and disperses the blood stagnant in the veins. If you are relaxing on the sea, try to walk barefoot on pebbles more often – a pleasant massage and invaluable benefits for blood vessels are provided. Consolidate the result with positive lifestyle changes. Remember that smoking and fatty foods have a negative effect not only on blood vessels, but on the entire body as a whole.
In case prophylaxis no longer saves and varicose veins made themselves felt, it is worth keeping the drug in your home medicine cabinet – venotonic number 1 in the world (1). It contains a complex of five active herbal ingredients that enhance each other’s action (2). You can use the remedy from the very first symptoms of varicose veins, and a single dose ensures ease of use. not only helps to eliminate the symptoms of pain, swelling, heaviness and fatigue in the legs, but also acts on the cause of varicose veins – a decrease in venous tone (3). Due to micronization, it is better absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract, which allows the drug to act faster compared to non-micronized formulations (4). However, remember that when the first unpleasant symptoms occur, it is worthwhile to act comprehensively and make positive changes in your lifestyle!
