Varicose veins.Prevention, food and gymnastics

The doctor examines the patient's leg

In the early stages, the disease rarely worries patients.However, the presence of advanced veins, even if they do not yet worry, already carries a great risk to life, as the most dangerous complication can occur at any moment -Thrombophlebitis.

With varicose veins, damaged valves allow the blood to penetrate the surface venous system, as a result of which there is an increase in pressure, which leads to their expansion.The blood flow slows down, the strength of oxygen tissue decreases, ulcers occur.

Causes of the disease:

  • inheritance;Hereditary vascular weakness
  • Long static loads
  • A sedentary lifestyle
  • Taking hormonal medicines and hormonal disorders
  • gestation
  • Injuries
  • Removing severity, overload (for example, unexpected start of active training after years of inactive living)
  • smoking

At riskPeople come in the same way both young and old people:

  • Those who wear high heels;
  • athletes whose class is associated with a large load of legs (tennis, heavy athletics, bodybuilding construction);
  • The profession makes you standing during the work day, to be at the wheel, computer hairdressers, sellers, teachers, waiters and representatives of other professions that spend a lot of time standing;
  • "Sitting" professions and those who really like to throw their foot on their feet;
  • Fans of coffee and alcohol because these products dehydrate the body and thus thicken the blood, complicating its path back to the heart.

How to know the disease:

If by the end of the work day you feel the severity on your feet, and your favorite shoes are made due to light edema, then these are the first signs.Periodically occurring seizures, caviar pain should also be put into the air.

Changes in veins usually start with small eyes - with the appearance of vascular stars.

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

Food and diet

Diet for varicose veins is a maximum of vegetables and fruits, a minimum salty and smoked.Diet with a low content of animal protein, refined fats and carbohydrates.Blood thickens from acute foods, 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 Papuans and peoples of the Far East, who prefer vegetarian food, never suffer from the disease.

Include fish, fresh fruits and vegetables, fiber -rich foods, with a high vitamin C content, diet routine.From plant products, everything is useful.The principle of ABC is valuable here, where A is carrot, B is a leaf salad, and C is greens and citrus.Two most important vitamins should be added to this list, strengthening the ship walls.This is vitamin E, which contains olive oil, and vitamin P, which is part of nuts, green tea and roses.Vitamins C and E are components of collagen - connective tissue of veins and venous valves.At a surprise, the veins are surprisingly enriched with the necessary nutrients and make those more elastic grains germinate in wheat and rye, as well as peas, beans and green onions.Garlic is a special place.

Scientists have proven that garlic has a beneficial effect on the blood.This is manifested in preventing formation in blood clots - blood clots that make it difficult or overlap the blood.

If we summarize nearly thirty scientific experiments, during which the effect of garlic was checked on blood viscosity, then it can be briefly determined: If you take garlic for a certain period of time, you can expect an increase in the level of intravascular clouds by 50%.In addition to the contribution to the resorption of blood clots in the blood, garlic also does not allow platelets to grow and compact, and, consequently, to form blood clots.

Eat 2-3 garlic cloves with food daily.This helps lower blood pressure, cleaning atherosclerotic deposit vessels, strengthen their walls and prevent varicose veins, etc.

Prevention:

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

  • Do not be kept with hot bathsSauna, long stay in the sun.All of the above reduces venous tone, leading to blood stagnation in the lower extremities.
  • Move more.To strengthen the veins and improve blood circulation will help regular sports.Aerobics, jogging, moderate fashionable swimming contributes to the healing of your veins.
  • Lowers weight.People suffering from overweight are particularly sensitive to such a disease.In the blood vessels of the full person there is more blood than that of a person of normal weight, so such vessels are a lot of load.We can only give advice to overweight people in such a situation - lose weight and keep their weight constantly normal.
  • Don't wear tight clothes, socks and socks with tight elastic strips, as this leads to squeezing the veins.But supporting tangas and socks helps to prevent varicose veins.
  • Alternate the load evenly, never remaining for a long time in the same position.
  • Don't sit on your leg!When throwing one knee to another, there is a barrier to the path of blood flow.
  • MoveVaricose veins can cause prolonged stay, as in this case the normal blood flow is disturbed.Try to move your weight if you have to stay for a long time.Long -term landing will also not benefit you: Try to get up and move around the room from time to time or walk every half hour.
  • Morning exercise.Before you go to bed and in the morning after wakeing up for 3-5 minutes, distorting your feet and feet - this improves blood circulation to the lower extremities.
  • Don't wear heelAnd shoes.
  • Pour the feet with cold waterAfter work.
  • Continue in more dewand the edge of the reservoirs during the summer.

If you are not sick with varicose veins, but only predisposed to it, for prevention, daily self-massage will be useful, soft strokes and cooking your feet from the bottom.

If the diagnosis of "varicose veins" has already been made, the foot 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 at night in the evening after a day of work, during sleep and resting your feet should be kept in high condition.When you rest, read the book, watch TV - throw your feet higher.You can put a pillow or high roller.

If your work is accompanied by a long place on the table or you are staying for a long time, then you often need to change your leg position, walk in place, rotate your legs.

After showering or bathroom adoption, rinse your feet with cold water.There are sports that are useful with this disease - this is, first of all, swimming, as well as walking, light running, cycling, skiing.

Healing and therapeutic gymnastics:

The daily performance of special exercises will be very useful:

  1. Get up in socks.Starting positions - we stand straight, the feet are parallel to each other and press them one to the other.At the expense of once - go to the socks, at the expense of both - go down to the starting position.Repeat 20-30 times.
  2. Raising (socks - away).Initial positions - we stand straight, heel - together, socks - away.At the expense of once - go to the socks, at the expense of both - go down to the starting position.Repeat 20-30 times.
  3. Get up (heel - except).Initial positions - we stand straight, socks - together, heel - away.In this position at the expense of once - go to the socks, at the expense of both - subtract to the starting position.Repeat 20-30 times.
  4. Another useful exercise is "bicycles" from the stretch position on the back.It is very important - when doing this exercise, head your feet to the end.

You can do these simple exercises, even do daily business (when cooking porridge or staying in Xerox in the office).Be healthy!
