It is well known that the best remedy against diseases is preventive measures. For a person who is not used to maintaining a balanced diet and sports activities, maintaining a healthy lifestyle can present an incredible difficulty, which requires considerable effort to overcome. New habits of introducing all-new life are necessary gradually, then they can become something more natural for you.
Avoid hypodynamia
Many people think that they lead an active lifestyle, because they work 10 hours in the office, then sit behind the wheel, come home and have a good dinner ... Stress or mania work and a physically active lifestyle, favorable to health, are completely different things.
It is completely improbable that a high percentage of people who describe themselves as "active", in fact, lead a sedentary lifestyle. This is one of the main reasons that can cause the appearance of leg disease and aggravate the course of venous insufficiency.
The best preventive treatment that can be used in this case are walking tours lasting at least 30 minutes a day. It is not necessary to force yourself to run on huge stations. It will be enough that you replace the movements on the car with walking by the pooch. Thus, you will train the mechanism of the venous sole, which responds to the first impulse of the blood to return to the heart.
Put out your last cigarette
In addition to the danger that tobacco presents for the circulatory system, there are many reasons to quit smoking. As for the system of interest, the tobacco is a big enemy of collagen, an important element necessary for the normal functioning of the walls of the vessels. Tobacco destroys collagen, which is the main part of the structure of the walls of the vessels, and as a result, leads to their hardening. The lack of flexibility prevents the possibility of adapting veins to the bloodstream, and it becomes slower.
Second hand smoke
Became less widespread assertion that tobacco smoke allegedly does not harm the health of a passive smoker. But this is not so. Therefore, ask your partner, family members, friends and colleagues to let you breathe air that does not contain tobacco. Here are a few arguments in case the acquaintances look at vassing or with displeasure.
- A passive smoker breathes smoke, the so-called secondary flow, which contains 3-4 times more nicotine than in the smoke inhaled by the smoker himself.
- We can assume that a passive smoker smoked 2-3 cigarettes if he was exposed to tobacco smoke for an hour.
- The probability of occurrence of circulatory disturbances in a passive smoker is approximately 30% greater than in a person who is free from the effects of harmful smoke.
With responsibility approach to the choice of clothing
The fact that the veins swell indicates the need for more space to facilitate the movement of blood to the heart. The veins are stretched out because of the excessive internal pressure, and the blood can not circulate in the tacoma and with such speed as it should. Therefore, in any case, do not wear too close stockings, socks or shoes, because these are external factors hindering the crotch. Think about the fact that these expensive elegant shoes in the future can serve as the cause of venous insufficiency.
Let's rest our feet
Venous insufficiency is a consequence of the fact that the blood on the way to the heart has a lot of obstacles. A very simple way to prevent the disease and to alleviate its symptoms is to lift your legs upward at any convenient opportunity and keep them in this position for a while. Thus, you will compensate the law of gravity. For example, while you are sitting, raise your legs to a nearby chair, and lying in bed, place under the feet of the puffs so as to provide a strong slope, moving from the legs towards the heart.
Tip: do not comb the veins
Varicose veins cause a lot of anxiety, as it causes the appearance of puffiness burning sensation. Often, people start, trying, at least for a while, to relieve these symptoms. It is very important that you never comb the places in which the dilated veins are observed, because the skin in these zones is usually very thin, hence, it is likely that it will cover with ulcers and begin to bleed.
Influence of the ambient temperature on the legs
Hot weather usually exacerbates the symptoms of diseases caused by venous insufficiency, causing the veins to become weak and flaccid. Therefore, in summer, people suffering from the symptom of tired legs complain that their legs swell and hurt worse than before.
In the most fierce months of the year it is desirable to wear thin and comfortable clothes from natural fabrics, and also several times a day to make cold foot baths.
Syndrome of tired legs, varicose veins ... cellulite
In many people who suffer from a syndrome of tired legs and varicose veins, there is also cellulite. can be explained as follows: both these problems can be caused by one and the same destructive habits - a sedentary lifestyle, malnutrition, smoking, etc. It is explained as follows: both these problems can be caused by one and the same disastrous habits - a sedentary lifestyle, malnutrition, smoking, etc. However, its appearance is not connected with venous insufficiency. In fact, cellulite is an inflammation that occurs in the tissue layer of the tissue, triggered by the invasion of microbes. So, it's about an infectious disease that causes redness, swelling, not counting the characteristic kind of skin that can later become a serious cosmetic defect.
Recommendations for pregnant women
In most cases, pregnancy provokes the debut of circulatory disorders, which until then remained unnoticed. As a rule, the obvious symptoms of intact insufficiency become noticeable, beginning with the fourth month of pregnancy, and first of all it is small dilations of the veins on the legs. In the next months, the "stars" increase, and discomfort increases.
Many pregnant women even before the appearance of such symptoms begin to fear that the disease will go into a chronic form. In principle, this should not occur. It was found that the field of childbirth in 8 cases out of 10 all symptoms are weakened. The thing is that often pregnancy aggravates the course or promotes the rapid development of the initial stage of venous insufficiency, which persists after birth.
Therefore, pregnant women should keep in mind that one should not engage in self-medication, even to ease the symptoms of "simple" veins. In any case, you can contact a specialist to prescribe suitable medications or creams and recommend exercises to eliminate unpleasant sensations. The simplest and most effective of them is to sit down and put your feet, for example, on a chair.
