How can i prevent varicose veins?

Question

i'm afraid of having varicose veins, so as early as now i want to know how to prevent it.

Answer 1

Varicose veins run in families and are more common in women.
Besides heredity, what brings on problems?

Sometimes varicose veins first occur during pregnancy because of hormonal changes and increased pressure in the veins caused by the expanding uterus.

Obesity, menopause, aging, constipation and repeated abdominal strain, as well as heavy lifting, may contribute.

Long periods of standing and sitting with the legs bent and crossed make them worse.

Preventive measures against Varicose Veins:

1.Along with a high fiber diet and regular exercise, the use of cayenne, garlic, onion, ginger, and bromelain are suggested.
constipation is one of the leading causes of varicose veins, although it may initially be hard to see the connection. Constipation may restrict the blood as it returns to the torso through the deep veins in the legs. Straining to have a bowel movement closes off these veins. As the blood backs up it takes another course through superficial veins, thus the blue streaks in the legs. A diet low in fat and high in fiber is best for promoting regularity: reorganize your diet to include plenty of low-fat foods, grains, fresh fruit and vegetables. A diet tending towards vegan/raw-food generally satisfies all these requirements; vegetarians should watch their fat intake.

2.Also, flavonoids are useful in strengthening connective tissue (especially capillaries). They help keep tissues from falling apart.

3.The anthocyanidins and proanthocyanidins should be supplemented as they are the strongest acting of the flavonoids. Rutin has only a little collagen-stabilizing effect.

4.Since increasing the integrity of the wall of the vein may also reduce the risk of developing varicose veins, it appears that flavonoid-rich berries, such as hawthorne berries, cherries, blueberries, and blackberries are beneficial in the prevention and treatment of varicose veins. These berries are very rich sources of proanthocyanidins and anthocyanidins.

5. Aerobic exercise- benefit for the circulatory system
6. Stretching exercise, e.g. yoga
7. Low fat diet

Answer 3

You can't prevent varicose veins from forming. However, you can prevent the ones you have from getting worse. You also can take steps to delay other varicose veins from forming.

Avoid standing or sitting for long periods without taking a break. When sitting, avoid crossing your legs. Keep your legs raised when sitting, resting, or sleeping. When you can, raise your legs above the level of your heart.

Answer 4

You can't prevent varicose veins & they occur in women of all ages. I started getting varicose veins at the age of 22. I am very active but probably prone due to genetics. To help prevent as many, don't cross your legs while sitting, support hose, exercise, & try not standing for long periods of time.

Answer 5

You can prevent the variscose veins in your legs (you can get them anywhere) my not crossing your legs or sitting in one position for too long; keeping your weight normal and getting some moderate exercise. Usually we women get varicose veins from pregnancies. The blood pools up and damages the valves in the vein and it starts to balloon. Sitting in cars and airplanes can take it's toll also. Just get out and take a little walk up and down the isles or stop and walk every couple of hours or so. If you're young, you have lots of time to keep those veins healthy. Godloveya.

Answer 6

Varicose veins—gnarled, dilated blood vessels that occur most frequently in the legs—affect about half of the adult population of the United States. They are generally caused by pressure in the veins that, over time, weakens the vessel walls. For most people, varicose veins and spider veins (their smaller, capillary-based cousins) are merely unsightly nuisances, but they can also make walking and standing extremely painful, and in extreme cases, they can cause skin ulcers. While there is no sure way to prevent the formation of varicose veins, there are a number of things you can do to decrease your chances of getting them.

Answer 7

Varicose veins often occur in older people, they're caused by blood pooling in the leg veins due to long periods of inactivity. The condition can also be passed down genetically. The best way to avoid them is to remain active and sit with your feet raised.
