This
report is about getting rid of
varicose veins and I hope it will
be helpful to you. -
Bob
As I was
searching for more information on
varicose veins’ cure, I sat
on the swivel chair in front of
the PC in a relaxed but poised
position: upright with my right
leg over my left leg.
What I
thought of as a comfortable
sitting position could have led
me to get more of the unwanted
varicose veins.
The topmost
DON’T in
preventing and relieving varicose
veins was: DON’T cross your
legs when sitting. It was like
touching a hot plate; I
immediately uncrossed my legs and
leaned forward to read more.
Other than
not crossing the legs, here are
some great preventive
measures that you ought
to know so as not to have those
gory spider veins marring those
pretty legs:
•
Regular exercise
helps in the continuous flow of
the blood. It is understandable
that time is quite a problem.
Choose an
exercise activity that is not so
time consuming, like walking a
good distance will be great.
•
Watch your weight,
a very heavy body gives burden to
the legs that hold it upright.
•
If your job requires
standing for a long
period of time, shift your weight
from one foot to the other time
and again. If it is possible,
always sit on breaks and relax
tired feet.
•
Elastic stockings
can best support legs.
• See
to it that your clothes,
even you underwear
are comfortable and not too tight
especially on the waist, groin
and leg areas.

•
High-fiber
foods can help
prevent constipation
that could also
contribute to varicose
veins. Eat as much
fiber-filled foods as
possible.
•
Salt can
be a factor in swelling
of the body. Reduce your
salt intake.
•
Find time to
exercise your
legs even when
sitting. It can help in
the circulation of
blood.
A
simple leg stretching
and feet and ankle
rotation can relieve
soreness and can revive
those veins.

•
Leg elevation at
the end of the day is highly
recommended. Prop your feet on a
chair or on the wall at home when
you watch TV or a few minutes
before you go to sleep.
•
Long travels constrict
and numb your legs and feet. If
you can, get up and move about in
your vehicle (for travels on
buses, trains and airplanes) or
pull over every 30 minutes when
traveling in a car to relax and
stretch your legs.
•
Choose an aisle
seat or the one nearest
an exit door when attending long
conferences and meetings. This
way, you can easily go out and
stretch every fifteen to thirty
minutes to avoid cramps.
Researchers
show that women are not the
only victims of varicose
veins. In fact, recent studies
show that a large percentage of
men also get varicose veins.
Varicose
veins are brought about by a lot
of things from being
overweight to
genetics to
aging.
Most
factors that contribute to
acquiring varicose veins are
- the
work (especially if it
includes long periods of
standing up)
- pregnancy
- stomach
disorders such as
constipation
- and
then there’s improper
posture.
As
always, the adage that prevention
is better than cure is very true.
Although
major treatments and operations
are not exactly needed in curing
varicose veins, the pain could be
uncomfortable, not to mention
unsightly especially for a woman.
There are
dermatological ways
to remove varicose veins but, if
you can help it, prevent it from
appearing on your body parts by
doing the self-help tips that are
stated above.
