In the initial stages, the disease rarely disturbs patients.However, the presence of advanced veins, even if they do not worry yet, already involves a great danger to life, since at any time the most dangerous complication can arise - - -thromboflebitis.
With varicose veins, damaged valves allow the blood to penetrate the venous surface system, due to which there is an increase in pressure, which leads to their expansion.The blood flow slows down, the power of oxygen tissues decreases, ulcers occur.
Causes of the disease:
- inheritance;Hereditary weakness of the blood vessels
- Long static loads
- A sedentary lifestyle
- take hormonal drugs and hormonal disorders
- pregnancy
- Legs in the legs
- Lift of gravity, overload (for example, sudden start of active training after several years of inactive lifestyle)
- smoke
At riskPeople arrive in the same way both young and elderly:
- Those who wear high heels;
- Athletes whose classes are associated with a load of large legs (tennis, heavy athletics, bodybuilding);
- The profession makes you stand during the working day, to be behind the wheel, computer hairdressers, sellers, teachers, waiters and representatives of other professions who spend a lot of time standing;
- Professions "seats" and those who really like to put their foot standing;
- Fans of coffee and alcohol, because these products dehydrate the body and therefore thicken the blood, complicating its path to the heart.
How to recognize the disease:
If at the end of the working day you hear gravity in the legs and your favorite shoes have been narrow due to light edema, these are the first signs.Convulsions that occur periodically, even caviar pain should notify.
The changes in the veins usually start with small eye - with the appearance of vascular stars.
In the future, irreversible processes occur in large veins, they arrive on the surface, their walls in some places become thinner and seem knotted.
Food and diet
The diet for varicose veins is a maximum of vegetables and fruit, a minimum of salty and smoked.Diet with a low content of animal proteins, fatty fats and carbohydrates.The blood thickens from acute foods, which leads to the formation of blood clots.Vodka, cognac and whiskey act similarly.It is recommended to eat the least possible number of meat.It is not surprising that the Papuan and peoples of the Far East, who prefer vegetarian food, never suffer from this disease.
Include fish, fresh fruit and vegetables, foods rich in fiber, with a high content of vitamin C, routine in the diet.From vegetable products, everything is useful.The principle of ABC is valid here, where A is carrots, B is a salad of leaves and C is vegetables and citrus fruits.Two other important vitamins should be added to this list, strengthening the walls of the ships.This is vitamin E, which is contained in olive oil, and vitamin P, which is part of walnuts, green tea and roseti.Vitamins C and E are components of collagen - connective tissue of veins and venous valves.With surprise, the veins are surprisingly enriched with the necessary nutrients and make them more elastic grains of wheat and rye, as well as peas, beans and green onions.Garlic is a special place.
Scientists have shown that garlic has a beneficial effect on the blood.This manifests itself in the prevention of formation in blood clots vases - blood clots that make blood difficult or superimposed.
If we summarize almost thirty scientific experiments, during which the effect of the garlic has been verified on the viscosity of the blood, then it can be briefly determined as follows: if you take the garlic for a certain period of time, you can expect an increase in the level of dissipation of the glimpsed clouds of 50%.In addition to contributing to the reabsorption of blood clots in the blood, the garlic does not also allow the thrombocytes to increase and compact and, therefore, form blood clots.
Eat 2-3 cloves of garlic with food every day.This helps to reduce blood pressure, purify the vases of atherosclerotic deposits, strengthen the walls and prevent varicose veins, etc.
Prevention:
If you have the initial signs of the varicose veins, respect for the fairly simple rules will slow down and in some cases to avoid its further development.
- Don't let yourself be transported with hot bathroomsSauna, long stay in the sun.Everything above reduces the venous tone, leads to the stagnation of the blood to the lower ends.
- Move more.Strengthening the veins and improving blood circulation will help regular sports.Aerobics, running, swimming in moderate mode contribute to the healing of the veins.
- Reduce weight.People who suffer from overweight are particularly sensitive to such a disease.In the blood vessels of the whole person there is more blood than that of a person with normal weight, so these vases represent too loaded.We can give only one advice to people with overweight in such a situation: to lose weight and maintain their weight constantly normal.
- Don't wear tight clothes, Stocking and socks with narrow elastic bands, as this leads to squeezing the veins.But the tights and support socks help to prevent varicose veins.
- Alternate the load uniformly, never staying in the same position for a long time.
- Don't sit on your foot!When launching one knee on another, an obstacle is created on the blood flow path.
- Move.Varicose veins can cause prolonged position, since in this case the normal blood flow is disturbed.Try to move the weight if you have to stay for a long time.Even the long -term session will not benefit you: try to get up and move from time to time to the room or walk every half hour.
- Exercise in the morning.Before going to bed and in the morning after waking up for 3-5 minutes, twisting the legs and feet - this improves blood circulation at the lower ends.
- Don't wear heelsAnd narrow shoes.
- Pour the legs with cold waterAfter work.
- Go to dew moreand the edge of the summer basins.
If you are not sick of varicose veins, but only predisposed to it, for prevention, the daily self-pressure will be useful, with soft strokes and kneading the legs from the bottom.
If the diagnosis of "varicose veins" is already done, the legs of the legs of the legs are prohibited!
The lack of physical exercises 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 working day, during sleep and rest the legs should be kept in high conditions.When you rest, read the book, watch TV: launch your legs higher.You can put a high pillow or roller.
If your work is accompanied by a long place at the table or you are standing for a long time, then you should change the position of the legs more often, walk in place, rotate your feet.
After the shower or adoption of the bathroom, rinse the legs with cold water.There are sports that are useful with this disease - this is, first of all, swimming, in addition to walking, running easy, cycling, skiing.
Curative and therapeutic gymnastics:
The daily performance of special exercises will be very useful:
- Listen to the socks.Starting positions: we are straight, the feet are parallel to each other and pressed with each other.At the expense of the past - go up to the socks, at the expense of two - go down to the starting position.Repeat 20-30 times.
- Rise (socks - aside).Starting positions - we are straight, heels - together, socks - apart from.At the expense of the past - go up to the socks, at the expense of two - go down to the starting position.Repeat 20-30 times.
- Rise (heels - aside).Starting positions - we are straight, socks - together, heels - apart from.In this position at the expense of the past - go up to the socks, at the expense of two - go down to the starting position.Repeat 20-30 times.
- Another useful exercise is the "bicycle" from the position of lying on the back.It is very important: when performing this exercise, it straightens your legs to the end.
You can do these simple exercises, also do daily business (when you cook the porridge or you are at the xerox in the office).Be healthy!
