Although
many of the reasons that people develop varicose veins are beyond their control
(heredity and hormone changes), there are some steps that can be taken to
prevent or reduce the severity of varicose veins:
Exercise to improve circulationDiet/Weight Management - Excess
weight puts pressure on the legs. Diets high in salt can cause excess
water retention and pressure on the veins in the legs.Hormones - Hormonal changes
that occur during puberty and pregnancy, as well as side effects of the
birth control pill, can contribute to varicose veins.
Compression stockings - Compression stockings
encourage good circulation and can help prevent the condition from progressing.
They are especially beneficial in providing additional support to those who
must stand on their feet for long periods of time. Useful information on massage, and other health related topics. massage blog... i recommend
