In the early stages, the disease rarely disturbs patients.However, the presence of advanced veins, even if they do not yet disturb, already has a great danger for life, because at any time, the most dangerous complication can occur -Thrombophlebititis.
With the varicose veins, the damaged valves allow blood to penetrate the surface venous system, as a result of which there is an increase in pressure, which leads to their expansion.The blood flow slows down, the power of the tissues with oxygen decreases, ulcers occur.
Causes of the disease:
- heredity;Hereditary weakness of blood vessels
- Long static loads
- A sedentary lifestyle
- Take hormonal medications and hormonal disorders
- pregnancy
- Leg wounds
- Lifting sevaluation, overload (for example, sudden start of active training after several years of inactive lifestyle)
- smoking
At riskPeople come in the same way as young people and the elderly:
- Those who wear high heels;
- athletes whose classes are associated with a large leg office (tennis, heavy athletics, bodybuilding);
- The profession makes you stand up during the working day, to be driving, computer hairdressers, sellers, teachers, servers and representatives of other professions who spend a lot of time standing;
- Professions "seated" and those who really like to throw their footsteps on their feet;
- Fans of coffee and alcohol because these products dehydrate the body and thus thicken blood, complicating its path to the heart.
How to recognize the disease:
If at the end of the working day, you feel the severity of the legs and your favorite shoes have become cramped due to light edema, then these are the first signs.Periodically occurring convulsions, caviar pain should also be alert.
Changes in the veins usually start with little ones - with the appearance of vascular stars.
In the future, irreversible processes occur in large veins, they rise to the surface, their walls in certain places become thinner and they seem to be tied.
Food and diet
The diet for varicose veins is a maximum of vegetables and fruits, a minimum of salty and smoked.Diet with a low content of animal protein, fat and refined carbohydrates.The blood thickens acute food, which leads to the formation of blood clots.Vodka, cognac and whiskey act in the same way.It is recommended to eat as little meat as possible.No wonder the Papouais and the peoples of the Far East, who prefer vegetarian food, never suffer from this disease.
Include fish, fresh fruits and vegetables, fiber -rich foods, with a high vitamin C content, a routine in the diet.From plant products, everything is useful.The principle of ABC is valid here, where A is carrots, B is a salad of leaves and it is green vegetables and citrus fruits.Two larger vitamins must be added to this list, strengthening the walls of ships.This is vitamin E, which is contained in olive oil, and vitamin P, which is part of nuts, green tea and rosais.Vitamins C and E are components of the connective tissue of collagen of vein and venous valves.On surprise, the veins are surprisingly enriched with the necessary nutrients and make them more elastic germinated grains of wheat and rye, as well as peas, beans and green onions.Garlic is a special place.
Scientists have proven that garlic has a beneficial effect on blood.This manifests itself in the prevention of formation in the vessels of blood clots - blood clots that make things difficult or overlap the blood.
If we summarize almost thirty scientific experiences, during which the effect of garlic on the viscosity of the blood has been verified, it can be determined briefly as follows: if you take garlic for a certain period of time, you can expect an increase in the level of dissipation of the 50%intravascular clouds.In addition to contributing to the absorption of blood clots in the blood, the garlic also does not allow thrombocytes to increase and compact and, therefore, form blood clots.
Eat 2-3 garlic cloves with food daily.This helps reduce blood pressure, clean the vessels of atherosclerotic deposits, strengthen their walls and prevent varicose veins, etc.
Prevention:
If you have the initial signs of varicose veins, compliance with fairly simple rules will slow down and, in some cases, to avoid its subsequent development.
