Although varicose veins certainly lack popularity -- they are right
down there with cellulite for the least desirable bodily attribute --
they are actually quite "popular" in that a great many people have
them.Up to 30 million Americans have these ropey, bulging veins,
usually on the legs. Women age 30 and older are most commonly
affected, but no one is immune. Even Mick Jagger of the Rolling Stones
"can't get no satisfaction" -- he reportedly has calves crisscrossed
by them.There are things you can do to reduce them:
Do regular exercise. Walking, running, cycling & swimming keep blood
vessels healthy.
Stick to a high-fibre & low-salt diet. Kick off the high heels. Avoid
tight-fitting clothings or undergarments that restrict blood flow at
the waist, groin & legs (e.g. girdles, stockings & socks). If elastic
stockings are recommended, wear them before getting out of bed in the
morning. Don't leave legs crossed or bent for a long period. If work
requires prolonged standing or sitting, move & stretch those legs,
rotate ankles & wiggle the toes once in a while. Do leg stretching
exercises daily. Raise legs above the level of the heart whenever
possible. Rest those legs on pillows while sleeping. Stop smoking
Although varicose veins aren't usually considered a significant health
problem, they can make life miserable. "Varicose veins shouldn't be
viewed as only a cosmetic concern," said Dr. Alan Hirsch, a specialist
in vascular medicine at the University of Minnesota. Often, the
discomfort over the veins' appearance is equalled by the aching pain
they can cause, particularly after a long day of sitting or standing.
In addition, the veins may signal a higher risk for other more serious
blood vessel disorders. visit:
