3 ways to prevent Varicose Veins

Picture
Recently I held a Q&A in my closed group “Females Embracing Strength” and one of the questions was wondering how to prevent varicose veins.

​First understanding how they happen will help some. Here is how it works, muscle contractions in our lower legs act as a pump to help those tiny valves and those elastic vein walls to return the blood back to our heart. When blood pools in our veins, due to them losing their elasticity as we age or the valves in the veins become weak, those veins enlarge causing those dreaded varicose veins. The bluish color is from the lack of oxygen supplied to the blood.

There are some risk factors to consider:

Age
Gender
Obesity
Family history
Standing or sitting for longer periods of time.

As for the popular crossing the legs comments, it isn’t so much that crossing them is the issue it is staying in that position for too long that can contribute to the development of them.

Ready for the prevention? Here are three things.
​
Watch your weight
Get moving
Don’t sit for long periods of time.

    Hi guys!! Welcome to my thoughts and just some health information that I hope you can use! Let me just state this now. I am not a writer, English major, or even a blogger, so there will be mistakes in here.

    This is where I keep it real and try to provide you with useful information and a little bit about myself. I am not flashy and don't feel that I need to post half naked bodies to get my point across. There is enough of that and I am not any part of it.

    Have something you want to talk about or a question? Just leave me a comment or message and I will get back with you. Now let get talking!
