There is no absolute way to guarantee that you will not experience the pain of varicose veins at some point in your life. If there is family history of varicose veins, then you are unfortunately at high risk for developing them. Pregnancy and age are also contributors. But, don’t despair. There are many things that you can do to either delay or prevent the first appearance of spider and varicose veins and their accompanying pain. Orlando vein center specialists, Florida Vein Care, are experts in helping you sustain your vein health which means little to no pain and plenty to gain.
Maintaining a healthy weight, eating properly, and exercising regularly can all assist with keeping the pain of varicose veins from rearing its purplish-tinged head. When your body is at its optimal weight, your veins should be able to circulate blood as they were designed to. If you pack on the pounds, the additional stress added to your pelvic area and legs cause additional pressure on your vein walls which can result in the valves within the walls not working properly. When the valves don’t function, the blood begins to pool and the vein walls start to bulge. Ultimately, the vein expands to a point where it is followed by discoloration of the skin, and can produce symptoms such as itchy skin, achiness, fatigue, and insufferable pain.
Eating properly is obviously an enormous factor in weight maintenance, but you must combine that with eating healthfully. Certain foods can actually promote good vein health. Fruits, vegetables, and nuts that are rich in antioxidants, Vitamin C and Vitamin K are all intrinsic to keeping your veins healthy. Our skilled professionals at our Orlando vein center will help point you towards the appropriate path that will help you keep your vein health in tip-top shape.
