Varicose veins can be painful mentally as well as physically. If you're fearful about what the effects may be for your health due to varicose veins or spider veins, take heart, making little changes in your diet can make a massive difference in how you feel about yourself and will give you smoother, more interesting legs! To ease varicose veins and spider veins, it is advised that you consume at least thirty grams of fiber a day from whole foods.
These foods ease varicose vein symptoms while buttressing leg vein walls :
* masses of fresh fruits, including berries, cherries and citrus fruit ensuring to nibble on the inside of the rinds to get maximum amounts of vitamin C and bioflavanoids.
* lots of steamed veg like spinach, cabbage, carrots, turnips and cauliflower for fibre.
* ginger, garlic and onions help break down the fibrin surrounding the varicose veins. Without adding these foods to your diet, varicose veins will continue to multiply.
* whole grains, particularly buckwheat and millet, oats, barley, beans, peas, lentils, baked potato with the skin, brown rice and unprocessed wheat. The fibre in whole grains takes some of the pressure off varicose veins and prevents constipation.
* seeds, nuts, raisins, figs and dates.
* flavonoid-rich foods such as yams, onions, grapes and berries.
* lots of fish.
Food to be avoided, these foods worsen varicose vein symptoms :
* bread, peeled potatoes and starchy foods cause trots which can put more strain on leg veins.
* all condiments, salt, alcohol, coffee, robust tea, fried foods, processed and refined foods, bleached flour products, white sugar and white sugar products, cheeses and ice cream. These foods can be constipating and could cause lethargic circulation, leg pain and cramps associated with varicose veins.
* it is suggested to cut down on red meat as much as possible and prohibit greasy animal protein to stop worsening your symptoms.
Varicose vein creams and lotions made with safe but powerful herbs and fancy oils excite lethargic circulation in the legs and help pump blood back up to the heart, enlarging leg energy, comfort and ease.
Look for creams that contain calendula, pony chestnut and gingko biloba. These herbs reinforce circulation, seriously reduce pain and swelling and regenerate weak veins.
