Varicose Veins
This disease is widely seen as the lot of old grandmothers, but, in fact, have to meet with him every fifth woman and some men, and long before retirement. We are talking about varicose veins. Problems with veins – the price paid for human bipedalism. Two not very large surfaces (35, maximum size 45) must bear the weight with each generation more and more overweight bodies. Moreover, the blood, which descends through the arteries and capillaries down to the fingertips, should still go back and forth.
Here, it's the go snag. It happens that the outflow is broken and "crossovers" thinner, swell, and all this "beauty" in the form of stars, sites, and protruding veins become visible to the naked eye. Why did this happen? Causes of varicose veins of many. First of all, it's heredity. If your relatives on the distaff side had similar problems, chances are that you will not pass this cup.

Another cause of varicose veins, little depends on us – it's pregnancy.

There are also factors that depend on lifestyle. The appearance of varicose veins contribute to excess weight and taking oral contraceptives. Just at risk are: those who wear high heels; athletes whose occupations connected with a heavy load on the legs (tennis, weightlifting, bodybuilding); hairdressers, shop assistants, teachers, waiters and members of other professions who spend much time standing; and those who are at least sitting up and running, but very fond of this time throw his legs; lovers of coffee and alcohol, because these foods dehydrate the body and thus thicken the blood, complicating her way back to the heart.
