Circulation Problems in Legs

Has circulatory problems in your legs?
Circulatory problems in his legs are now a significant problem that goes on rising. Especially the peripheral circulation resulting in the familiar spider veins and varicose veins. And if you already are annoying-even painful-local temperature rise caused by the sun makes those who have them suffer a real torment that leads them to want even that summer arrives. However, circulatory problems can be prevented and, in many cases, wipe out some of its consequences.
Poor blood circulation in the body is linked to numerous pathologies on many of which already mentioned in the magazine. However, this time we focus on the peripheral circulatory problems affecting the legs and cause the emergence of so-called spider veins (see box) and varicose veins because, as you know those who are suffering, inconvenience and they often cause pain is worse in summer with the arrival of the intense heat.
And is that sun exposure causes at least four easily demonstrable effects: the temperature increase in the exposed area, increased sweating, increased at higher pigment-melanin-secretion and increased peripheral circulation blood to cool the irradiated area. Well, this temperature rise and the consequent increase in the peripheral circulation, also called systemic because it supplies most or all tissues except the lungs causes vasodilation in the body that increases the symptoms of pain, heaviness, fatigue, swelling , cramps and tingling in the legs in people with varicose disease.
Varices
As we say, varicose veins occur as a consequence of poor blood circulation resulting in excessive and permanent dilation of the veins begin to stockpile blood. The cause of this expansion is the weakening of the vein wall and subsequent valve failure which means that instead of closing to prevent backflow of blood, these valves to relax and give in to what part of the blood back to back ( rather down at the feet). And what factors cause this weakness and failure of venous valves?
So are these:
- A diet poor in fruits and vegetables. Because without them the body does not have enough vitamins, minerals, enzymes and trace elements to prevent deterioration of the veins and valves. Although many doctors are unaware of inadequate diet is the most important cause of the appearance of varicose veins. Do not eat fruits and vegetables is also usually causes a deficiency of fiber and therefore constipation aggravating the problem.
- A diet too rich in saturated animal fats, sugars, refined carbohydrates, coffee, tea and alcohol. A major source of poor peripheral circulation.
- Lack of exercise. That is, a sedentary lifestyle.
- The situations that hinder proper venous return. As standing for long hours, wearing too tight or sit in poor posture. This applies even in cases of pregnancy, excessive overweight and obesity, conditions in which the increase is significant pressure on the pelvis and lower limbs and compression of large veins as they pass through the abdomen difficult venous return and therefore pushing up the risk of appearing both varicose and hemorrhoids. In all three cases multivitamin supplements are essential.
- Hormones. At least that seems to indicate that the statistical data and five people who suffer from varicose four are women. It is the proven fact that ovarian hormones exert an adverse action on the tone of the veins.
- Age. Over the years it is common to weaken the connective tissue and subcutaneous tissue is more soft and relaxed resulting in a loss of tone in the vein walls.
- Genetics. Half of people with varicose veins have a family history of circulatory failure as though they can not assert that it is being inherited predisposition to allergies. Obviously people with congenital conditions such as the congenital absence of a valve-valve-valve-valve hypoplasia or smaller than normal, are candidates to suffer from venous disorders.
- It added that the temperature rise in a varicose exacerbates the problem while not a causal factor. Is the case of too much sun or heat generated by a stove, a too hot bath, a fireplace, a sauna.
