Beauty and health - two things inseparable. If there is health, then the beauty is not far off. Unfortunately, women's care for the face, hands, hair and nails does not affect the legs - the most important support that helps us to stand firmly on the ground.

Disappointing statistics show that every third woman after thirty years suffers from various violations of venous circulation of the lower limbs. Everyone knows that in recent times, illnesses have sharply "grown younger". This applies to a disease such as varicose veins, often observed, according to experts, even in girls under the age of sixteen.

In addition to the consequences, dangerous for the health as a whole, and the possible surgical intervention, varicose veins also have quite tangible and aesthetically unattractive external manifestations. When the disease has gone far, you need the help of a qualified phlebologist. But in our power to postpone it - if there is a genetic inclination or other factors affecting its occurrence and development - or even prevent. And for this you should listen to the recommendations of specialists.

So, what do surgeons advise us.

• Never sit on your leg. This pose worsens blood circulation like no other.

• Do not wear tight tights and knee socks with elastic bands under the knee, stockings are also better to exclude.

• Do basic exercises such as "bike", or better - purchase an inexpensive simulator.

• Do not neglect swimming pool visits.

• Do not stand in one place for long periods.

• Sleep with your feet on a small cushion or pillow.

• If you feel uncomfortable in the legs before going to bed, use pain-relieving gels and creams - they are produced in a great variety, and almost all of them are sold without a prescription.

• In the summer, if possible, try to travel to the sea and walk barefoot on pebbles and small stones.

And remember that compression tights can only be picked up by a doctor. At home, you can bandage your feet with special elastic bandages. But tights, special pills and creams are already for those who noticed obvious signs of a beginning illness.
