Achieve Healthy Veins With American Vein
Vein health is something we take very seriously, and we want you to do the same. One common leg problem is varicose veins. Varicose veins are thicker, appear like twisted ropes, and often cause the skin to bulge. They can cause leg swelling, aching, itching, and a leg fatigue.
Let's take a look at some tips for improving vein health and avoiding or relieving some common vein issues.
Exercise
Exercise is beneficial for vein health because it strengthens your muscles, and in turn, helps your leg veins push blood towards your heart.
Remember to speak with your provider first, as certain types of exercise may worsen conditions like varicose veins.
Find a Balance Between Sitting and Standing
Make sure to switch between sitting and standing, and take time to walk around. This is especially important if you have varicose or spider veins.
