Causes of varicose veins

Various causes lead to the development of varicose veins. If, for example, the vascular walls of the veins are no longer elastic and strong enough, a backlog of blood can occur, causing the blood to clog and varicose veins to form.Other causes of varicose veins are hereditary factors, an unhealthy lifestyle (smoking, obesity), hormones (performing estrogens) that weaken the connective tissue, lack of exercise and varicose veins as a result of a blood clot in the deep veins of the leg.

In order to prevent the development of varicose veins you can change your everyday life accordingly. Even small changes can have a big effect. Among the measures are:

A fiber-rich diet with reduction of sugar and fat intake,
Abstain from excessive alcohol consumption and nicotine,
Alternating showers to stimulate the blood circulation
