Tips for beautiful and healthy feet

Our legs perform several tasks, including walking, standing, and even making us slim and attractive. However, like any other part of the body, the veins in our legs age and lose their function as we age, leading to the formation of so-called " whiskers ," "spider veins," or "varicose veins ." These are more common in women over the age of 25.

If you belong to this age group, don't panic; the following non-surgical recommendations will help you achieve your goal of attractive, beautiful, and healthy legs.

Exercises

Exercise is the best way to improve overall circulation and also helps with weight management. Maintaining healthy legs also includes weight management, as excess weight puts more pressure on your legs, which can worsen vein problems. The good news is that it only takes thirty minutes of exercise a day to keep your legs in good shape. During these thirty minutes, you can dance to your favorite song, go for a run, ride a bike, or do whatever you enjoy.

Compression socks and stockings

They help blood circulation by reducing the work the veins have to do to transport blood to the heart. Nowadays, fashionable compression stockings are also available. They resemble traditional stockings so closely that you won't know the difference, and they are also very comfortable to wear.

Lymphatic drainage massage

Small varicose veins can be treated with lymphatic massage. During this massage, lymph is pushed into the bloodstream, which helps with effective lymphatic drainage and also maintains good blood circulation. With good blood circulation, more oxygen reaches the cells and waste products are eliminated from the blood more effectively.

Escin – an active ingredient from chestnut

In the treatment of spider veins, varicose veins or varicose veins, it is important to make some changes in your diet and to supplement with selected substances in the form of dietary supplements, containing so-called venotonics, substances that have a tonic effect on the veins. Horse chestnut extract is one of the best natural remedies available that could help you achieve healthy legs. It contains escin, a substance from the saponin group, which relieves discomfort in the legs, itching and other symptoms associated with spider veins and varicose veins.

Eat flavonoids

A diet rich in flavonoids can also help people with varicose veins. Because flavonoids (natural ones also known as bioflavonoids) act as antioxidants and at the same time promote blood circulation, blood does not accumulate in the veins, which reduces the occurrence of spider or varicose veins. Therefore, be sure to include foods rich in flavonoids in your diet, such as spinach, onions, citrus fruits. Or pine extract , also known as pycnogenol, is another great option that is rich in bioflavonoids. For the treatment of venous insufficiency, dietary supplements with ginkgo biloba , standardized for flavonoid content, are also a suitable choice. This is an ancient Chinese tree, which, when used as a dietary supplement, is supposed to improve blood circulation by strengthening the tissues that make up the vein walls, also eliminates the "tired legs" syndrome, and gives the legs a pleasant feeling of relaxation and lightness. Proanthocyanidins (another type of flavonoid) obtained from grapefruit and grape seeds also help with varicose vein problems.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of blood vessels and is therefore the first choice for women suffering from varicose veins. Niacin (vitamin B3) and vitamin B12 contribute to the normal condition of mucous membranes and skin and can help prevent spider veins from worsening.
