Subject: Reduce Varicose Veins.(KDEH-328)

Although varicose veins certainly lack popularity -- they are right down

there with cellulite for the least desirable bodily attribute -- they are

actually quite "popular" in that a great many people have them.Up to 30

million Americans have these ropey, bulging veins, usually on the legs.

Women age 30 and older are most commonly affected, but no one is immune.

Even Mick Jagger of the Rolling Stones "can't get no satisfaction" -- he

reportedly has calves crisscrossed by them.There are things you can do to

reduce them:
Do regular exercise. Walking, running, cycling & swimming keep blood vessels

healthy.
Stick to a high-fibre & low-salt diet. Kick off the high heels. Avoid

tight-fitting clothings or undergarments that restrict blood flow at the

waist, groin & legs (e.g. girdles, stockings & socks). If elastic stockings

are recommended, wear them before getting out of bed in the morning. Don't

leave legs crossed or bent for a long period. If work requires prolonged

standing or sitting, move & stretch those legs, rotate ankles & wiggle the

toes once in a while. Do leg stretching exercises daily. Raise legs above

the level of the heart whenever possible. Rest those legs on pillows while

sleeping. Stop smoking Although varicose veins aren't usually considered a

significant health problem, they can make life miserable. "Varicose veins

shouldn't be viewed as only a cosmetic concern," said Dr. Alan Hirsch, a

specialist in vascular medicine at the University of Minnesota. Often, the

discomfort over the veins' appearance is equalled by the aching pain they

can cause, particularly after a long day of sitting or standing. In

addition, the veins may signal a higher risk for other more serious blood

vessel disorders. visit: http://www.nikhar-e-arab.com/varicoseveins.html
