heavy legs
The legs are indeed in constant struggle against gravity. Because of this, the veins work hard to raise the blood flow from the feet to the heart. This is thanks to three pumps dedicated to your circulation : the first is linked to walking which works 80% of the veins. The second concerns the contractions of the calf and the thigh, pushing the blood upwards. The third relates to the valves which lock the circulation of the blood , thus preventing the backward flow. When the pressure in the veins increases, the walls stretch. This stretching causes the appearance of varicose veins and spider veins. It also leads to swelling and heaviness in the legs.
This circulation problem affects many predisposed people. If one of the parents is affected by this kind of problem, you have a 40% risk of contracting this circulatory problem. The risk is 60% if both parents have these varicose veins. According to statistics, every second woman has spider veins. This increases with hormonal variations during pregnancy, menstrual cycles, HRT or taking the pill. Taken in high doses, estrogen stretches the walls of veins and accelerates blood clotting. To prevent this, avoid wearing boots and pants that are too tight. Long exposure to sunlight or strong heat should also be avoided.
