Natural Remedies & Best Foods for Varicose Veins

Some Foods and Natural Remedies for Varicose Veins to Choose and Avoid As we age, varicose veins can begin to appear in the lower extremities as these veins weaken, causing blood to pool and the walls of these veins to bulge. Several factors can affect this condition, including genes, obesity, pregnancy and long periods of time sitting or standing. Nutrition can also play a role. Here are the list of foods which should be chosen for varicose vein: Low Calorie, Nutrient Dense Vegetables: Filling your plate with light foods like vegetables instead of heavy meats and starches like rice or potatoes can help you to lose weight. As an added bonus, losing weight can boost your cardiovascular health in general, and give protection to you from stroke and heart attack.

Buckwheat, Apples, Cherries, Apricots, and Figs All of these foods contain the bioflavonoid rutin, which helps you to reinforce vascular walls. This strengthening keeps your veins from bulging, and keeps blood moving along properly instead of pooling in the lower extremities. Rutin helps to alleviate symptoms like leg swelling and pain that can causes varicose veins.


Oranges, Leafy Greens and Berries These nutritional powerhouses are all rich in vitamin C, an antioxidant which helps to protect against cellular damage. This helps to keep the walls of veins strong and supple, which stops varicose veins from forming. Sunflower Seeds, Almonds and Spinach These foods are good sources of vitamin E, which is another powerful antioxidant that helps in preventing cell damage. It also helps to stop platelets in the blood from sticking together and improves circulation and blood flow. All these benefits of vitamin E will aid you in your fight against varicose veins. Foods to Avoid For Varicose Vein: Alcohol should be avoided if you have a predisposition for varicose veins, or a family history of the condition. Alcohol increases blood pressure which puts strain on the circulatory system and thus the veins, and could cause this condition to worsen. Additionally, alcohol is filtered by the liver, which also filters the blood. In extreme cases of alcohol abuse, the liver can become damaged and subsequently the blood will not be filtered properly. When this occurs, the blood can become viscous and good circulation can be impeded.
