What Can I Do to Take Care of My Veins?
Vein disease is growing year after year. It’s now estimated that over 30% or more have had some form of vein issues and about 800,000 suffer from DVT. The scary part of this is that many people don’t know they have a venous disease and it gets left untreated.
Help for Reaching Healthy Veins
So how can you improve the health of your veins?
- Get active! Activity, in all forms, helps your blood flow. Walking, jogging, biking, exercising and swimming are some of our favorites.
- Get hydrated! And we mean with water. Keeping yourself hydrated thins out your blood so it can flow better. Stay away from sugary drinks.
- Make healthier food choices! Incorporating more vegetables and fruit in your diet can help vein health.
- Stop smoking! Cigarettes can thicken the blood and make it harder to flow
- Get some sleep! Make sure you are getting a healthy amount of sleep each night
- Stand up! Get up and move around. Sedentary lifestyles almost always lead to venous issues
