Secrets of the flying gait: let legs will be healthy

Isn't that so, summer - the most pleasant season? When juicy greens and variety of flowers are pleasing to the eye, and sun roast gives us the chance to postpone jeans with trousers far away and to remember skirts, shorts and light sundresses. But very often hypostases, feeling of weight in legs quite often happen our satellites on life and if here to add still expanded capillaries and vascular "asterisks", then the mood can fall below a plinth, and the long-awaited summer will not seem such bright and colourful any more.

Unfortunately, the subject of venous insufficiency is familiar to me not by hearsay and it would be desirable to share the methods of fight against harbingers of artful varicosity and fatigue in legs. As is well-known, prevention is better than treatment and even if you have no expanded veins standing and vascular "asterisks", then after all the necessary minimum of simple actions will be useful.

1. We strengthen muscles of legs

Half-hour walks daily at least will help not only to burn excess calories, but also promote outflow of blood from veins due to reduction of muscles. Occupations bicycle sport, the Scandinavian walking, visit of the pool will be also useful.


Being mother of very bright and restless child, every day on the street we reel up on some kilometers. And recently we bought the scooter for adults and now together with the son we ride together the oak avenue.

2. Contrast shower

Alternately hot and cold water jet directed to legs is the excellent strengthening exercise for legs. From hot water vessels extend, from cold are narrowed, the tone of vessels thereby raises, blood circulation improves.


The contrast shower as prevention of varicosity, has some features:

a) the hot and cold stream has to replace each other with an interval of 10-15 seconds.

b) water should not be too hot if standing there are already vascular "asterisks". High temperature at varicosity is contraindicated therefore also a bath with a sauna remain under a ban too.

c) it is the best of all to do the procedure of a contrast shower in the morning, before a breakfast. From myself I want to tell that it is more convenient to me to do all complex of leaving in the evening when there is free time and it is possible to devote completely himself to rituals of beauty and health.

d) doing a hydromassage, the water jet should not linger long on one place, and smoothly, soft circular motions to move from below up - from feet to hips.

e) the contrast shower has to begin with warm water, and finish cold.

3. We change position of legs

At many of us work obliges to spend a large number of time in immovability. To exclude stagnation of blood in veins, it is the best of all to take for the rule to take each hour 2-3 minute break - to rise from the workplace and to make mini-walk along the corridor, up-down a ladder. If there is no such opportunity, then serially strain and relax muscles of legs, change the provision of foot, being rolled from a sock on a heel.

4. You keep legs in the raised situation in relation to heart level

Giving to a leg sublime situation, we help fast outflow of blood from below up and is already in a few minutes felt how weight leaves legs, puffiness cleans up.


Several years I took myself for the rule to do such procedure in 15-20 minutes prior to a dream. I lay down on a bed, legs I raise at an angle 45 degrees and I relax. I can read at this time the book, but that it was convenient to be read, I spread several pillows under the head. If legs strongly "hoot", without waiting for evening, at once after the street I do a hydromassage, then I apply venotoniziruyushchy cream and minutes ten I keep legs in the raised situation. Helps perfectly.

5. Do not forget about flebotoniky

As well as in a case with exercises for legs and a contrast shower, use of venotoniziruyushchy means in the form of gels and ointments (for example, trokserutin, troksevazin, venorutin, lioton and so forth) have to have constant character, but not occasionally. Reception of flebotonik in inside in the form of capsules and tablets has to be undergone strictly courses.


Here such simple and not taking away a lot of time procedures help our legs to remain longer beautiful and healthy. If to take for the rule every day to give to the legs 10-15 minutes, then it is possible to forget about hypostases and weight of legs, and vessels will be reliably protected!
