People suffering from varicose veins just need to move - walk more and do gymnastics. Indeed, under the action of the working muscles of the legs, the veins are compressed and the blood flows upwards , heading towards the heart. Without movement, blood flow slows down. Therefore , when a person stands on his feet for a long time , sits a lot - in the car , at work , at home in front of the TV - venous blood stagnates in his legs. And poor blood flow provokes further varicose veins and the development of complications. In this case, special physical exercises come to the rescue , which activate blood circulation in diseased veins.
