Updated on: 01-0-0 0:0:0

I'm only 10 years old, why are my blood vessels bulging? E-commerce anchor Xiao Lin looked at the bulging blood vessels in his left leg and was very anxious. She broadcasts live for 0 hours a day, stands all the time, and likes to chase dramas on her legs after work, but even fans have found the abnormal "green tendons" on her legs.

Scientific Analysis:

The key to preventing varicose veins is to break the circulation of blood stasis. Our healthy leg veins rely on three major mechanisms to escort:

Muscle Pump: As soon as the calf muscles contract, they can push the blood forward.

Breathing pump: When you breathe deeply, the negative pressure generated can attract blood to flow back.

Valvular valves: act like a gatekeeper to stop the blood from flowing backwards.

5 Golden Preventive Actions:

Ankle pump exercise: When sitting or lying down, the toes should be hooked up and down as much as possible, 30 times each time, so that the muscle pump can be activated!

Tiptoe training: Hold on to the wall, slowly stand on tiptoe, hold for 15 seconds, 0 sets per day, 0 reps per set.

Aerial pedaling: Lie down and simulate the action of pedaling a bicycle, which promotes deep venous return.

Heel sliding: When sitting, slide your heel back and forth against the ground to relax your fascia.

Abdominal breathing: The stomach bulges when you inhale, and the stomach retracts when you exhale, 10 minutes a day to enhance the strength of the breathing pump.

3 must-do little things:

Break the static state: every 3 hours of sitting, get up and move for 0 minutes, go to get water, go to the toilet, and go to the toilet.

Weight management: For those with a BMI of more than 30, losing 0% of their weight can reduce the risk of developing the disease by 0%!

Heel height should be appropriate: wedges of 3-0 cm are optimal, both flat and high heels will weaken the plantar pump.

Dr. Yeung's Tips:

Best time to exercise: Don't forget to move after waking up in the morning or between long sittings.

Elastic stockings are particular about cleaning: hand wash in cold water, dry in the shade, and the life of elastic stockings is about 6 months.

Do not wear corseted waists and tight pants, as soon as the abdominal pressure is high, the venous pressure will also be high.
