It's become increasingly common in recent years! These mistakes invite varicose veins.
Dr. Özgen emphasizes that although varicose veins are caused by genetic predisposition, our daily life habits can also significantly trigger this problem, and lists the mistakes that should be avoided and the precautions that should be taken as follows:
1- Do not stand for long periods of time
Standing in a stationary position, especially for long periods, puts constant pressure on the leg veins. This increases the risk of varicose veins. Therefore, avoid standing for long periods. Whenever possible, elevate your legs above heart level to rest.
2- Avoid inactivity
Sitting at a desk for long periods of time without interruption can weaken your leg muscles and slow down blood circulation. So, be sure to walk around and move your legs for a few minutes every now and then. Be sure to include regular walking in your daily routine.
