Summer is a time for many women when they like to show off their legs. Naturally, they want to keep them beautiful and seductive. Sometimes it's hard work, but with our tips it's a little easier.
The enemy of women's legs
It's summer and many women may be wondering how they should take care of their feet during this time. And it's not just about so-called cosmetic treatments. The statistics are clear: one woman in two suffers from varicose veins. The intensity of these manifestations increases during the day and reaches its peak in the evening. Most often there is a feeling of heaviness in the limbs, swelling and a feeling of tension.
Look for help in oils
There are many recommendations on how to prevent varicose veins during the summer. We can give the advice of experts or study various Internet resources. Generally recommended is a draining massage of the limbs using essential oils. This massage is performed by physiotherapists.
The method is good for strengthening the lymphatic system and promoting circulation. It is suitable for all women who want to have beautiful legs during the summer. The massage also helps against cellulite and leaves the legs light and fresh. There are many types of oils to choose from. Types of oils like sunflower, walnut or olive also help to promote blood circulation.
Legs on top
Gymnastic relaxation at the end of the day is also recommended. It is best to lie down on the floor, put a pillow under your head and rest your feet against the wall. It is good to stay in this position for a few minutes and breathe deeply. You can also put your legs crossed on your chest and breathe. Walking, swimming and cycling are sports that our legs will thank us for doing. On the other hand, it is a good idea to avoid sunbathing, saunas or hot waxing.
Salmon with dandelions
You can't fool the diet either. A sufficient amount of vegetables such as cabbage, kale, garlic or even young dandelion leaves is essential. Salmon and tuna, on the other hand, contain important fatty acids that protect our veins. Extracts from plants such as red grapes are also helpful for veins.
The doctor will advise us
Need relief for your legs now? Then head to the pharmacy. Here you can buy so-called venotonics, i.e. drugs that reduce the tension of the venous wall. Gels containing small amounts of heparin and plant extracts are also available.
If problems persist, it's a good idea to see a doctor. A specialist will perform a sonography of your veins and prescribe medication or compression stockings. During the summer, you should not worry too much about your varicose veins and follow the above advice.
