Drink This Juice To Prevent and Treat Varicose Veins

This causes inadequate circulation and nourishment to the tissues of the lower legs. If not corrected, this can lead to breakdown of the skin and varicose ulcers which are difficult to heal.

Follow these steps to lessen the effects of varicose veins:

Reduce intraabdominal pressure.

Resolve constipation. You should be having 2-3 bowel movements per day.

Maintain a healthy weight.

Increase fiber in your diet through fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.

Increase your water intake. To determine how much water to drink, divide your weight in pounds by two. This is the amount of ounces of water to drink daily to be in good health.

Decrease amount of time spent sitting and standing still. If you are working or need to sit for long periods, get up every hour and walk around for a few minutes. While sitting, flex your feet often, moving them up and down to keep the circulation.

Avoid concentrated, processed, and packaged foods.

Decrease fat in your diet. While healing, even avoid nuts, avocados, and free oils.

Decrease your salt intake. Excess use of salt is irritating to the vessels.

Decrease nervousness.

Exercise. Walking will increase the circulation as the muscles move the blood back up towards the body. Walking barefoot in the morning in the dewy grass will also help the circulation and strengthen the veins.

Be careful to only use 2 or 3 foods at a meal.

Avoid tight bands on the legs. These compromise circulation. Knee socks are the worst offenders.

Sweat every day. Sauna, steam bath, fever bath, or intense activity can be used to cause sweating.

Bathe your legs and feet in a hot/cold alternate bath. Bathe in the hottest water you can tolerate for three minutes. Alternate with cold water for one minute.

Ensure you intake 600-1200 IU of vitamin E daily and 3000 mg of vitamin C 3000 daily.

Drink carrot juice combined with spinach juice. Drink a combination of 10 ounces of carrot juice to 6 ounces of spinach juice. Then, alternate with 16 ounces of spinach juice. This procedure has been known to cure varicose veins in combination with the points outlined above. Use these juices daily until results are seen.
