Many women suffer from painful and swollen legs, cracked capillaries, and varicose veins. Although these conditions are aesthetic problem they are also a sign that the blood vessels are weakening under the influence of external factors as well as internal.
It can’t be determined accurately what causes these conditions. This problem is similar to cellulite; the reasons are different in every woman. Furthermore I don’t know a woman who doesn’t have problem with cracked capillaries on legs. I suffered from that problem for 20 years. I ‘ve noticed that they do not appear quickly but they ‘ve spread considerably in previous 3 months as a result of standing for longer period of time and wearing uncomfortable flip-flops.
Varicose veins can appear as a result of sitting, standing and uncomfortable shoes with too low or too high heels. Pregnancy can also be the reason. In my case, they appear throughout the second pregnancy when I needed to spend more time in bed, resting. Nutrition is also very important so consume plenty of vitamin C and animal proteins to stop the weakening of the vein walls.
