Varicose veins are quite genetic. They occur in people regardless of activity background. They are a result of excessive standing/excessive pressure on the legs. They occur when the valves in the veins become weakened resulting in blood pooling in the surrounding areas. The only way to correct these potentially harmful buldging veins is through invasive means –removal or injection of one of several substances to temporary relieve the pooling.
I’ve never seen any research backing up any of the ‘home remedies’.
I’d say ease up on the exercise and take short breaks inbetween sets. Elevate your legs after exercising and avoid wearing tight pants/short while exercising. This won’t cure the varicose veins but will stop them from getting worse.
these have nothing to do with exercise and everything to do with genetics. make an appointment with your doctor to discuss your risk factors.
