A sedentary lifestyle can lead to serious health problems.

Varicose veins develop. In addition, there are risks of thrombosis.

Phlebologist surgeon Armen Avakyan told Lenta.ru about this.

As the doctor noted, if there is no movement for a long time, the leg muscles stop contracting and problems with blood flow appear.

As a result, varicose veins appear.

Therefore, it is necessary to take into account that muscles need activity for normal work. This can be regular walking, as well as running or working out in the gym.

It is worth noting that problems with varicose veins appear not only in those whose lifestyle is associated with constant sedentary or standing work, but also in pregnant women and bedridden patients.

As for thrombosis, for prevention you need not only mobility, but it is also important to follow the rules of healthy eating and give up bad habits.

People who are at risk are advised to wear compression hosiery (tights, knee-highs, etc.) to improve blood flow and help the veins cope with the strain.
