Foods For Healthy Veins

Aug 10, 2022

The veins are what transfers oxygen and nutrients throughout the body via the blood. The blood that the arteries pump to all parts of the body has to make its way back up to the heart somehow. And that “somehow” is via the veins.

However many specialists agree that the best foods for varicose veins are those high in rutin, a plant pigment found in certain fruits and vegetables. Rutin is a “vasoprotective,” meaning it protects blood vessels. It can strengthen weak capillaries that could develop into varicose veins.

Rutin is also, anti-inflammatory, antithrombotic, and antioxidant. In addition to the above (and one of the most important ways), you can keep your veins healthy by eating proper food, below are some other ways to keep the Vein healthy and in good shape.

What to Eat to Keep Your Veins Healthy

1. Foods rich in fiber

Fiber is integral to your digestion, and thus what helps you maintain a healthy weight. A healthy weight reduces your risk of developing varicose veins or lessens the issue veins you may already have.

2. Foods low in sodium

Some salt is good for you, but not too much. If you’re consuming too much sodium, your body will retain water. This makes it harder for fluids to run through your veins. So, aim to stay away from consuming too many high-sodium foods.

3. Foods rich in vitamin C

Vitamin C is great for you for several reasons, but one of them is keeping your veins healthy. This essential vitamin keeps your veins full of collagen and elasticity. As a result, your veins are more flexible and able to contract and dilate, which allows the blood to flow through properly. And, as you learned above, that is crucial to your overall health. When your body is running low on vitamin C, your veins are weakened and are not as flexible. And, luckily, vitamin C is fairly easy to work into your daily life.

4. Foods High in Minerals

Your body needs vitamins and minerals to function properly. They not only nourish the body but also reduce your risk of diseases, especially vein disease. Eating nutrient-rich foods will give your body the power it needs to protect and strengthen the arteries, veins, and heart from damage that lead to varicose veins.
