What you can do to strengthen your veins.
If you have tired heavy legs, this can be a sign of weak veins . If you have a weak vein, a healthy lifestyle is essential in order not to make the disease worse. That means sufficient exercise in everyday life as well as a balanced diet with lots of fruit and vegetables, whole grain products and unsaturated fatty acids. Exercise is also beneficial because obese people are at higher risk of chronic venous disease than people of normal weight.

• Yoga: Simple exercises can be done at home at any time, active training of the muscle pump.
