Health Education Advice:
While taking JOUVENCE DE L'ABBE SOURY, it is important to adopt lifestyle habits that help limit circulatory problems and their various symptoms:
· Prolonged standing and lifestyle: People who stand or sit for very long periods, particularly at work, are predisposed to venous disorders. Standing still and a lack of activity in the lower limbs significantly impede venous return.
· Heat can cause veins to dilate, making the legs feel heavy and sometimes painful: underfloor heating, excessively hot baths, saunas, and prolonged exposure to the sun.
· Excess weight impedes venous circulation by isolating the veins from muscle contractions .
· Physical activity: In certain sports that place a heavy strain on the legs, such as tennis and squash, repeated muscular exertion leads to an adaptation of peripheral circulation and venous dilation in the lower limbs.
· Pregnancy is a factor that contributes to venous problems. Increased hormone secretion is responsible for the dilation of the veins. However, after childbirth, most of these issues subside.
· Physical exercise causes muscle contractions that compress the surrounding veins and thus help blood flow back to the heart. Walking and cycling are particularly recommended.
· Water reduces the effects of gravity and helps maintain even pressure throughout the body. At the end of the day, a warm bath relaxes you and reduces the feeling of fatigue.
