This can cause painful, swollen and heavy legs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cChronic venous disease is a progressive inflammatory disease, so it is important to recognize the signs and take steps to prevent it from getting worse,\u201d explains Dr. Beverley Chan, a vascular surgeon in Canada. \u201cFortunately, simple habits and convenient over-the-counter options can help manage symptoms and offer long-term relief.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For those dealing with CVD, here are some tips to incorporate into your routine:&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Avoid prolonged heat exposure and activities that may cause overheating. Stay hydrated and keep cool.<\/li>\n<li>Exercise regularly to stay active and prevent blood stagnation in the veins. Try low-impact activities like walking or cycling to help keep the body moving.<\/li>\n<li>Elevate legs to reduce swelling and increase blood flow in the lower body.<\/li>\n<li>Try over-the-counter options like Venixxa, a natural health product that can help improve venous tone and blood circulation, reducing pain, lower-leg swelling and sensation of heaviness in the legs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Find out if you are at risk of chronic venous disease.
