Nearby veins adapt by creating alternative pathways for the return of blood. Another treatment involves injecting the varicosed veins with an irritating substance, which causes them to shrink. Again, nearby veins assume the blood flow. Elastic or support hose may provide some assistance. Tight garters that impeded circulation should be avoided.
Vegetarian diets can be healthful and nutritionally adequate when appropriately planned.
Protein You do not need to eat animal products to have enough protein in your diet. Plant proteins alone can provide enough of the essential and non-essential amino acids, as long as sources of dietary protein are fairly varied and caloric intake is high enough to meet energy needs. Soy protein has been shown to be equal in nutritional value to proteins of animal origin, and can, if desired, be the sole protein source. Iron Vegetarians are not at greater risk of iron deficiency than nonvegetarians. Dried beans, spinach, enriched products, brewer's yeast and dried fruits are all good plant sources of iron.
