Fasting to improve vein health
Anyway, long story short I wish to know if anyone has noticed with fasting an improvement in vein health or even appearance? Or has anyone found anything that would be helpful for me to read on the treatment of veins through fasting.
Thank you.
Fasting is the safest and most appropriate method of treating varicose veins. It
does not destroy or coagulate the veins, which are accomplished by other methods at the cost of overworking the deeper blood vessels, but it does heal varicose
ulcers, helps to restore tonicity to the walls of the veins, reduces their size and
provides freedom from pain. In young people who are affected by varicosities of
small to moderate size, full recovery is usually possible. For the patient past middle age, with severe varicosities, definite improvement with comfort may be expected but complete recovery is rare. In all cases, proper nutrition and adequate
exercise after the fast are necessary to prevent excess fluid in the tissues and assure continued improvement or maintenance of normal tone of the walls of the
veins.

The same with veins. As soon as they are a bit dilated, they dilate further much easier. It's all part of hydrostatics and hydrodynamics. The tension the wall is exposed to is proportional to the diameter..
Thus it is essential to deal with the veins early and aggressively before the process runs amok.
Fasting would surely be helpful in that it reduces the blood pressure, particularly in the limbs and it helps the body scavenge excess collagen (in order to supply fuel and repair proteins). A varicose vein contains excess collagen due to its size.
Application of cold (ice) also tones up the muscles in the blood vessel walls and could contribute. Intermittent hot and cold would cause these muscles to become stronger and to thus handle the blood pressure better.
But one should approach this thing multi-disciplinary. Wish I could examine them, measure them and follow them up to see what's really happening.
