Getting Older Can Be A Pain In The…..???
Leg of course!!!!
By Ava Smith, the Vteam
The gorgeous legs woman so proudly showed off in their 20’s, possibly their 30’s, have disappeared when women reach their 40’s, 50’s and 60’s. Most adult women can’t get away with wearing mini-skirts during these older stages of life. There’s only but one Tina Turner. Matter-of-fact, the older we get the longer our skirts become or the darker our stockings. Now why is that?
I’ll tell you why, constant standing, weight gain, pregnancy and not enough exercise takes its toll on our bodies, especially our legs. Varicose or spider veins and cellulite are common reasons why woman do not ‘dare to be bare’. Society shuns those who reveal their orange peeled thighs or the meticulous blue web of veins which protrude so visibly. The only photographs you’ll in Elle or Cosmo of woman who suffer from this problem are on the very last pages under “Do’s and Don’ts”.
So what is one to do?
Well, let’s start by pinpointing the sources.
Those annoying enlarged, twisted bluish veins which sit near the surface of the skin are the varicose. It’s caused by faulty valves in the veins or weakened vein walls. They can be inherited (genetics), hormonal, ageing or many other things, including those aforementioned. And the spider veins are just smaller versions of twisted vessels which come in a variety of colors such as red, purple or blue.
Cellulite, the worst curse bestowed on woman (of course, developed by him). Just beneath the surface of skin, usually on the thighs, the bumpy, orange-peel looking fat that makes you think of grabbing a rolling pin and kneading dough. Attributed to hormonal changes and heredity, cellulite is a bigger demon to fight.
There are many options for those of use who don’t mind spending some cash. For varicose or spider veins, the purchase of support stockings, a procedure called Sclerotherapy (injection of a concentrated saline solution injected into the veins), lasers or surgery are available. But cellulite is a much harder battle to fight. There are no guarantees those treatments like miracle pills, Endermologie (a deep massage with a vacuum-like device) or plastic surgery will give you the youthful shape you desire.
The one thing which seems to be apparently clear is that unless we take care of our bodies by eating right and exercising, anyone of us can or will suffer from these imperfections.
