In contrast to that observed in the United States and in many other developed countries, varicose veins are rarely seen in areas of the world where you consume a diet low in refined and high in fiber.

A diet low in fiber and with a high content of refined foods contributes to the development of varicose veins. People who eat a diet low in fiber tend to make greater efforts intestinal contractions during defecation, and their stools are smaller and harder, are more difficult to cross the intestinal loop. This exertion increases the pressure in the abdomen, and this hinders the flow of blood in the legs up. Over time, this increased pressure can significantly weaken the vessel wall, leading to the formation of varicose veins or hemorrhoids, or it can weaken the bowel wall and lead to the formation of diverticula (small herniation) in intestine. Diet high fiber content is the most important component of treatment and prevention of varicose veins (and hemorrhoids). A diet rich in vegetables, fruit, vegetables and cereals stimulates peristalsis, many of the fiber components attract water and form a gelatinous mass that gets softer stool consistency, bulky, and pass easily. The net effect of a diet with high fiber content is significantly reducing the effort of defecation.

These types of fiber are generally less irritating than wheat bran and other fiber products based on cellulose.
