Hi,
I am reading a research article "The association between vegetarian diet and varicose veins might be more prominent in men than in women" .The overall result is that women have more varicose veins than men but in term of diet," Vegetarian men have more varicose veins than in men with non vegetarian diet". Can anyone explain the reason? I have also attached research article's pdf.
You must know that, vegetarian diet lacks Vitamin B12 (cobalamin) because this vitamin only comes from animal sources. As Vitamin B12 deficiency causes paresthesia (numbness, tingling sensation) in lower limb and this condition might be linked with severity of varicose veins.
The above stated statement might support that varicose veins is high in vegan population.
