Page 12, News, Wednesday, October 26 , 1988 Exercise not in vain when it comes to varicose veins By John Lubberdink, D.C. Each of us has a heart that gen- erates a tremendous blood pres- sure to get blood through the arteries to organs and tissues. But what drives the blood back to the' heart once the blood travels through smaller arteries further and further from the heart to the point of travelling through capil- laries, which are the smallest blood vessels? It is in the 'venous system' where blood is collected and returned to the heart by a mecha- nism that depends on various fac- tors rather than one strong pump. Healthwise John Lubberdink, D.C. Veins are very thin, bendable, stretchable, have valves, and the blood travels though them at a slower speed and at a much lower pressure than when it is pumped from the heart. Veins are dependent upon physical compression by muscles and skin among other types of tis- sue to get the blood moving back to the heart. This compression or ° c 5/ = ~ 0, Mi x, © sepanat® _~ Quotations Snow Removal <The North of Superior District R.C.S.S.

Box 730 SCHREIBER, Ontario POT 2S0 For squeezing is performed by you whenever you move your arms, legs, head, etc..,. Veins are thin, so that a muscle which contracts near it will com- press the vein and squeeze the . blood and move it. Veins are also bendable, so they can collect extra blood when muscles don't contract. On some people we can see this distension in their lower legs. If there is too little muscle movement and too much blood collection -- particu- larly in the legs -- the veins become stretched over a period of time. The valves in the veins col- lapse and cause "varicose veins." Varicose veins are very discom- forting and potentially dangerous. People who stand during the day and do not move very much are prone to stressing their veins. One who is in such a position should move his/her legs every 5- 10 minutes to keep the blood moving. Remember your move- ment pumps the blood back to the heart -- a function as important as the heart beat.
