Evite las varices use medias de compression

Posted on
Las medias de compresión son un tratamiento ideal para las varices pero también sirven para prevenir posibles roturas musculares. Por lo que no solo son recomendadas para hombres y mujeres que padezcan de varices sino también para todos aquellos deportistas. Es decir, no solo son medias para varices, sino que también son medias para running o cualquier otro deporte. El funcionamiento de las medias de compresión se basa en ejercer presión sobre el sistema vascular impidiendo que la sangre se acumule, lo que favorece el flujo circulatorio.
Las medias de compresión para varices ejercen una suave presión y la sangre empieza a circular hacia arriba, evitando que se formen coágulos e hinchazón. Las medias de compresión no son incomodas y son recomendadas para hombres y mujeres. Hay distintos tipos de medias de compresión tobilleras, por la rodilla, hasta la ingle y pantys. Estos son los 5 beneficios de usar medias de compresión:
Impide la aparición de varices: las varices más allá de ser un problema estético son sinónimo de problemas circulatorios. Se forman cuando la sangre no circula con normalidad por el cuerpo. Las medias de compresión evitan que se formen varices, ya que actúan ejerciendo una suave presión que favorece la circulación sanguínea.
Aumentan la circulación: esta es una de las principales características de las medias de compresión, se incrementa la circulación debido a la gravedad que ejercen sobre la sangre.
Se recomiendan a la hora de hacer ejercicio, ya que además de favorecer el riego sanguíneo, conservan el calor y evitan posibles roturas musculares.
Pueden ser muy beneficiosas en el caso de una rotura fibrilar gracias al calor y a la sujeción que otorgan.
Protege la piel de rozaduras, por lo que se evita la aparición de posibles ulceras.

Help Keep Blood Glucose Levels on Track

Help Keep Blood Glucose Levels low

Summer is quickly approaching which means fresh fruits, crisp salads, and the delicious smell of barbeque! Summer is a great season for healthier eating, but don’t forget that even good-for-you foods can raise blood glucose levels.
Carbohydrate is the main nutrient that raises blood glucose. Carbohydrate consists of all sugars and starches and is found in all kinds of foods. Healthier foods that contain carbohydrates include:
Fruit (fresh, dried, frozen, canned, and juiced)
Starchy vegetables (like corn, potato, squash, and cassava)
Milk (both cow and soy)
Yogurt
Legumes (like beans, peas, nuts, and lentils)
Grains (like bread, rice, pasta, crackers)
Just because these foods contain carbohydrate does not mean that you should stop eating them! Carbohydrate is a very important nutrient for proper functioning of the body, but like any nutrient, must be eaten in moderate amounts. These foods contain multiple health-promoting nutrients and are therefore a necessary part in a high quality, ultra healthy diet!
So what foods do not have carbohydrates?
Non-starchy vegetables (such as spinach, lettuce, broccoli, bell peppers, and tomatoes)
Poultry, fish, and meat
The trick to keeping blood glucose under control is to be aware of what and how much you are eating.
Before you start to eat do a ‘plate test’. Make sure that at least half of your plate is filled with non-starchy vegetables; just one quarter of your plate has a source of protein; and the remaining quarter is whole grains or starchy vegetables. Finish with a glass of milk and just half a cup of fruit for dessert!
Another summer tip is to be cautious of a summer time favourite: fruity beverages. Remember, beverages contain carbohydrates too! Juice contains natural sugar from fruit and may have added sugar from the manufacturer. As a result, a cup of juice can have up to 30 grams of carbohydrate! Try diluting juice with water or sipping on a glass of club soda with a slice of lemon or lime! For a more decorative drink try adding a few frozen berries to your club soda or water. The berries will act as ice cubes and your drink will give off that summer-time vibe!
When it comes to diabetes choose a can-do attitude! Eating healthier not only can improve your health, but can improve the health of those who eat with you!

El Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social (IMSS) asegura que 6 de cada 10 pacientes tiene varices e insuficiencia venosa crónica. Para estas personas el IMSS recomienda no sólo realizar ejercicio y estiramientos, también aconseja utilizar medias o calcetines de compresión.

Por otro lado, de acuerdo con Hiram Bojorquez, Cirujano Tórax y vascular, cerca de 8 millones de personas en México presentan pesadez, cansancio, ardor, comezón en las piernas, sin tener trastornos venosos. En estas personas el uso de las medias de compresión también podría estar indicado para aliviar estos malestares.

Compression therapy is particularly beneficial for patients with diabetes.
Compression socks are worn to improve circulation in patients with various medical issues, such as diabetes and varicose veins or those at risk of developing blood clots. As a non-invasive treatment method, compression therapy serves as a tool for maintaining the right amount of pressure in your feet and legs. So, how do compression socks work and why are they particularly helpful for people with diabetes?
What Causes Poor Circulation?
When patients experience circulation problems in the lower extremities, it is often due to a condition known as venous insufficiency. As you know, the circulatory system consists of arteries that deliver oxygenated blood throughout the body, and veins that return deoxygenated blood and waste products back to the heart and lungs for recirculation. The muscles in your feet and calves act as a pump to help blood flow back up through the legs against the pull of gravity.
In some people, vein walls in the legs lose their elasticity and become weak, causing the valves inside the veins to pull apart. These valves normally open and close to allow blood to flow up in one direction. When valves become pulled apart due to weakened vein walls, they do not close properly, allowing blood to flow in two directions. This causes blood to pool in the lower extremities and results in peripheral edema (swelling) in the legs, ankles, and feet.
How Do Compression Socks Work to Improve Circulation?
Compression socks improve circulation by gently squeezing the foot and calf muscles, which in turn straightens out the vein walls to a better working state. This gentle compression allows the valves to function properly by opening to allow blood flow toward the heart and closing to prevent blood from flowing backwards. This allows circulation to work as it should and helps to prevent peripheral edema from occurring.
While compression socks do a good job at assisting the body’s circulation system, they are not one size fits all. Compression socks provide different levels of pressure, measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg). They can range from very light compression (8-15mmHg) to extra firm compression (40-50mmHg), and different levels of compression are used to treat different types of conditions. Stronger levels of compression are not necessarily better, and mild pressure is generally recommended. You should always consult with a doctor before wearing compression socks or stockings.
Anyone diagnosed with diabetes is particularly prone to developing venous insufficiency, peripheral edema, and deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Wearing graduated compression socks that provide more pressure at the foot and less pressure on the calves can help maintain proper circulation to the lower extremities. This can prevent swelling and improve any nerve sensitivities.
However, diabetics are also at a higher risk of developing diabetic foot ulcers. Small cuts or scrapes to the foot can go unnoticed due to reduced feeling in the toes or feet as a result of a compromised circulatory system. These injuries can ulcerate and turn into serious, life-threatening conditions if left untreated. Many of these cuts and scrapes are caused by improperly fitting shoes or rubbing socks that break the skin. Wearing diabetic compression socks that fit properly and have extra padding, flat seams, and resist wrinkling can help by reducing friction and minimizing the risk of blisters.
