Grape seeds have been found to be effective in reducing swelling and pain in varicose veins, according to a study conducted at Yonsei University in South Korea. The study, which involved 23 patients, showed that consuming grape seed extract twice a day improved blood flow in the affected area, resulting in reduced pain and discomfort. In fact, the blood flow was almost 5cm per second faster in patients who consumed the extract compared to those who wore compression stockings, the standard treatment for varicose veins. This improvement in blood flow is attributed to the antioxidant proanthocyanidin found in grape seeds, which increases the elasticity of blood vessels and promotes better blood circulation.
Aside from medical treatments, there are also effective home remedies that can alleviate certain health issues. For instance, deep breathing exercises have been found to be effective in reducing hot flushes. Erik Peper, a professor specializing in applied psychophysiology at San Francisco State University, discovered this link between deep breathing and hot flushes when teaching breathing exercises for stress relief. Several older female students who participated in the exercises reported a decline in hot flushes. Peper then found a study published in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology in 1992 that supported the effectiveness of deep breathing in reducing the incidence of hot flushes by about 50%. According to Peper, deep breathing relaxes the body and creates a “biofeedback” loop, where a relaxed state changes the body’s response to hot flushes. The recommended deep breathing exercise is paced respiration, which involves slow, deep, full breaths at a rate of six to eight breaths per minute, practiced for 15 minutes twice a day. Starting this exercise at the onset of hot flushes can be beneficial.
In addition to these health remedies, it’s interesting to explore the secrets behind the enviable bodies of celebrities. Jennifer Garner, for example, flaunted a toned décolletage at a recent charity gala. The 51-year-old actress attributes her physique to “hard cardio” workouts, specifically starting her days with 5.30am plyometrics. Plyometrics refers to explosive movements that rapidly contract and stretch muscles. One exercise that targets the décolletage is the one-clap push-up. To perform this exercise, get on all fours and extend your legs so you’re balanced on your hands and toes. Tighten your core, inhale, and slowly bend your elbows to lower your chest to the floor. Exhale while contracting your chest muscles, pushing back up through your hands, and bringing them together in a quick clap before returning to the floor. If needed, this exercise can be modified by performing push-ups on your knees or against a wall. Incorporating five reps of this exercise into your morning routine can be effective.
In conclusion, grape seed extract has shown promising results in reducing varicose vein swelling, and deep breathing exercises and plyometric workouts can provide relief from hot flushes and toned décolletage, respectively. It’s essential to explore various methods for achieving better health and body goals.
