Shield Your Veins and Arteries from Vascular complications

Your veins and arteries work tirelessly to keep your body humming. But, just like any hard-working system, they need Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes (TLC) to stay in top shape. We are happy to share simple yet powerful habits that can make a big difference in your vascular health.

Get Moving!

  • Aim for Regularity:Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise most days of the week. Brisk walking, swimming and cycling are all great options.
  • Break it Up:Even short bursts of activity throughout the day are beneficial. Take the stairs, park farther out, dance it out while doing daily chores!
  • Listen to Your Body:If you're new to exercise, start gradually and build up over time.

Fuel Yourself with Heart-Healthy Foods

  • Feast on Fruits and Veggies:Colourful produce is packed with antioxidants that protect your blood vessels.
  • Choose Healthy Fats: Opt for oily fish, avocados, nuts, and seeds over saturated and trans fats.
  • Whole Grains for the Win:Swap refined grains for whole-wheat bread, brown rice, and oatmeal for extra fibre and heart benefits.
  • Sodium Watch:Too much salt can raise blood pressure, stressing those blood vessels.
  • Hydrate Right:Water keeps blood flowing smoothly. Aim for those 8 glasses a day!

More Tips for Vascular Well-Being

  • Manage Your Weight: Extra pounds put a strain on your circulatory system.
  • Quit Smoking:Smoking is a major risk factor for vascular diseases. Your body will thank you!
  • Stress Buster Techniques:Chronic stress can harm your cardiovascular health. Find healthy ways to relax and unwind.
  • Compression Stockings Can Help:If recommended by your doctor, these special stockings can improve blood flow and reduce leg swelling.

Some things are out of your control, but knowing these risks can empower you to be extra vigilant about safeguarding your vascular health. Risk factors include:
