hey guys dr. Burke here in this video I

want to share with you what to do if you

have varicose veins now I will tell you

that most herbal remedies most vitamins

for varicose veins just don’t work I’ve

tried so many different remedies and you

just end up it’s expensive urine it just

doesn’t seem to correct it I’m going to

show you what does correct it but let’s

just first explain what the veins do now

veins carry blood from your extremities

your fingers and your toes all the way

back up to the heart okay so the heart

pushes blood through the artery system

and then the veins bring it back to the

heart so it’s a returned blood flow and

one of the biggest differentiation from

arteries to veins is veins don’t have

the assistance of the heart as a pump

okay so arteries can just take LA the

heart to pump blood through the body but

veins need your muscles to contract to

push the blood back to the heart so if

you’re too inactive and you’re not

exercising and you’re sitting all day

chances are you’re going to develop some

varicose veins or spider veins okay now

there’s other causes of varicose veins

as well especially from pregnancy

that’s an estrogen problem it’s also

when you have developing this baby this

huge mass in your abdomen

you could cut off circulation you can

have the excess weight that puts

pressure on those veins and also you

have the relationship between estrogen

and the side effect one of the side

effects is spider veins or varicose

veins okay so that could be a situation

too so really the solution is to get out

there and start exercising okay it’s as

simple as that you want to start doing

walking workouts on a consistent basis

now depending how bad the problem is

like some people have really bad

varicosities or varicose veins that they

might need to have those removed okay

because you have other veins that can

take up the slack but if it’s a medium

problem or it’s an easier issue

exercise should handle it but it takes

like a year to two years to correct that

it’s not going to happen overnight so

that’s one thing now for spider veins

that’s a little bit different you want

to do the same thing but one of the

interesting things

nutritionally that will cause a spider

vein is excessive vitamin C now I’m not

talking about the food based vitamin C

I’m talking about a set excessive

ascorbic acid which is synthetic vitamin

C so people that do grams of ascorbic

acid actually create deficiencies in the

other vitamin C complex

normally vitamin C has many parts to it

and so when you buy vitamin C from the

health of store what you’re really

getting in most cases is a bunch of

synthetic ascorbic acid specially if

it’s like 500 milligrams or more if

that’s the case just realize you’re

buying something that’s made from

cornstarch in sulfuric acid there’s

really no vitamin C in there okay so

they sometime I don’t know who did this

but they change the name of ascorbic

acid to being vitamin C when it’s really

one little fraction of the vitamin C

complex the best source of vitamin C is

from food or food concentrates so you

want to do a lot of vegetables and

things like that okay so if you want to

correct spider veins you just want a lot

more vitamin C foods in the diet over a

long period of time okay and avoid any

type of ascorbic acid synthetic vitamin

C so what’s your next step get out there

start walking start exercising on a

regular basis and that will correct the

pooling of the varicose veins

a normal vein you have this straight

shot the blood returns back to the heart

in a varicose vein it pulls the valves

get loose it becomes enlarged and then

you get pooling of blood which could

create problems with strokes as well so

we want to go from here to here start

exercising start walking I will see you
