Thanksgiving Foods That Improve Vascular Health: Chocolate, Wine and Cranberries
Web@ljvascular.com2014-11-27T00:07:26-08:00How Chocolate, Wine and Cranberries Are Good For Veins
Foods that are rich in flavinoids may improve symptoms of venous disease. Flavonoids help protect plants from environmental toxins and help repair damage. They can be found in a variety of foods, such as fruits and vegetables. When we eat foods rich in flavonoids, it appears that we also benefit from this “antioxidant” power. In addition to having antioxidant qualities, research shows that flavinoids have other potential influences on vascular health, such as lowering blood pressure, improving blood flow to the brain and heart, and making blood platelets less sticky and able to clot.Flavinoids are also well known for their ‘venoactive’ effects on the blood vessels and have been proven to reduce symptoms of venous disease such as leg aching, heaviness and swelling.
Foods that are flavinoid rich include cocoa and chocolate, cranberries, apples, peanuts, onions, tea and red wine.
Remind the cook to use compression socks- long hours of standing in the kitchen can cause leg fatigue, heaviness and swelling.
Happy Thanksgiving.

Dr. Bunke Trains Doctors Using Vein Simulator
La Jolla Vein Care2021-11-05T11:34:45-07:00Dr. Bunke Paquette instructed doctors on advanced techniques of sclerotherapy last week at a workshop hosted by the Society for Vascular Medicine. Dr. Bunke used a special training model, called a ‘sclerotrainer,’ which allows educators to teach vein injection techniques on a lifelike model that includes veins filled with fluid that is the same viscosity as blood, of varying sizes and depth and veins. This device made it possible for many clinicians to perfect different injection techniques for tiny telangiectatic and reticular veins.
La Jolla Vein Care’s Dr. Bunke Paquette instructs doctors on techniques for sclerotherapy of telangiectasias and reticular veins on a life-like model of veins.
The Sclerotrainer is a lifelike model that includes veins filled with fluid that is the same viscosity as blood, of varying sizes and depth and veins. This allows educators to teach vein injection techniques for the treatment of small spider and reticular veins.
The La Jolla Vein Care staff also helped out with the lesson and shared their expertise with the physicians.
