What Varicose Veins Have To Do With Connective Tissue? And How You Can Effectively Support Your Skin.

OATMEAL BOTTLES FOR GLOWING SKIN

When it comes to skin care, we often use numerous products with long ingredient lists. Yet we often have products in our cupboards that do us good! Oatmeal, for example, is a real all-rounder, both for your digestion and your skin.

A natural source of zinc and copper, oatmeal provides the valuable nutrients and trace elements your skin needs to maintain its natural glow. They are also very rich in B vitamins, such as the valuable biotin, which helps maintain normal skin. The amino acid L-arginine, which plays a role in cell renewal and is therefore also important for collagen formation in the body, supports your connective tissue, as do the selenium, manganese and iron contained in oat flakes.

You may already know that oatmeal can also stimulate your digestion and have a positive effect on your intestinal flora. As the center of our well-being, the gut is also directly linked to the appearance of our skin.

Your skin can also benefit from the external effects of oatmeal: for example, an oatmeal bath can have a soothing effect on the skin. Simply place a small cloth bag or sock filled with oatmeal in the bath water. The proteins in oatmeal can help regulate the pH of the skin, which can help relieve atopic dermatitis and itching. Certain antioxidants found in oatmeal may also soothe itching.

Ground oatmeal can be used with water and possibly some sugar to make a scrub or mask.

ICE BATHS FOR CIRCULATION

This has a long tradition in Scandinavian countries, but has become very popular here:

Ice baths have many health benefits. You may be familiar with the effect of alternating showers: the cold works on the cardiovascular system and stimulates blood circulation. In the long run, you’ll boost your immune system and even your athletic performance.

Your REGENERATING CAPACITY is also increased: the body learns to recover more quickly after exercise and to handle stressful situations in a more relaxed way.

INFLAMMATION RATE can be reduced and FAT COMBUSTION can be stimulated.

The Many Health Benefits are Also Visible on the Outside:

Ice baths strengthen your connective tissue, can prevent cellulite, and give you firmer skin and a healthy glow.

Thanks to the release of adrenaline, you will feel a real boost of energy immediately after the bath. If you feel tired, it’s a sign that you’ve been in the water too long – cut down on the time next time.

There are a few things to remember if you want to enjoy the benefits of an ice bath:

Preparation is key! Start with alternating showers to get your body used to the cold. Make sure you breathe slowly and deliberately. Even if you are well prepared, do not jump into the water, but enter slowly to avoid the shock of the cold. Stay in the water for only a few seconds at first, increasing the time as you go.

We lose most of our body heat through our head – keep your head out of the water or wear a hat to protect it from the cold. Also take someone with you who can help in an emergency.

WHAT SHOULD BE DONE ABOUT VARICOSE VEINS AND SPIDER VEINS?

Varicose veins are dilated veins just below the surface of the skin. You can recognize them by their light red to dark blue veins, nodes or spots. Telangiectasias are a subcategory of varicose veins.

Most often, varicose veins appear on the legs, but they can also appear on other parts of the body. They occur when the elasticity of the blood vessels decreases and the venous valves that carry blood to the heart no longer close properly.

There are Many Reasons for Varicose veins:

You can prevent varicose veins by improving circulation. It’s important to get plenty of exercise and eat a balanced diet.

Alternating showers and massages also stimulate circulation.

If your job requires you to stand or sit for long periods of time, elevate your legs regularly, for example by putting them on a stool at work or on a pillow at night.

You may have heard of compression stockings – make sure they fit properly and have them fitted at a medical supply store.

RECOMMENDED PRODUCTS FOR SKIN AND CONNECTIVE TISSUE

The skin is our largest organ and its capabilities are often underestimated. For example, the skin can act as an organ for absorbing nutrients and nourishing the entire body. On the other hand, the skin also needs to be well nourished internally in order to remain elastic down to its deepest structures:

• Sango Coral
• Zinc
• Vitamin C
