It’s unsurprising that there are so many amazing women entrepreneurs creating unique organizations – the age of the fun, fearless female is ever expanding. According to Forbes, women entrepreneurs and women led startups are becoming more prominent than ever.
Thriving as a medical entrepreneur in the healthcare world, Dr. Nisha Bunke is not only actively involved in clinical research but the co-editor of The Vein Book – the most widely used textbook for vascular physicians. On the cover of this month’s San Diego Woman magazine, Bunke was also a finalist for San Diego Business Journal Women Who Mean Business Award 2015. This summer, get ready for her latest publication, Are We Just Being Vein?, the user’s guide to beautiful legs!
Discomfort from this pesky varicose veins? Bunke has a few helpful tips on how to reduce that pain and keep your legs sexy all summer long:
- Stay Mobile: To keep blood moving when you have to sit or stand for long periods, try taking walking breaks or walking during your lunch hour at work. While sitting, you could try flexing your feet up and down 10 times an hour. When on your feet, raise yourself up and down on your toes or rock back and forth on your heels.
- Exercise: Good for your veins, exercise improves blood flow. Whether you’re walking, cycling, or swimming – boost your vein health with some movement.
- Compression Stockings: Meant to prevent blood from flowing backward, these elastic stockings squeeze or compress the veins. I know what you’re thinking: how stylish are these stockings? Made in a variety of styles and fashions, including leggings, these aren’t your grandmother’s compression accessories. In order to actually work, make sure they are graduated, medical grade compression. Ditch over-the-counter support hose or TED hose – they won’t reduce symptoms in venous disease for active patients.
- Soothe With Supplements: Supplements such as horse chestnut and grape seed extract can help to reduce symptoms of venous disease.
If these tips just aren’t enough, La Jolla Vein Care has a NEW non-surgical treatment to remove those unsightlyveins. Performed in-office, it can even be done over lunch time – head back to work in no time!
