Our veins are the blood vessels which transport blood from all the organs of our body. The veins in our legs must work against gravity to bring the blood toward our heart. They have valves which act as one-way flaps to prevent blood from flowing backwards. If one of the valves fails to function, blood would seep back and would begin to pool in our lower legs. It would then cause for the wall of our veins to weaken and bulge over time which results to varicose veins. Having this condition could be painful and disfiguring for women and men.

posted by afriyan on 1:55 PMAmericans spend millions of dollars per day on diets, supplements, gym memberships and a variety of exercise equipment in an effort to lose weight. An incredibly large percentage of people fail to lose weight because they don't stick to the diet or workout program they set out for themselves. More importantly, recent studies have shown that not just being overweight, but the distribution of body fat increases the risk for heart attacks, strokes, and premature death. People that carry excess weight around their waist "belly fat", are at an increased risk.
