The health of your veins provides a useful glimpse into your overall health. A key part of the circulatory system, the veins return deoxygenated blood to the heart.

Lymphedema is a chronic condition characterized by an accumulation of protein-rich fluid called lymph that is transported by your cardiovascular system to your tissues and organs. Normally, this […]
Your veins carry blood back to your heart from all over the body, including the legs. They have to work against gravity to do this.

The veins are awfully far away from the heart, so the heart’s pumping […]
Our circulatory system is what keeps our blood flowing throughout the body. Arteries send fresh blood from the heart to the tissues and organs, and the veins take the “used” blood back to the heart for reprocessing and refreshing. After blood passes from the arteries (specifically, the tiny arterioles) through the capillaries, it moves into […]

Varicose veins are the result of faulty vein valves, which normally help to push “used” blood back to the heart for reoxygenation and recirculation.
