Does caffeine affect blood sugar? Answer From M. Regina Castro, M.D.

The average U.S. adult drinks about two 8-ounce (240-milliliter) cups of coffee a day, which can contain around 280 milligrams of caffeine. For most young, healthy adults, caffeine doesn't appear to noticeably affect blood sugar (glucose) levels, and having up to 400 milligrams a day appears to be safe. Some studies suggest that drinking coffee — whether caffeinated and decaffeinated — may actually reduce your risk of developing type 2 diabetes. If you already have diabetes, however, the impact of caffeine on insulin action may be associated with higher or lower blood sugar levels. For some people with diabetes, about 200 milligrams of caffeine — or the equivalent of one to two 8-ounce (240-milliliter) cups of plain, brewed coffee — may cause this effect. Caffeine affects every person differently. If you have diabetes or you're struggling to control your blood sugar levels, limiting the amount of caffeine in your diet may provide a benefit.

What exercises Not to Do with varicose veins?

Any exercises that put excessive pressure on your legs and your abs may worsen your varicose veins. For example, crunches, squats, and sit-ups can create too much stress in your veins. You should also avoid doing planks or other postures that strain your abdominal muscles.

veinreliever.com - Exercise Guide for Varicose Veins

Varicose veins are often painful and hard to manage, particularly if you like to exercise regularly. The unique strain these veins put on your body can make some exercises out of bounds for you. However, other activities may help manage your pain. The following exercise guide will provide you with the important information you need to exercise with varicose veins safely.

WHY EXERCISE CAN HURT WITH VARICOSE VEINS

Varicose veins often cause pain because of the added pressure they put on your legs. When you exercise, this pressure can increase and cause even more pain. Exercise causes increased pressure because it forces your muscles to contract. This, in turn, puts more pressure on the veins in your legs, which can cause them to bulge and become even more painful. Additionally, your varicose veins may make it difficult to move around and participate in some exercises. However, not all exercise is bad for varicose veins. In fact, some exercises may actually help reduce the pain you’re experiencing. The key is to find the right balance of activity that works for you.
