BUILD THEM
Eat foods rich in Vitamin K2, Vitamin D, and Calcium. The biological role of vitamin K2 is to help move calcium into the proper areas in your body, such as your bones and teeth. It also helps remove calcium from areas where it shouldn’t be, such as in your arteries and soft tissues. Vitamin D provides improved bone development by helping you absorb calcium and there is new evidence that vitamin K2 directs the calcium to your skeleton, while preventing it from being deposited where you don't want it.

Read MoreWomen's Wellness: Varicose Veins
Varicose veins are those annoying, twisted, blue veins close to the surface of your skin. How do they occur? Well, first let's talk about the structure of a vein. The veins are composed of a one-way valve to assist the blood in traveling upwards towards the heart but sometimes these valves leak and blood then flows in the wrong direction. This backward flow causes the vein to overfill and then dilates branches of the veins closer to the skin. Varicose veins can occur by a variety of activities from pregnancy, constipation, heredity, and even sitting cross-legged or standing for long periods of time. It can happen to any of us healthy fashionistas!

What does our lymphatics system do? The lymphatic system can be thought of as a drainage system needed because, as blood circulates through the body, blood plasma leaks into tissues through the thin walls of the capillaries.
