With few exceptions, most people can enjoy traveling. But unless you stay well, even the Seven Wonders of the World lose some of their charm and glamor. So stay well, en-joy your trip, and come home safely. travel especially, the forces of of inactivity can bog down normal .circulation. Breaking up a long distance trip relieves the monotony and gives you a chance to recover from travel strain. It also gives your body a chance to adjust gradually to the differ-ent climates or altitudes you may encounter at your des-tination. If your doctor has put you on a special diet for a health condition, mention this when you make your travel reser-vations. Most airlines, steam-ships and railroads are pre-pared to serve you the food appropriate to your diet if they are notified in advance.

More and more Americans are traveling to far-of- f places, and the password seems to be: "The change will do you good." But for certain people, some changes and especially some sudden changes may be harm-ful rather than beneficial. In the days when people traveled by foot, wagon or slow-goin- g ocean vessels, fast and drastic changes of envir-onment were impossible. But not with today's jets. Here are some points you should consider while making your vacation travel plans. Be sure you are in good physical condition for the type of travel planned. If you are a heart or high blood pressure patient, discuss your plans with your doctor. Tell him your method of transportation and how long you'll be gone. Have some idea of the climate and altitudes you'll meet and the temperatures you're likely to encounter. He can suggest ways to prevent or at least minimize the effects of high altitude sickness, for example. If you're traveling from mod-erate to excessively hot and humid climate, remember that weather extremes, either very hot or cold, put more strain on- the heart. Add unusual ex-ertions sightseeing can be hard work. to weather ex-tremes, either very hot or cold, put more strain on the heart, and your heart must really do yeoman labor to supply the blood requirements of your body. During exercise the heart must also supply in-creased amounts of blood to working muscles. Most commercial planes are pressurized nowodays but a heart patient should check this point when making reserva-tions. During long flights, it's a good idea to walk around to help blood circulation, par-ticularly in your legs.

'".erstand the why's and ' varicose veins you h should know something about the circulatory system which carries blood to every part of your body. The heart, of cour-se, is its center and dynamo. It sends blood out through the arteries and is the depot to which the blood returns thr-ough the veins. On its way back from the legs to the heart, the blood has a long uphill climb. Three things help in this upward journey. Blood pressure, strong in the arteries, is much di-minished in the veins but still gives some push to the blood. The movement of leg muscles during normal activity or ex-ercise helps massage the blood upward through vein walls. The third aid is a very ingenious anti-gravi- ty device: tiny cup-like valves which section off the veins and maintain one-way traffic. These valves (open to let the blood travel upward, then close tightly so that blood will not fall back. Varicose veins develop when vein walls or valves become weakened. Some people may be born with weak vein walls. But disease, injury, 'overweight, tight clothing, pregnacy and other stresses can also damage or put greater pressure on the . veins. When walls of the veins are weak, they may give way un-der the pressure of blood and sag outward at the site of the valves,' As a result, the valves cannot close tightly to regulate the flow of blood. This, in turn, further mprMRpn the pressure of blood against the vein walls, which may balloon out and welcome "vari-cosed- ." Standing or sitting for long periods is hard on people with varicose veins because blood accumulates in the lower legs and puts greater pressure on the veins. This is one reason why doctors recommend that such persons put their feet up at the office if they can get away with it, at home watch-ing television or doing sit-do-chores. Even if you don't have varicose veins it is a good idea to walk around ev-ery half hour or so during a long plane or train trip. In-terrupt long motor trips to let the whole family get out and stretch their legs. Periodical medical check-up- s are advisable for people with varicose veins, says the Utah Heart Association. Let Your doctor decide whether or not you need treatment. If your veins seem to be getting worse, your doctor can prevent ser-ious damage if you see him soon enough.
