Tips to Avoid

Varicose veins can make your legs look ugly. There are some things you can do to mitigate the effects of varicose veins.

  • Do regular exercising
  • Stick to a high fiber and low salt diet
  • Don't wear high heels
  • Avoid tight fitting clothes or undergarments that restrict blood flow at the waist, groin and legs
  • If elastic stockings are recommended, wear them before getting out of bed in the morning
  • Don't leave legs crossed or bent for a long period of time
  • Do leg stretching exercises daily
  • Rest those legs on pillows while sleeping
  • Stop smoking
