Varicose veins, if you already have them, are permanent fixtures unless they are treated. It is by far better to prevent them in the first place. Good circulation is vital to preventing varicose veins. Here are some tips:
- Cross the legs at the ankles instead of the knees when sitting.
- Avoid high heels, which limit the use of the calf muscles.
- Avoid restrictive clothing which limit blood flow in the groin or calf.
- Avoid prolonged sitting or standing.
- Take breaks to elevate the legs or walk around to help move the blood along and prevent valve failure.
