VARICOSE VEINS PREVENTION

Exercise regularly to improve your circulation, tone your leg muscles, and keep your weight down. Change positions or shift your weight frequently if you must sit or stand for long periods, and don't cross your legs or wear tight clothes. If you're pregnant, sleep on your left side to keep the weight of the foetus off the major vein that runs down the right side of your back, and put your feet up every chance you get. (Keep a box or stool under your desk at work.)
