Prevention of Varicose Veins

The prevention of varicose veins begins by knowing the risk factors and working on the ones you can control (such as obesity and prolonged standing). Improving circulation and muscle tone, especially in the lower legs, will also help with varicose vein prevention.

 

But, as with anything in life, there are no guarantees. You could do all the right things and still develop varicose veins because there are so many factors involved, including ones that you have no control over (such as genetics, age, and hormonal changes). But even if prevention is not possible, these strategies may help decrease the effects of varicose veins.
