While genetics can be a factor in developing varicose veins, there are some steps you can take to lessen your risk of developing them yourself. These steps include:
• EXERCISE to promote proper circulation
• PROPER NUTRITION, such as limiting salt intake, can reduce swelling and water retention
• ELEVATE YOUR LEGS when sitting for long periods of time
• WEAR COMPRESSION STOCKINGS to help slow the onset or progression of varicose veins
