Here are some lifestyle tips on how to manage mild varicose vein conditions:
Losing weight can reduce pressure on the veins
Exercise regularly to improve vein health
Regularly exercise your calf muscles to increase blood flow
Regularly change sitting or standing positions to prevent blood pools in the legs
Wear compression stockings to improve circulation
Elevate your legs when resting to encourage blood flow back to the heart
Reduce salt intake to minimise swelling
Eat a high-fibre diet to prevent constipation, which can contribute to varicose veins
Avoid crossing your legs when sitting, as this can restrict blood flow
