To prevent varicose veins, it’s important to adopt habits that promote healthy circulation and reduce strain on your veins. Regular exercise, such as walking or cycling, strengthens the calf muscles, helping blood flow efficiently. Maintaining a healthy weight also reduces pressure on the veins. Periodically elevating your legs can improve circulation, especially if you spend long periods standing or sitting. Wearing compression stockings can provide added support and help reduce swelling. It’s also beneficial to avoid tight clothing around the waist or legs, as these can restrict blood flow and engage in low-impact exercises like yoga to promote vein health. Making these lifestyle changes can help prevent varicose veins or stop them from worsening.
