How To Reduce Varicose Veins Varicose veins make your legs look ugly. There are things you can do to reduce them: * Do regular exercise. Walking, running, cycling & swimming keep blood vessels healthy. * Stick to a high-fibre & low-salt diet. * Kick off the high heels. * Avoid tight-fitting clothings or undergarments that restrict blood flow at the waist, groin & legs (e.g. girdles, stockings & socks). * If elastic stockings are recommended, wear them before getting out of bed in the morning. * Don't leave legs crossed or bent for a long period. * If work requires prolonged standing or sitting, move & stretch those legs, rotate ankles & wiggle the toes once in a while. * Do leg stretching exercises daily. * Raise legs above the level of the heart whenever possible. * Rest those legs on pillows while sleeping. * Stop smoking.
