Tips to avoid Varicose Veins

To prevent Varicose Veins, it's crucial to guard your legs against swelling. Roy Chavarcode gives some tips to keep your legs in good shape.

Don't stand or sit still for a long time. Frequently lift your legs up and down. Take a walk if possible.

Lift your legs beyond the level of your heart and bend your knees to boost blood circulation.

Avoid carrying thins that weigh more than 10 kg.

Exercise regularly to keep fit, or else excess weight will put much pressure on the limbs.

Check your calves every night, and be aware of any lumps.

Don't smoke.

Keep your legs clean and avoid injuries.

If the skin on your leg is dry, use some prescription ointment to rectify this.

Keep your legs raised 15 cm when you sleep at night.

Massage is one way to keep the blood circulation going in the legs.
