How do you prevent getting varicose veins in the future?
I want to go into cosmetology, and I know that standing on your feet all day sometimes cause Varicose Veins, and I was just wondering if there was anything i could start doing now to prevent them. I’m 15 and I already work in a salon, but I don’t cut hair yet, just wondering if I could do anything early to prevent them, thanks.
Don’t cross your legs when you are sitting.
Keep blood flow steady.
When possible, wear pressure stockings. (they look much better than our mother’s did)
Put your feet up a bit every day.
Unfortunately, part of it is genetics, so you may do everything you can and still get them.
What my doctor told me was “Stay thin”
A low sugar intake would help. See items 33 and 135 in http://www.rheumatic.org/sugar.htm .
