What causes and how can you prevent varicose veins?
Is it from standing on a hard floor all day? I have been a part time cashier for over 6 years now, and I’m afraid I will develop varicose veins. Is there a way I can prevent them? I only work 16-22 hours a week, but sometimes am on my feet 8 or more hours a day. Any helpful thoughts would be welcome. Thanks.
i’m 44 and worked retail my whole life and they are coming to haunt me now! You don’t see them when you’re young, they come later. They are hereditary, so check with your mom to see if she has them. But, you can help keep they at bay by wearing support hose, I know they aren’t attractive and cool while you’re young, but you’ll thank yourself later! Wear good shoes. Rest your legs as much as you can, on breaks, etc.
It’s heredity, but yes, it will get worse if you’re on your feet a lot. Really tight control top nylons will help.
