"How to Avoid Varicose Veins
We all know them. Many of us try to hide them, but what if we could avoid them altogether? Varicose veins, according to WebMD.com, “are twisted, enlarged veins near the surface of the skin. They are most common in the legs and ankles. They usually aren't serious, but they can sometimes lead to other problems.” When the veins in your legs stop working properly, stop regulating the flow of blood back up toward your heart, the blood collects in your legs and the veins become enlarged and twisted and very noticeable. Unfortunately, as you get older you’re more prone to developing varicose veins, as are those people with a family history of varicose veins.

There are a few tricks and tactics that can help you avoid varicose veins:

* Get active! It is a recurring theme, but regular physical activity is the best way to keep your whole body in shape, including the veins in your legs.
* Avoid sitting or standing motionless for extended periods of time. Try to elevate your legs whenever possible and don’t sit with crossed legs for hours on end.
* You could also try wearing compression socks or stockings.
* From the world of natural health solutions, there’s Horse Chestnut. This herbal health supplement is actually prescribed in Europe for symptoms like varicose veins, leg pain and itching. The key nutrient in Horse Chestnut is escin, a compound that can help support normal blood vessel function."

I hope it helps..

P/S: Look into Ginkgo supplement too as it is known for encouraging blood circulation. Most vein can be too visible when blood circulation is bad!
