Through this health news article, different ways to prevent varicose veins throughout the holiday season are reviewed through a local San Diego newspaper. Some of the holiday tips to varicose vein prevention include:

• Exercise on a regular basis– exercise can improve your circulation and overall vein strength. Get outside and get some physical exercise!

• Take breaks– while there is always a flurry of activities during the holidays, it is important to take breaks from extensive sitting and standing for the health of your veins.

• Elevate your legs when resting– elevating the legs can decrease spider and varicose vein formation.

• Avoid uncomfortable clothes and shoes-flat shoes and looser clothing can encourage blood flow.

• Monitor your weight– increases in body weight can lead to an increase in varicose veins.
