1- STAND TALL AND SIT WITH LEGS UNCROSSED: both good posture and sitting with your feet flat on the ground help blood circulate freely throughout your body,decreasing pressure inside leg veins. 2-BOOST BLOOD FLOW WITH BLOCKS: use wooden blocks to raise the foot of your bed about two inches off the floor; this helps the blood flow back from your legs to your heart while you sleep. 3-AVOID STANDING IN ONE SPOT FOR HOURS: if your job requires that you must, shift your weight often from one leg to another and bounce up and down on the tips of your toes several times an hour. 4-BREAKFAST ON HIGH-FIBER CEREAL: a fiber-rich diet helps prevent constipation, and that's key:straining to have a bowl movement puts pressure on the veins in your lower legs, which, over time,promotes the development of varicose veins. tasty cereal choices include: post shredded wheat spoon size wheat 'n  bran and kashi golean crunchy fiber twigs. 5-WEAR THE RIGHT SOCKS ON LONG TRIPS: flying or taking a long drive?  to keep everything flowing in your lower extremities, wear properly fitted, below-the-knee compression stockings that provide at least 15 to 30 mmHG of pressure at the ankle. find them in pharmacies or online at compressionstore.com. HOT WAY TO STOP SPIDER VEINS!season your foods with cayenne pepper.  not only can make your meals taste delicious,  this spice also kicks up circulation by expanding the walls of the blood vessels and reducing stress on the capillaries, helping to prevent spider veins.
