>>Although varicose veins certainly lack popularity --
>>they are right down there with cellulite for the least
>>desirable bodily attribute -- they are actually quite
>>"popular" in that a great many people have them.Up to
>>30 million Americans have these ropey, bulging veins,
>>usually on the legs. Women age 30 and older are most
>>commonly affected, but no one is immune. Even Mick
>>Jagger of the Rolling Stones "can't get no
>>satisfaction" -- he reportedly has calves crisscrossed
>>by them.There are things you can do to reduce them:
>>Do regular exercise. Walking, running, cycling &
>>swimming keep blood vessels healthy.
>>Stick to a high-fibre & low-salt diet. Kick off the
>>high heels. Avoid tight-fitting clothings or
>>undergarments that restrict blood flow at the waist,
>>groin & legs (e.g. girdles, stockings & socks). If
>>elastic stockings are recommended, wear them before
>>getting out of bed in the morning. Don't leave legs
>>crossed or bent for a long period. If work requires
>>prolonged standing or sitting, move & stretch those
>>legs, rotate ankles & wiggle the toes once in a while.
>>Do leg stretching exercises daily. Raise legs above
>>the level of the heart whenever possible. Rest those
>>legs on pillows while sleeping. Stop smoking Although
>>varicose veins aren't usually considered a significant
>>health problem, they can make life miserable.
>>"Varicose veins shouldn't be viewed as only a cosmetic
>>concern," said Dr. Alan Hirsch, a specialist in
>>vascular medicine at the University of Minnesota.
>>Often, the discomfort over the veins' appearance is
>>equalled by the aching pain they can cause,
>>particularly after a long day of sitting or standing.
>>In addition, the veins may signal a higher risk for
