3. Rapid Weight Gain
Gaining weight rapidly can put extra strain on the veins in the lower portion of your body and can interfere with their ability to bring blood back to the lungs and the heart. As a result, bulging or discolored veins may develop on your legs. Although it is hard to make them go away, varicose veins can be reduced by losing weight and easing the pressure placed on the veins, particularly the inferior vena cava, which brings much of the blood that circulates in the lower part of your body back up again.
Stretching can also help encourage normal circulation and can help the blood flow more easily. It is also useful to wear compression hose that helps press the veins and freeing the blood to circulate back up to the lungs and heart. Getting aerobic exercise, such as running, swimming, dancing or cardio exercise, can get your heart pumping and improve circulation.
