HI

Greetings from Dr.Divakara.P
Thanks for choosing healthcaremagic.

Walking is absolutely safe in Varicose veins . In fact walking increases the muscle contraction of the legs which in turn pumps the stagnated blood in the varicose veins upwards. This prevents or slows the progression of Varicose veins.

Avoid standing idle or sitting idle. Even while sitting keep flexing and extending your feet.

Hope this information was useful to you.
Any clarifications feel free to ask.

The only permanent solution for Varicose veins is Surgery. There is no dietary restrictions for varicose veins.
