Varicose veins
Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted, painful superficial veins resulting from poorly functioning valves.
Causes, incidence, and risk factors In normal veins, valves in the vein keep blood moving forward toward the heart. With varicose veins, the valves do not function properly, allowing blood to remain in the vein. Pooling of blood in a vein causes it to enlarge.
This process usually occurs in the veins of the legs, although it may occur elsewhere. Varicose veins are common, affecting mostly women.
Causes include congenitally defective valves, thrombophlebitis, and pregnancy. Prolonged standing and increased pressure within the abdomen may increase susceptibility to the development of varicose veins or aggravate the condition.
Primary varicose veins occur because of congenitally defective valves, or without a known cause. Secondary varicose veins occur because of another condition, such as occurs when a pregnant woman develops varicose veins.

Yes it is true. My mother-in-law has been standing at her job for 30+ years. She has terrible vericose veins.

it is inevitable for varicose veins to be present in everybody's life as people get older regardless of the work that person did. it's like greying hair or wrinkles... you're just going to have to live with it or have it removed by a professional. Some people even have varicose veins at their younger years but that is due to family history.

Yes, but also jobs where you stand at least 2 hours a day help you to loose weight. I don't mean you stand for 5 minutes, then sit, I mean stand for 2 hours straight. I did loose weight when I started to work at a grocery store, and we were not allowed to sit at our registers. I think it has something to do with the calories burned by you body having to support your full weight.

Horse Chestnut Seed extract and/or Grapeseed extract can be very helpful. Magnet insoles help relief aching feet and legs. A good exercise program is excellent for good circulation. Take vitamin C with bioflavinoids for blood vessel health. Watch your weight and eat healthy.

If your are genetically predisposed to having varicose veins, standing a lot may aggravate the condition.
