Try to avoid standing for long periods of time, and if you must (at work etc), wear "sensible" (ie low heeled, comfortable) shoes.
Tight pants and high heels are not good for your circulation and general health.
Watch your weight, obesity or wild fluctuations in weight (as in yo-yo dieting) can cause them, as can pregnancy.
Get plenty of exercise, esp. swimming, walking or aerobics. This helps your entire circulatory system as well as keeping you fit and trim.
Elevate your legs on a couple of pillows or similar for 30 min, once or twice a day.
Make sure you get enough calcium and magnesium in your diet. Leg pain at night is often associated with a lack of these two elements.
If you have very pale skin, your veins show more than they would if you were tanned or naturally dark. Try tanning makeup on your legs.

When I turned 28 I already had been in pain, embarrassed, and scared of becoming pregnant. I didn't want my big blue varicose veins to get worse. The All Natural Varicose & Spider Vein Solution program was an easy read and easy to do. Within 21 days there was a big difference in how my legs looked and I can wear shorts without feeling embarrassed. I feel so much better with more energy and for giving me back a healthier body, and the legs that a 28 year old should have.
Naturally heal your veins?
