THE SYMPTOM: Varicose veins

Your action plan:

  • Go for regular walks to help improve your circulation
  • Wear support tights every day - pop on a pair before getting out of bed in the morning
  • Nutritionists say a diet rich in vitamin C (citrus fruits, strawberries, kiwis and green, leafy vegetables) helps keep your veins healthy and elastic
  • Rest with your feet and legs raised against the wall for 15 mins a day
