Take three or four 10-minute breaks daily to elevate your legs above
the level of your heart, lie down with your legs resting at a higher level
Avoiding long periods of sitting or standing. Shift from one leg to
the other or walk gently back and forth, frequently to encourage blood
flow
Exercise and get your legs moving. Walking is a great way to encourage
blood circulation in your legs

Sheer support stockings or panty hose (or for men, support socks), can
reduce leg and foot discomfort in people who stand for extended periods,
especially on hard floors. Support hosiery keeps blood from pooling in
the feet and ankles, thereby reducing swelling
