Elevate your feet as much as possible, especially when sitting for long periods. If you are on a plane for 3+ hours, periodically get up and walk around to prevent blood clots. If in a car, stop and walk around periodically. And, limit salt and alcohol intake. Have fun on vacation!

Agree with Dr. Ferranti. Reduce your intake of salt and abstain from alcohol. Alcohol is a poison that never did anybody any good, ever, so stay away from it. It will destroy your brain cells, facilitate development of cancer in many organs, including breast, cause hepatitis, cirrhosis and pancreatitis etc. There is no safe level of alcohol intake. Quit while you are ahead.
