Watch Your Diet
Watching your food intake is yet another remedy to try when suffering from swollen feet. It also causes poor blood circulation, resulting in nutritional deficiency and eventual collapse and swelling of various body parts.
To help avoid such problems, watching what you eat and avoiding sodium-rich food and other types that induce food allergies, like dairy, soy, corn, and wheat, will help. Cutting back on processed food and fast food junk also works.
Being overweight or obese is yet another risk factor for edema and swelling in the legs, thanks to the strain on the feet caused by the extra weight. Such strain usually leads to pain, which encourages an even more sedentary lifestyle, resulting in other diseases. To avoid the hoards of health complications associated with obesity, managing your diet and sticking to healthy food consumption is the way to go. Plus, losing weight that adds extra pressure to the feet is a good idea. It also reduces swelling and inflammation, though it is still entirely dependent upon the causative condition of the swollen feet.
