In many cases, lifestyle changes may help improve mild swelling.
Try elevating your legs for 15 to 30 minutes in the evening. Raising your legs above heart level can help fluid move back through the circulation system.
Regular walking and light exercise improve blood flow and reduce fluid buildup. Avoid sitting or standing in one position for too long.
Drinking enough water may sound surprising, but dehydration can actually make fluid retention worse. Reducing salty processed foods can also help significantly.
Compression socks are often recommended for people with circulation issues or jobs that require long hours on their feet.
