Slim down your plate
Limit your intake of high-salt, processed foods, alcohol, and caffeine, which cause fluid retention. Instead, focus on foods rich in fiber, water (cucumber, watermelon), and potassium (bananas, spinach) to support your circulatory system.
Straining infusions: simple and effective.
Infusions of cherry stems, parsley, or dandelion have mild diuretic properties. They help eliminate excess fluids and can reduce bloating.
Footwear selection is important:
avoid high heels and stiff, tight shoes. Choose comfortable, flexible, and breathable shoes. If your feet tend to swell, choosing a slightly larger size may improve comfort.
Consult if symptoms persist.
If, despite trying all these methods, your feet remain swollen for several days or develop redness, pain, or fever, don’t hesitate to consult your doctor. This could indicate a circulatory, lymphatic, or kidney problem that shouldn’t be ignored.
In short,
swollen feet shouldn’t be ignored, but they’re not inevitable. With simple steps, a balanced diet, and some natural remedies, you can quickly relieve this unpleasant sensation. Why not try a foot bath or self-massage tonight? Your body will thank you.
