Slim down your plate
Limit your intake of foods high in salt, processed foods, alcohol, and caffeine, which cause water retention. Instead, focus on foods rich in fiber, water (cucumber, watermelon), and potassium (bananas, spinach) to help your circulatory system.
Straining infusions: simple and effective.
Infusions made from cherry stems, parsley, or dandelion have mild diuretic properties. They help eliminate excess fluids and can reduce the feeling of 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 are accompanied by redness, pain, or fever, don’t hesitate to consult your doctor. This may indicate a problem with your circulation, lymphatic system, or kidneys that shouldn’t be ignored.
In short,
foot swelling shouldn’t be ignored, but it’s 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.
