Swollen Feet

So Doc, please tell me, how do I treat these Swollen Feet of mine?

Well, swollen feet are pretty common, and they happen to just about everyone at some point in their lives. Swollen feet are a nuisance and horribly uncomfortable. Shoes do not fit properly, socks pull tight against the ankles, and they just look abnormal. Of course they do, your feet are swollen.

So how can we fix them doc? The truth is that swollen feet are common and that there is not quick fix or rapid remedy. These swollen feet typically come from a disorder called pedal oedema or when translated directly, swollen feet. However, other causes and factors contribute to this swelling disorder including congestive heart failure, malnutrition, kidney failure, leaky blood vessels, and low blood protein content.

The best way to combat the swelling of your feet is through some form of moderate exercise. This is a natural remedy that allows the blood to flow more freely through your veins and vessels. Another sure fire method to help in the reduction of foot swelling is to watch your diet and be cautious about your sodium intake. Of course there are numerous diet fads available that promise and guarantee rapid results, but none of these are conducive to healthy feet. Fat and sodium are the enemies of healthy blood low and should be consumed in moderation to help in the reduction of the potential hazards associated with swollen feet.

Swollen feet can also be treated by other means as well. In addition to diet and exercise doctors recommend that when your feet do swell, try to stay off of them. Sit down and relax those puppies. Always remove your shoes and socks and elevate your feet and legs. A pillow placed under your heels may also help reduce the swelling in your feet. But before any additional action is taken or if the swelling in your feet does not subside, be sure to consult a physician.
