Progressive worsening despite dietary changes
Swelling that pits (when you press it, the indentation remains)
See a doctor promptly. These could signal blood clots, heart failure, kidney problems, or other conditions requiring medical treatment.
The Bottom Line
Swelling in your hands and feet is often manageable with simple dietary adjustments:
Increase potassium-rich foods to balance sodium
Add magnesium-rich foods to reduce inflammation
Include natural diuretics like cucumber and asparagus
Emphasize anti-inflammatory foods like fatty fish and berries
