Water Miracles Cure - Edema

As mentioned, edema is swelling in the tissues as a result of fluid buildup. This occurs when poor circulation, chronic dehydration, or other medical conditions prevent the adequate removal of toxic wastes from parts of the body such as the extremities. A common side effect of obesity is swelling of the feet and ankles. This can be alleviated in two ways: first, and most importantly, by drinking a great deal more water. Second, and concurrently, eliminate any diuretics such as coffee, cola drinks, and alcohol from your diet. The increased intake of water will help the bloodstream transport wastes away from the cells more efficiently. Stopping intake of diuretics allows the water you consume to remain in the body and do its job. You should notice a positive effect in about two to three days. Of course, it is then important to continue this new habit so that the edema does not recur.
As always, make sure your doctor is working with you to solve this problem.
Water: The Miracle Cure
One of the usual recommendations for conditions of edema in the feet and legs is to lie prone with the legs raised. This does indeed help the circulation mechanisms in the legs remove the buildup of wastes by using gravity to aid the blood in returning to the heart and lungs. It’s always good to take time to relax and put your feet up, no matter what the reason!
