    It makes sense to change salt to Morton’s LITE. Salt. It is NOT Sodium/ Chloride but Potassium/Chloride. The body generally benefits from additional potassium as it works in conjunction with magnesium and these two together help to keep blood pressure in check. Also eating more plant foods help and slowly getting more exercise helps. Yes, this LITERALLY still tastes like salt and IS IODIZED,
    If you like oriental food like I do, it is better to use the low sodium soy sauce. Eating a whole food plant-based diet helped me. I lost 80 lbs. along with walking.
    Anything which helps blood pressure to be more in control helps to reduce swollen legs and feet. Foods good for blood pressure control are beets and beet greens, and grapefruit and its juice. Del Monte makes a square jar grapefruit which is very nice. We find it at the BIG Walmart in town and in the produce section, in a refrigerated case. We are not diabetic so we get the light syrup. But artificially sweetened is also available.
    Learn about what plant foods can do to help one with longevity and with weight loss as this helps reduce leg and foot swelling as well as controlling weight and blood pressure.
    The longest lived people on Earth, eat this way. We are smart and can make food taste fantastic without meat.
    I was in a wheelchair at age 60 but changed my diet and have lived free of that wheelchair for 10+ years.
    I do not need to take meds unless I have a flare which is rare and usually coincides with eating meals out.

    Your doctor also has to LISTEN to you. After hearing it's normal for a women your age for over a year I went to a different doctor to get treatment. The damage in my legs could have been avoided only if my primary doctor would have listened to my concerns.

      My regular/primary Dr didn't listen to me neither. All she wants to do is give medicine. I hate medication and would rather go the natural way of healing. I finally asked my podiatrist for help and he referred me to a good PT.

    Thank you Kelly for touching on those topics.. I have a lot of discussions with my nurse as my Dr too busy..my problems started 2012 with a broken ankle then surgery 2013 .. I have a blood clot on my lung and I’m on blood thinners and I have leg ulcers and varicose eczema. I have had foam injections in my veins in my legs to help heal my ulcers and I have them mainly after a haemorrhage where I have to call a ambulance. Last February I was cooking at home when I felt immense pain in my left hip and I was rushed to hospital a few days later and I had 2 fractures in my pelvis so 11 weeks in hospital and I’m home and trying to be normal. I’m only 62 years old but I’m in compression bandages on both legs atm. I have a home nurse who comes twice a week. I live alone and I cope pretty well. Thank you for your videos and letting me tell my long story 🙄🇦🇺 regards from South Australia 👋

    What a wonderful channel you have. I share it often with friends who have had cancer! At 58, I just started a journey of regular lymph cleanse and I'm so thankful I found such knowledgeable and trustworthy information from you. Thank you for starting your channel.
    You mentioned something about cellulite being an infection of the skin. I've never had cellulite in my entire life UNTIL I had vein surgery six months ago. (They cartarized my vein in both legs.)
    Can you either point me to some of your video's that address this idea of cellulite being a skin infection...or create a video?
    Thanks so much!

    I have swelling in my left ankle and recently had pain around the ankle joints.
    I have kidney related issues and I have found that compression stockings are hard to get off and on. My swelling problems have been going on for at least 2/years. My doctor says there's evidence of arthritis. What else can I do? What remedies are available for me.

    Although many doctors overlook this cause, fungus infection is another culprit for foot swelling. Chronic fungus infection on the feet and toenails may cause lymphangitis leading to lymphedema and swelling. Would appreciate your comments on this.

    My brother is in hospital again now with Edema for the 10 th time . He needs IV diuretics to drain a huge amount of fluid in his legs and stomach area . My brother has the awful condition of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension with right hand heart failure . He has a rare form of this horrific condition and he's 4 years commencing June a 4 year anniversary from the diagnosis . I am terrified of a GP he has . On a recent home call out the GP suggested the Edema was ' maybe ' a purple , broken skin and the largest it's ever been , due to a Chest Infection . One day later a Paramedic did not hear signs of a chest infection ??? . This GP plays Russian Roulette with my brother and knows nothing . I'm constantly instigating things like Oxygen Therapy dry mouth / throat products with no luck . I am concerned about my brother's lack of Observation blood analysis . My brother is on 20 tablets daily and Oxygen Therapy 18/20 hours daily .

I am bearing that pain and living with it. I have seen several doctors in the last 30 years, but nobody can solve this problem. Doctors all waste they simply want appointment for income nothing else.

    Hi. Thanks for the video. I have a question. I'm 54. Both legs are swollen and cold painful from just below my knees to the tip of my toes,so you can imagine it's causing walking a problem. 6 months ago when it started I went to my doctor. She said she'd book an appointment to get the blood pressure tested in my legs. I'm still waiting for the appointment. Since then,I had a month's worth of furosemide. While I was talking them,the swelling went down,and the pain stopped. When I had used them all, after a few days the swelling/pain came back. So I had another months worth off her. Even though they were slightly weeker prescription, they still worked. Now they have been used up,the swelling/pain is back,and she won't give me any more pills. I'm still waiting for the appointment for my leg blood pressure check. She has told me that my heart is good,and that it is my vains causing it. But I can't walk now,and the pain is unbearable,and no pills off my doctor. My question is, what pills are available without prescription? I feel like crying sometimes,I really do. It's unbearable,and the doctor just moves me on,with the excuse that we're waiting for the appointment. Thanks in advance for any help.

      My problem is I'm worried about my heart.
