Restriction of Diet: The first change that you should make to your daily
diet is reduction in salt intake, and cutting down the quantity of
carbohydrates. This is because the carbohydrates enhance water retention in body
resulting severe swelling of edema. The more leafy and fibrous _vegetables_
(http://www.organicfacts.net/health-benefits/vegetable/benefits-of-vegetables.ht
ml) and _fruits_
(http://www.organicfacts.net/health-benefits/fruit/benefits-of-fruits.html) you eat, the lower will be the chance of edema. Include
protein, eat eggs, broiled white fish, and broiled skinless chicken or
turkey. Consume small amounts of buttermilk, cottage cheese, kefir, and
low-fat yogurt. Have a diet that is high in fiber.

Subject: Edema help please
Hello,
I fell and twisted my foot badly. It's very painful and swollen. I have an
edema. I have been rested and lifted my feet, put cold in the beginning
and heat later. I'm better, but the improvement is too slow. I can scarcely
walk. I'm a vegetarian and My diet is mostly fruits and vegetables.
Does anyone have any recommendations, suggestions, please?
