foods and supplements that reduce edema in the legs

Especially in the summer months, I experience a lot of swelling in my legs. Do you recommend foods or supplements that reduce swelling in natural ways? Also, is there any benefit to diuretic pills? I had used them before, but I stopped because I heard they could harm the kidneys, what do you think? Is there anyone with experience?

Parsley tea, cucumber, and celery are very beneficial. You can also try magnesium supplementation.

Foods rich in potassium (such as avocado and spinach) help with water balance. Keeping salt intake below 3-4 grams daily is also important. Decisions regarding supplements should be made according to individual circumstances. However, in general, the combination of bromelain + boswellic acid is quite effective. I do not recommend the use of diuretics in patients with lymphedema.

I have something similar. It changes from day to day, so I try not to judge the whole process from one day.

I would not explain every symptom only by lipedema. If it is one-sided, suddenly worse, red, or hot, I would take it more seriously.

This part is tiring. Sometimes it feels like I am doing things, but my body does not respond the way I expect.

Nutrition in lipedema should be individualized. Low-carb or ketogenic patterns may help some people, but sustainability, bowel tolerance, sleep, and metabolic status should be considered together. See lipödemde takviyeler.

This made it clearer for me. I think I was trying to make everything perfect and then giving up quickly.
