In the summer, with the arrival of intense heat, a large portion of the population, both female and male, may suffer from swollen and heavy legs.<\/strong> This condition is especially common for those who are very sedentary<\/strong> and carrying a few extra pounds.<\/p>

A “DIY” method to measure water retention is to digitally compress the shin.<\/strong><\/p>

Pressing a finger on the leg of someone who is retaining a lot of fluids will leave a lasting imprint for a short time. The deeper the finger sinks into the leg, and the longer the mark remains, the greater the amount of fluids being retained.<\/p>

Since edema is also a result of an inflammatory process<\/strong>, a personalized diet can be a crucial help.<\/p>

Undergoing a Food Recaller Program <\/a>allows you to assess the level of inflammation <\/strong>and identify which foods, consumed in excess or repeatedly, are causing inflammatory responses.<\/p>
