How to Treat Edema through Diet

A simple way to treat Edema is through diet. Below are some diet changes that can help to treat, or possibly cure, Edema.

Instructions

    1

    Lower your intake of sodium. Ideally you should have less than 2,100 mg of sodium each day. High salt intake tends to worsen Edema in patients.

    2

    Drink more water. Drinking water will help to cleanse the system and flush out fluid retention. Try to drink at least 10 glasses of water throughout the day.

    3

    Avoid processed foods, especially junk food. Try to add more fresh foods to your diet, especially fruits and vegetables. Stay away from soda and caffeinated beverages and instead opt for fresh fruit juices and water.

    4

    If you suffer from a more severe case of Edema or have struggled with Edema for years, you may want to consider doing a juice fast. A juice fast for 7 or 14 days can make a drastic difference for most patients with Edema.
