2. Increase Your Movement
Sitting or standing in one position for too long can cause fluids to pool in your feet. By moving around, you can help promote circulation.
How to Do It: If you find yourself sitting for extended periods, make it a point to get up every hour and walk around for a few minutes. Simple leg exercises and stretches can also help.
3. Massage
A gentle foot massage can help stimulate blood flow and move the fluid out of your feet.
How to Do It: Using firm but gentle pressure, massage your feet with warm oil. Start from your toes and move towards your ankles. Repeat this daily or as needed.
4. Stay Hydrated
Interestingly, keeping hydrated can actually reduce water retention and swelling. Drinking adequate fluids helps your body maintain a proper balance.
How to Do It: Aim to drink at least eight glasses of water a day, more if it’s particularly hot or if you’re physically active.
