Tips for reducing leg and/or body swelling!

Do You Suffer From Leg and/or Body Swelling?
Want to get rid of that all over puffiness? 

If you suffer from body and leg swelling that leaves you frustrated and in pain then please try these tips....



In Picture: 
1. Water, Water, Water! You need water to flush out the toxins in your body and water is the best way.
2. Tea! Tea is wonderful for your entire body and it helps in reducing the fluid tremendously (does for me at least). There are tons of different flavors so you can look around and see which one you like best. But note: Don't add sugar to your tea. I promise that if you drink it all the time you will come to love the bitter taste. It's worth it! You can also enjoy softer and healthier skin with a glass of tea a day.   
3. 100% Citrus Juice! Squeeze a grapefruit or orange into a glass and sip slowly. It's delicious and helps purify all the yucky stress in your body. You can also buy a bottle of orange juice if you don't feel like squeezing an actual orange but check the label and make sure it is 100% because it can't be from concentrate. 

Other:
4. Low sodium. Cut back on the salt. 
5. Move your legs! Ride a bike or walk for a few extra minutes a day to get the fluid in your legs/body moving.   
6. 100% Cranberry Juice! Make sure it is 100% and NOT from concentrate. This is very important. 
7. A healthy diet! You choose the diet that works best for you. The low carbohydrate diet is my miracle diet.

These are things I do all the time when I'm suffering from the extra fluid that's making my clothes a little bit tighter. 
Some days when I have my extra glass of water and tea and juice I see results within an hour but sometimes I don't see results until the next day or day after. 
Everyone is different so I don't know how well this will work for you. Try it and find out! I hope it works wonders for you so you don't have to suffer as much.

Good luck!
