Now you know the causes of edema and some ways of treating it, but you can also take what you know and apply it to prevent the problem from worsening or even occurring in the first place. Here’s a complete list of tips:
Watch your salt intake
If you have to be on your feet all day, try to move around rather than standing in one place
Stay hydrated
Wear compression garments like socks, leggings or special compression scrubs
Consider alternatives (after consulting with your doctor, of course) to any medications that could be causing your feet to swell
