The past 3 or 4 years my feet and ankles got increasingly worse with swelling. Got to where they would not go down at all. Used the socks and leg wraps that did not do much at all.

I also sit a lot which cuts off capillary flow. Try to be more active which is hard to do with a bad hip, back and arthritis. Have been busy the last couple months working 2,3 or 4 hours a day remodeling the living room.  Give a rundown on what I have been doing in the living room on another blog post. The job drags out when needing a cane and crutch to get around. That activity got me off my ass and moving around. Still working on it.

I was to my primary care doctor around March or April and I asked her what was causing the swelling. She said the capillaries decrease in size preventing full flow of fluid. I got home and was thinking about it and decide to look up what would open up the capillaries. I found different types of foods, spices and teas that clean out capillaries.

Added those items to my diet on a daily basis intake. Since starting on those foods and spices my feet and ankles have lost about 70% of their fluid.

Green tea, hot pepper sauce, garlic powder, beets, walnuts, celery among other items.

You can find listings on the Internet that clean out capillaries.
