Salt? diagnosis?: First avoid added salt, which our caveman kidneys were not designed to handle. Next, if you have new leg swelling, you might have an undiagnosed condition ranging from simple varicose veins to a more complex heart, liver or kidney problem. Better to get evaluated and diagnosed correctly so you will know what to do.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

2 different question: Reducing fat and water retention are 2 separate issues.  To lower fat:  low calorie diet with lots of fruit/vegetable/fiber, exercise, and water intake.  

To lower fluid retention: salt restriction, exercise, compression stockings, maybe medications.

Disorders such as hypothyroidism, diabetes or sleep apnea may contribute to both problems.  They should be treated as appropriate.
