Swollen feet and ankles what carbohydrates retain body fluids?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Swollen feet: Carbohydrates do not directly cause fluid retention. However, refined carbohydrates do put the body under free radical stress and that can accelerate degeneration in the human body. I strongly advise that you avoid all white flour, white sugar and white rice.
