Dangers of sitting: Sitting too much can lead to problems. No matter diet, sitting for long periods of time can lead to water retention in your legs. Try getting up from your chair every 20-30 mins and move around.

Many possibilities: Some causes of swelling can include systemic problems such as hypertension, and problems with the kidneys and localized issues such as arthritis, infection, lymphatic obstruction, blood clots, varicose veins, trauma (fracture, sprain, tendonitis) and side effects to medication. Have it evaluated by a professional and get the appropriate treatment.
