legs, also known as edema, happens when excess fluid builds up in tissues, often due to gravity pulling it downward. This can stem from prolonged sitting or standing, high sodium intake, or underlying factors like circulation changes common with age.
Certain nutrients play roles in fluid regulation, inflammation, and vessel health. Studies, including those referenced by Healthline and Cleveland Clinic, suggest deficiencies in specific vitamins and minerals may contribute to swelling in feet and legs. The good news? Dietary tweaks can help.
