| Publisher Description: Good nutrition is important for overall health, weight management, and in the prevention of chronic diseases. Nutrition is also equally important for people who suffer from lymphedema, the primary symptoms include swelling, tenderness, excessive dryness and staining of the skin, all of which can be reduced through proper nutrition and exercise. Although lymphedema affects as many as 250 million people around the world, solutions to the condition's symptoms are not commonly discussed. While the pain and swelling that come with lymphedema may seem permanent, there are many methods for minimizing lymphedema symptoms. Specifically, eating the right foods and dieting can greatly reduce the effects of lymphedema. Adhering to a healthy diet can help alleviate lymphedema symptoms because an increased amount of fat makes it more difficult for the lymphatic system to drain and pass fluid properly. There is no cure for lymphedema, so diet is an important part of managing it. |
