15Keep a Healthy Weight
Being obese or overweight would increase the risk of suffering from lymphedema. This is mainly because the extra weight would put additional pressure on some areas on your legs, which leads to swelling and interruption of your lymphatic fluid drainage. That’s why it is important to maintain a healthy weight by combining discipline, exercises, and diet. If necessary, just ask your doctor or dietician to make a detailed plan to achieve the ideal body weight. [15]
