Why It Helps: Vitamin B6 is essential for balancing fluid levels in the body and reducing water retention, which can contribute to swelling in the legs and feet. It acts as a natural diuretic, helping to flush excess fluid from the tissues and relieve edema.
Sources: Bananas, chickpeas, potatoes, salmon, poultry, and fortified cereals.
Benefit: Reduces water retention and fluid buildup, helping to minimize swelling.
2. Vitamin C
Why It Helps: Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that helps reduce inflammation and supports healthy blood vessels. It promotes collagen production, which strengthens blood vessels and improves circulation, potentially preventing swelling caused by poor circulation or inflammation.
Sources: Citrus fruits (oranges, lemons), strawberries, bell peppers, broccoli, and spinach.
Benefit: Reduces inflammation and strengthens blood vessels, improving circulation and preventing swelling.
