hey everyone we’re going to talk about

the aid actual causes of edema okay

edema is swelling and the lower

extremities and your ankles and your

feet and you see people all the time

with this and I’m just want to kind of

dig into what’s behind it there’s some

things that are more common but I wanted

to give you all the potential causes one

actually it’s not as common but if

you’re very low in protein let’s say for

example you’re even on keto and you

don’t consume enough protein you could

start to have a problem where your your

ankle starts swelling up yeah so low

protein in the blood when the protein

the blood is called albumin if that’s

low then the water accumulates in around

the cells so you just need to add more

approaching to the diet or improve the

digestion by adding more betaine how to

chloride or outside a vinegar to digest

the protein all right number two low

vitamin b1 and b1 deficiency is called

beriberi and a lot of people haven’t b1

deficiency because they’re consuming too

many carbs or alcohol or tea or

chocolate or various things I did a

whole video on that but if you’re low

and b1 okay even sub clinically and

sometimes it doesn’t really show up in a

blood test because it’s not quite a

major thing but it’s just low then you

can get swelling in the ankles okay in

the feet so it’s real simple

take nutritional yeast and or b1 boom

problem solved all right three low

potassium if you’re not consuming enough

greens then where’s your potassium

coming from you need 4700 milligrams

every single day so you have to figure

out how you’re gonna get that there is

some potassium and meat-like like for

example a chicken breast has like 300

milligrams but again you need 4700 so I

like to get it from vegetables

especially if you’re doing like junk

food fast food you’re gonna get a lot of

sodium and very little potassium now if

your salt sensitive or your you have too

much sodium instead of actually reducing

sodium increase potassium so if you were

to consume very high potassium foods

like believe it or not beet tops have

the highest amount of potassium

pistachios have a lot of potassium

avocados have a lot of potassium

Kayle has a lot of potassium so we we

beef that up no pun intended and then

what happens is your your swelling comes

down because when you increase potassium

you decrease sodium okay and sodium

retains water so that will help and by

the way usually down here diabetes is

another cause if you have diabetes

you’re gonna usually be low on potassium

and b1 and that could be why you’re

retaining fluid so you have want to

address this with health and keto in a

minute fasting but if you’re a diabetic

or have insulin resistance or you’re

pre-diabetic you’re gonna hold fluid

just the nature of glucose you have too

much glucose in the body you’re gonna

basically have like a fluid filled

sponge and you’re gonna hold fluid the

heart if the heart is dysfunctional if

you have heart disease you you’re

usually gonna have swelling on the left

ankle or foot okay so what causes this

many things but diabetes or high insulin

or sugar will do it okay eating junk

foods so you would want to do something

to improve the heart I have a lot of

videos on that your liver if your liver

is dysfunctional you have either a fatty

liver or cirrhosis chances are you’re

gonna have swelling more on the right

ankle and foot okay but that can also

cause a problem too so there’s I have

videos on what to do if you have a liver

problem I would say the best way to know

if you have a liver problem is just look

down right now and if you have a gut

okay if you can see your gut you have a

liver problem because that’s the fatty

liver so you can get an ultrasound it’ll

pick it right up but in order for you to

start getting that visceral fat the

liver usually is filled with fat and

then it spills over into around the

organs and the visceral so you can’t see

it unless you do an ultrasound and

there’s very few symptoms and unless you

it gets to the later stages kidney you

have two kidneys for their problem

you’re gonna have swelling them both

both sides a lot of people have kidney

problems if they’re a diabetic okay

so again that could be the reason why

your you have swollen ankles and feet

okay I mean the real answer to all of

these is to get your eating correct

there’s so many people focusing on the

symptom like edema but they’re not

getting the food corrected and that’s

what I recommend of course you’ve heard

this a million times

healthy keto and in a minute fasting you

knew you knew I was gonna say that right

okay mix edema what is that

it looks like swelling but it’s

puffiness it’s not actually fluid it’s a

waste product it’s a little bit

different but you’ll see these people

with like really big ankles and this is

a a thyroid problem a slow thyroid and

because Authority is so slow it retains

this certain despite product I’m not

going to give you the technical name and

that can make it make you look like you

have edema okay so you’d want to address

hypothyroid issues do a search on that I

have a lot of videos on that okay and

then we have blood sugar issues

diabetics pre-diabetics people with

insulin resistance you’re going to have

fluid because the nature of the

retention of sodium and then comes the

water now if you actually have and these

conditions and you drink a lot of water

what happens is you’re gonna retain more

fluid unless you get rid of the sodium

and or increase the potassium so taking

more potassium or electrolyte that has a

lot of potassium will push this fluid

out but you want to get to the root

cause so I put a link down below for

what I believe to be the best

electrolyte but if you have a demon you

must fix your diet alright thanks for
