hey guys dr. Berg here in this video we’re going  to talk about what is the absolute best diet for  

swollen feet and ankles okay now the first thing  you need to know is if you have this condition you  

have to realize it so it’s a major problem it’s  not a little thing and lot of times people kind  

of brush it off as well use have food retention  go to the doctor get lasix or a diuretic and push  

the fluid out no you need to really realize that  it’s a major problem either with the liver or the  

kidney or the heart and you really need to take a  systemic approach or a whole body approach because  

what’s happening in your ankles is happening in  other places too and there’s several mechanisms  

like for example you can have an imbalance with  electrolytes okay but that’s more unlikely because  

when you have like either pitting edema you’re  pressing in there it’s usually the organ that  

is failing so it’s usually more of a low protein  in the blood now it’s not just a matter of eating  

more protein to get more protein or blood so you  can push the fluid out that’s not going to work  

because really the liver and the kidney are not  allowing the production of the right types of  

protein like your liver takes from the blood amino  acids and makes a certain protein called albumin  

which goes in the blood and then it actually helps  in the transmission of fluid to the blood and when  

you don’t when this conversion doesn’t happen  because the liver is damaged then you get all  

this this low protein albumin in the blood and  then the fluid kind of goes out of the blood  

alright so the protein keeps the fluid in the  blood you know correctly so here’s what you have  

to do as a foundation you need to get the diet  corrected and it starts with vegetables that is  

the first thing you need to start including if  you’re doing like a cup of vegetables that are  

steamed or cooked you’re never going to get well  you’re going to have to do large quantities of  

raw salads and vegetables we’re not talking about  romaine or sorry iceberg lettuce I’m talking about  

spinach kale high-quality vegetables because this  has a lot of great things enzymes and minerals to  

help push the fluid out and also make you  feel better but also people do like apple  

cider vinegar which is a great thing sometimes  they’ll do certain fruit juices like watermelon  

juice or melon juice to push the fluid out that  will work but it’s usually temporary so you just  

have to start including vegetables in the diet  for the potassium the enzymes and also just to  

heal the organs quality protein you don’t want  to do if you have swelling in ankles don’t be  

doing like protein powders you want to do like  high quality from the health food store grass  

fed either beef or fish or seafood you want  to do a high quality protein okay not a fast  

food you know burger that’s not going to work  you’re going to have to get the sugar out for  

sure that’s a given I’m not even saying that  because I’m assuming you already know that but  

you cannot have sugar around this at all because  sugars is going to cause swelling just on it and  

itself now the other thing that’s really powerful  is an enzyme called Serra pep taste okay you’ve  

never heard about this you need to know about this  Serra pepper taste basically will dissolve scar  

tissue it gets rid of fibrous unwanted tissue  it dissolves clots in the arteries and improve  

circulation it helps inflammation it also will  help other cirrhosis on the liver see what happens  

with the liver is it has an inflammation State and  in a develop scar tissue and most people with this  

a demon in the feet have a bit of cirrhosis at  scar tissue in the liver this enzyme will help  

to dissolve that so this enzyme comes from a  silkworm okay but I think they can now make it  

they can ferment it and make it in a certain way I  don’t know the whole mechanics but this is one of  

the best solutions for fluid because it opens  up your circulation it helps repair the liver  

especially the scar tissue and also the kidney  too so it just gets the circulation going for  

you now can actually have a better protein and  to happen this is a very powerful enzyme for  

proteins okay but it won’t harm your own body’s  proteins it only seems to go after the proteins  

that shouldn’t be there so that’s good for so  many things so anyway that’s what I’m going to  

recommend if you have this and I would get it’s  a little pricey to get something but I would get  

something like get 120 international 120 thousand  international units or maybe even you can find at  

250 thousand I use of this enzyme and take  it several times a day on an empty stomach  

if you take it with food it won’t work okay so  it goes into the blood and starts cleaning and  

that’s a real good way to correct a liver but  the reason I talked about this last is that I  

want you to correct the diet first so you’re not  just dependent on some pill magical pill that’s  

going to heal everything you have to fix it up  but this is just going to enhance everything  

and really get you in good shape alright  thanks for watching put your comments below
