What precautions you would suggest yo your elders about edema?

To help manage edema, I would suggest that elders elevate their legs regularly to reduce swelling and promote circulation. It's important for them to limit salt intake, as sodium can exacerbate fluid retention. Staying hydrated is also crucial, so encourage them to drink plenty of water. Finally, regular gentle exercise, as approved by their healthcare provider, can help improve circulation and reduce swelling.
