·         Lymphedema is swelling, often in only one arm or leg, that occurs when fluid cannot circulate properly and builds up in the tissues instead of being flushed out of the body. It is a common side effect of cancer or its treatment.

·         Research shows that there is no one specific food or diet to help reduce swelling from lymphedema.

·         Along with exercising regularly, self massage and compression garments, it is important to have a balanced diet and make healthy food choices to maintain the body’s overall fluid balance and weight.

·         Aim to make half of your plate non-starchy vegetables, a quarter plate protein and the other quarter quality carbohydrates from whole grains or legumes.
