This week Lou asks:

”I’ve been puffy for most of my adult life. How can I change that?”

What do you mean by “puffy”?

Swelling might be caused by:

• fluid retention
• lymphodema
• an injury
• arthritis
• allergies
• high blood pressure
• prescribed medication (e.g. the pill, cortisone)
• a sign a major organ such as the kidneys, lungs or heart are struggling

If you have any persistent swelling or puffiness – see your GP.
