It means that the body is retaining water and gravity is pulling it down to the feet and legs. Why is the body retaining water. You will need a doctor to tell you that. Probably some heart problems--which you may already know about. When you sit--you need to elevate you feet. It is best above heart level--but that isn't always possible--so just elevate as much as possible. It is even better to lie down--at least your feet are level with the heart.

People have swellings on their legs and feet usually because of water retention.
Water retention could be due to:
- too much salt intake
- drinking too little water
- weak kidneys
- other health problems affecting function of the kidneys
a best way to get rid of tat is via a detox.
If you do a detox, you will be able to:
- regain balance in your body and stop water retention
- gain better health and
- better vitality and
- even more radiant skin and
- the loss of some excess pounds as well,
All you need to do is three things.
Number one, follow the detox programme which requires you to change your diet a little bit. Eg, take more vege and less meat and seafoods.
Number two, use 1 minute a day to take some natural health foods consumable even by babies and pregnant women that will enhance the speed and the effect of the detox.
Number three, drink lots of water to flush the toxins out and help your body start to accept water.
And that's it.
The rest is up to you.
So what do you think? ;)

It could be caused by lack of circulation to these areas and easily cleared up by walking everyday. Some medications and other physical conditions (such as pregnancy or obesity) may cause it, too.
