| 0:21.6 | Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminute Fasting Podcast, where Dr. Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight. Hey guys, Dr. Berg here. In this video, we're going to talk about what is the |
| 0:47.7 | absolute best diet for swollen feet and ankles. Okay. Now, the first thing you need to know |
| 0:53.1 | is if you have this condition, you have to realize |
| 0:56.2 | it's a major problem. It's not a little thing. And a lot of times people kind of brush it off as, |
| 1:01.1 | oh, you just have fluid retention, go to the doctor, get LASICs or a diuretic, and push the fluid out. |
| 1:06.8 | Now, you need to really realize that it's a major, either with the liver or the kidney or the heart. |
| 1:13.9 | And you really need to take a systemic approach or a whole body approach because what's happening in your |
| 1:19.8 | ankles is happening in other places too. And there's several mechanisms. Like, for example, |
| 1:27.4 | you can have an imbalance with electrolytes, |
| 1:30.1 | okay? But that's more unlikely because when you have like either pitting edema, you're pressing in there, |
| 1:36.7 | it's usually the organ that is failing. So it's usually more of a low protein in the blood. |
| 1:43.1 | Now, it's not just a matter of eating more protein |
| 1:45.6 | to get more protein in your blood so you can push the fluid out. That's not going to work because really |
| 1:50.9 | the liver and the kidney are not allowing the production of the right types of protein. Like your |
| 1:58.2 | liver takes from the blood amino acids and makes a certain protein called |
| 2:02.6 | albumin, which goes in the blood, and then it actually helps in the transmission of fluid to the |
| 2:09.3 | blood. And when you don't, when this conversion doesn't happen because the liver is damaged, |
| 2:15.6 | then you get all this, this low protein albumin in the blood, |
| 2:19.3 | and then the fluid kind of goes out of the blood. So the protein keeps the fluid in the blood |
