10 Causes of Swollen Feet
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Cause #5: Hot Climate
In regions with hot weather, your feet are more likely to be swollen as the veins in your feet expand. This is a natural part of your body's cooling process. However, in individuals who have issues with their circulation, their veins are less efficient and struggle in bringing blood back to the heart causing fluid to collect in the feet and ankles.
To reduce swelling, soak your feet in cool water, stay hydrated, elevate your feet, do some simple leg exercises, and wear footwear that is breathable and allows your feet to move freely.
