Leg Swelling & Edema in Aging: What to Know & What to Do

Dr. Chad Walding, DPT

Do any of these concerns sound familiar?

• Taking off your socks and seeing that red ring around the ankles

• Discoloration in the lower legs

• Swelling in the feet, hands, wrists, and knees that just won’t go away

• Pain in the hands and wrists that prevents you from doing once-routine things

• Asking your doctor about it… and finding out it’s a warning sign for heart issues

Surprisingly, most of the time these issues aren’t just “part of getting old” — they’re actually avoidable.

I know, I know — to someone who’s lived with these problems for years, it sounds like wishful thinking. After all, you don’t see many young people with swollen feet or unbearable pain in their hands.

And it can feel downright insulting to be told that this daily agony is “avoidable.”

I stumbled across this after trying and trying to help my patients find a way out of their pain.

I've seen people forced into early retirement because their hands just couldn't operate the machinery or keyboard, without bringing on debilitating pain…

I’ve seen them try everything to make it go away…

Including “solutions” that bring their own problems, like:

• Niacin: a form of vitamin B3 that can make the skin feel like it’s burning 
• Anti-inflammatories: believe it or not, these can actually make the swelling worse by upsetting the body’s natural processes 
• Nattokinase: a hard-to-find enzyme, made from soybeans, that can make it harder to modulate blood pressure 
• And of course, fish oil: Believe it or not, many doctors prescribe fish oil for swelling in the extremities — because Omega-3 fatty acids can help the body attain healthy levels of inflammation. But I’ve seen hundreds of people who take it with no improvements at all… and I’ll explain why in a second.

The pain, discomfort, and loss of independence is challenging enough...and trying every “solution” on the shelf can seem pretty daunting.

But I’ve also seen hundreds of people who discovered that this painful swelling isn’t their destiny — it can be addressed with a unique form of Omega-3.

I’ll show you why it worked for them — and how it might help others regain their independence and functionality… even if it already feels too late.

Swollen ankles GONE in days!

“I started using this about a month ago. For over a year I had extremely swollen feet and legs. My left was the worst. After about four days I noticed my left foot looked normal again. Within the next few days my swelling in both was gone. This stuff is nothing short of a miracle.”

Deborah Septien ★★★★★

You’ve probably heard that eating fish, or taking fish oil, is an excellent way to soothe inflammation.

That’s because fish are loaded with Omega-3 fatty acids, and a proper Omega balance (mainly, 3 and 6) is essential to proper function of the entire body…

Especially when it comes to veins and arteries. When they’re not functioning properly, blood can pool in the wrists, ankles, hands and feet… leading to painful edema and raising the risk of serious heart and circulation issues.

But I bet you’ve heard that many fish aren’t a healthy choice…

Like swordfish, bluefin tuna, or other large fish… because they contain higher levels of mercury.

You probably know this, but it’s worth remembering: mercury does not break down. It leaks from garbage that’s been dumped in the ocean or rivers, or from trash that’s burned.

This is just why you should be extremely careful when looking for a “pure” source of Omega-3s.

And that’s just one example of the “purity problem” when it comes to fish oils. In many cases, what you see on the bottle isn’t what you’re getting in the pill.

An Italian Study found that most fish oil supplements don’t have ingredients that match their label… and some are even spiked with inflammatory soybean oil.

A study in the Journal of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners found huge inconsistencies in the quality of OTC fish oil sold right here in the USA. 8

So if you want to support your circulatory, brain, or joint health with Omega-3s… then you need to consume the purest, most transparent source.

Whether you’re looking for pure fish oil, or healthy dinner options at the grocery store…

Keep these 2 rules in mind to reduce the risk of toxins that negate the healthy effect of the supplement or food you’re shopping for.

You might remember this one from high school biology: it’s called the principle of bioaccumulation.

Bioaccumulation is when a toxin that’s ambient in the environment (like mercury) slowly builds up over time in animals or fish. 9

The longer-lived the organism, the more time the toxin has to build up. And the more toxic its environment, the more toxins it will absorb.

This is why you should insist on meat that’s pasture-raised and fish that come from clean waters. I’ll reveal where those waters are in just a moment, but I promised you 2 rules for safe shopping.

This is based on a similar, but different scientific principle: biomagnification.

This happens when small organisms, like plants or insects, accumulate toxins in manageable quantities — maybe there’s a little bit of pesticide in the air, and it doesn’t really harm the plants.

But as larger organisms eat the small ones, and even larger ones eat those, the toxin “magnifies” as you move up the food chain.

This is why you’re often warned away from big fish, like swordfish or bluefin tuna. It’s not necessarily because their environment is so polluted…

It’s because they eat many times their body weight in slightly-toxic food, and they have no way to get rid of it. If you’re taking fish oil that’s sourced from large fish… you’re eating everything those fish ate.

So you should insist that your Omega-3s come from clean water and small fish.

And I’ve got some great news about that…

Here’s a fun fact to annoy your family at the dinner table: fish don’t create their own omega-3s.

Just like us, they need to get it from their food.

Remember rule #2… how smaller fish are healthier fish? Well, many fish get their omega-3s from “fish” that are less than 2 inches long… and actually aren’t fish at all.

“Krill” is the Norwegian word for “whale food.” They’re tiny crustaceans that are packed with omega-3s… and a few other things that make omega-3s even more powerful. I’ll reveal those in just a moment.

Not only are these small, short-lived creatures lower in toxins, they’re even more effective than regular fish oil.

How much better is Krill Oil than regular fish oil? In one study, people who took Krill oil…

• Slashed triglycerides by 19.48%...
• Cut down LDL cholesterol (the bad kind) in patients by 36%...
• And pumped up HDL cholesterol (the GOOD kind) by 50.25%!

By contrast, fish oil only showed a 4% improvement. So the benefits are obvious, especially when you get it from the purest source!

Hundreds of studies have unearthed the benefits of daily krill oil supplementation — including support for joint pain, vision, immunity, and more. Studies with results like:

• A 35% reduction in joint pain, allowing people to return to work and hobbies they once missed out on…
• 15.3% more vision and blood flow to the eye, which helps fight age-related vision decline…
• About 17% higher white blood cell activity, extremely important as we head into fall and winter.

Many of these studies showed a significant improvement over fish oil.

I can hear you asking… How can that be? Why is it so much better?

Well, not every type of omega-3 is the same.

• Fish oil contains omega-3s in triglyceride form. Your body has to put in the work to break them down and use them… so you lose a lot in the process, and don’t absorb it into your body as easily.
• Krill oil, on the other hand, contains phospholipid omega-3s. To see why that’s a big deal, take a look at this graphic:

• Your cell membrane is made from phospholipids. So when you’ve taken krill oil and it’s circulating through your body, your cells can more easily recognize and absorb it.

Triglyceride omega-3s, derived from fish oil, aren’t bad for you… but it’s like putting regular gasoline into a car that needs premium. It’ll run, but at the cost of efficiency. Krill oil is the most efficient way to get all the health benefits of omega-3s.

On top of all that, krill are a key source of astaxanthin, one of the most powerful antioxidants in nature. It’s…

• 550X stronger than Vitamin E…
• 800X more powerful than CoQ10…
• and 6000X more potent than Vitamin C

It’s mostly found in algae, yeast, salmon, trout, krill, shrimp and crayfish… and given the heavy-metal risk of larger fish, krill is the easiest and safest way to get it.

Leg pain, GONE.

"I have seen a big difference since taking Krill oil. The pain in one leg, that used to throb, is no longer there. And the ankle swelling is reduced greatly… some days not at all.”

Anita Alter ★★★★★

Krill live in every ocean on Earth — but today, krill fishing is limited due to environmental and health concerns.

Many krill are caught in waters that have a lot of issues with pollution, especially in recent years.

But there’s one place on Earth that has some of the most pristine waters… and is loaded with a sustainable supply of krill…

The Antarctic Ocean. Not only are Antarctic waters cleaner than any other on Earth, they’re also colder. So they’re an ideal environment for cold-loving krill.

If you’re looking at a bottle of Krill Oil that doesn’t say “Antarctic Krill,” DO NOT assume it was fished in those waters.

That’s because there’s a hard quota on how much krill can be fished every year, and it hasn’t budged since the 90s.

In fact, it’s only getting harder to find Antarctic krill. Since 2018, more and more water has been closed off to form wildlife sanctuaries. 

So Antarctic Krill Oil is hard to find at a good price… and we weren’t satisfied with that.

I founded NativePath — a nutrition company — in 2015. Since then, we’ve grown a community of over 1,000,000 people… and I’ve seen hundreds of thousands of people get transformational results with Antarctic Krill Oil.

However, there were still some people who had a hard time finding a supplement that was worth their hard-earned money…

As I said, great krill oil needs to come from the Antarctic Ocean. And it should also be certified for purity, in a form you don’t mind taking every day..

We found a reputable supplier who could guarantee all their krill came from the Antarctic fishery.

But we didn’t stop there. We kept tweaking the formula to avoid the fishy aftertaste and maximally absorb into your body.

The result: 100% Antarctic Krill Oil, with a highly-absorbable phospholipid formula… and it’s chock-full of astaxanthin, one of nature’s most powerful antioxidants.

Just take 1 pill a day to support healthy inflammation levels, brain health, and more… and you won’t have to worry about the fishy aftertaste.

To date, we have over 1000 5-star reviews, and our customers cannot believe how much this one simple change is improving their health.

My labs are perfect! My Doctor is completely baffled. I feel great! I need to reorder more krill. Thank you! Thank you! THANK YOU!!!!!!

Antarctic Krill Oil is making a very big difference in my life. I hardly have any arthritis pain now. I still get stiff occasionally, but that is only because I sit too long and forget to move! I was able to discard another product I had been using for my knee pain, as this works much better! Thank you so much for a terrific product -- one that is even affordable!

I've been taking it for 2 weeks and l seem to be having some good changes. Less knee pain, less ankle swelling. So l cut back on my ibuprofen!

My feet are normal now. No more inflammation!

“My feet were swollen so big I had to get a size bigger shoe. I started using Krill oil and my feet went down to normal. Now the shoes I bought are way too big. The krill oil got rid of all the inflammation. I had ankle surgery and the inflammation was so bad for months. Then I saw this article about Krill oil getting rid of inflammation. I tell you it really works!! Krill Oil is so much better than fish oil. It works so fast. Krill Oil is so good for your heart also. Try it.”

I can feel my toes again

“My feet are finally healing and the pins and needles are leaving my toes. I can feel my toes for the first time in 4 years, my swollen feet are gone, and the pain has eased.”

The only thing that’s ever worked

“It brought my triglycerides down to 303...which is a miracle. They have run in the thousands for many years. Cant take statins and the krill oil is the only thing that has ever worked. So pleased with this product.”

★★★★★

Barbara Burger on 10/03/2022

No more pain in my neck, elbows, or wrists

“You folks have no idea how much this product has changed my life! I have suffered from osteoarthritis for years! 

I have no more pain in my neck, elbows, or wrists.

Yesterday I had a cooling radio frequency procedure on my left knee. Similar to an ablation. Today I had no pain, no swelling, and was able to walk pain free! I can't wait for the right knee to be done.

I am sure the krill oil had much to do with it! I put in an order today although I do have 4 backup bottles! Recently I have taken one in the morning to start my day and at 76 years old I can go all day without a break to rest! Haven't felt like this in several years!”

★★★★★

Julie Hudson on 08/20/2022

Amazing results in 1 week

“I have swollen feet and read your article so I started the krill oil and could not believe the difference in a one week period. My foot now looks so much better and I can finally walk on it without pain. Thank you so much.”

Just imagine your physician grinning over your next blood panel results...

Never again having to worry about the horrific risks associated with high cholesterol, triglycerides or blood pressure issues… 

What's more: enjoying joints so strong and pain-free, even your grandkids can’t keep up with you. 

I'm even willing to bet you'll get deeper sleep because you won't toss and turn in pain as much…

And with each passing day you take krill oil, the swelling and inflammation in your feet, ankles, legs and hands suddenly starts to disappear… 

You’ll be able to get your wedding ring on and off with ease… And your shoes will fit more loosely… 

And your body will finally start to feel normal again…

That's just how effective NativePath Antarctic Krill Oil is.

Don't let this opportunity pass you by.

If any of this sounds like the future you want to wake up to, the time to act is now.

Because you simply can't get this level of purity and potency anywhere else.

Along with how much and how often do you need to take it for best results?

At NativePath, our formula uses wild-caught krill from the pristine waters of the Antarctic ocean for the most potent and pure benefits and is recognised as the highest quality omega-3 source in the world because of this.

Even better, NativePath Antarctic Krill Oil also contains 95mg of phospholipids for enhanced absorption along with 200mcg of Astaxanthin for added antioxidant benefits to further support your joints, heart, circulation, brain and so much more. 

So, not only are you getting the highest-grade source of omega-3s, but you’re also getting the total-body benefits of enhanced absorption plus powerful antioxidants with every dose.

The meticulous process of sourcing wild-caught krill all the way from the Antarctic ocean adds weeks (sometimes months) onto our manufacturing operations.

But, that’s not the only thing affecting the supply chain… Labor shortages and equipment availability are also causing a ripple effect of global bottlenecks for wild-caught krill. 

Which means it can take a very long time to produce even a single bottle of NativePath Antarctic Krill Oil…

And with the demand for pure wild-caught krill increasing every day, many experts warn that shortages may come as a consequence. 

On top of that...

I ordered 6 more bottles

Leslie Hopkins on 05/21/2022

My blood pressure has greatly improved since starting on the Antarctic Krill Oil. It is a wonderful product. I don’t burp it up, which I have with other krill products in the past. There isn’t a foul odor when you open the bottle which I was worried about from past experiences with other products I won’t name. This is a very high-quality product and does what it promises!

The increased order volume has put an even BIGGER strain on our production.

Especially since our wild-caught krill formula can take months to produce.

As a result, NativePath Antarctic Krill Oil keeps selling out…

And, to make matters worse… Inflation has caused massive spikes in freight costs, fuel, and in shipping…

Just so you can get it at the absolute best rate and without paying anything extra for it during these unprecedented economic times.

Now, since we’re a small business, these bottles are taking up a lot of space in our warehouse…

So, we decided to offer an exclusive “Inflation Promotion” discount…

Where you can stock up on NativePath Antarctic Krill for as low as $23/bottle.

That’s a whopping 58% OFF!

This is incredible news since myself along with many experts believe wild-caught krill oil to be the most superior source of omega-3s to stock up on, especially while our health is at top of mind these days.

Based on research, using anywhere between 500mg-1000mg of krill oil daily can provide the total-body support many individuals seek. 

Some studies show that many benefits, such as improvements in inflammation and swelling, may be experienced within the first few days. 

But for older individuals, the effects of years and years of free radical buildup may put them at a critical disadvantage. 

Thus, it’s recommended for adults to use krill oil for at least 60 days (or more) in order to achieve maximum benefits.

Many of my patients find the most success with long-term daily use of krill oil daily to help ensure that one’s most important health markers are maintained for good.

So it makes sense why so many NativePath Antarctic Krill Oil users order large quantities at a time... 

The benefits of krill oil are only truly realized when it’s taken day-after-day and month-after-month.

Simply put, krill oil is no “miracle supplement”...

• Take it on a consistent daily basis. Simply take one soft gel up to 2x every day.
• Take the right amount for the results you want. By taking two soft gels per day (one in the morning & one in the evening), you are consuming 1000 mg, which ensures your body will absorb the most effective amount of omega-3s and astaxanthin so that maximum results can be achieved.
• Take it for the proper amount of time. Clinical studies show that the longer you use Antarctic Krill Oil, the greater (and longer-lasting) the benefits will be

In other words, taking one soft gel here and there isn’t going to cut it.

Consistency is key.

Which is why I recommend my clients to:

Start with at least 3 bottles of NativePath Antarctic Krill Oil at a time.

And 6 bottles if they want to be completely safe.

Then take it for a period of at least 90 days.

And there’s never been a better time to secure your supply of our best-selling Antarctic Krill Oil than now…

Because so many studies show that using more Krill Oil for longer durations yields the greatest results…

We wanted as many people as possible to have access to this powerful supplement.

That’s why my NativePath team and I went to great lengths to secure a surplus of our wild-caught formula to offer our deepest discount offer yet.

Right now when you stock up on 6 bottles of NativePath Antarctic Krill Oil…

YOU WILL SAVE $204!

58%

OFF

Listen: you know I don't believe you should spend an arm and leg for good health.

Especially when you calculate the money wasted on "grow younger vitamins", worthless fish oil, and temporary relief you get with Tylenol and Aleve...

Plus the time, energy, and resources spent googling tricks to restore the optimal blood pressure and heart health...

... quick thinking, and vivid memory you once enjoyed decades ago...

... the pain-free movement seemingly stripped away from you...

And it'd easily add up into the thousands, if not MORE.

But you won't be paying that today.

In fact...

I've decided to slash the price in half on this page only because you've proven to me that you care about your health.

Don't you think it's time you got rewarded for that?

This is why we want you to be able to secure a 6-bottle supply of NativePath Krill Oil for ONLY $23.00/bottle.

That's why you can take a deep breath of relief knowing our brand-new Antarctic Krill Oil is produced right here, in the United States...

Under the most stringent levels of scrutiny, potency, and safety...

With a naked label revealing everything for you.

I refuse to keep secrets from you.

Pretty incredible, right?

EXCITED for what the day throws your way.

More importantly...

Finally enjoying quality time with loved ones without your heart, memory, and joint problems getting in the way...

I'm talking about enjoying spontaneous beach trips...

Peaceful walks in nature...

Telling stories and laughing the night away...

Even dancing for hours on end at family weddings...

All of this - and MORE - is waiting for you when you grab your bottle today at 58% OFF.

The one catch?

At this affordable of a price, it won’t be long before our inventory starts selling out fast… 

So if you're reading this, the good news is we still have more in stock...

But NOW is the time to take action.

Because the truth is, as a Doctor of Physical Therapy, there's nothing more painful than the look of disappointment and regret in patients who've missed the boat...

Who've told themselves they'll do everything in their power to stay healthy...

To give their body, mind, and soul everything it needs...

But when push comes to shove...

They vanish.

I realize this is a bit of tough love, but the way I see it, it's necessary.

That's why I made our NativePath Antarctic Krill Oil to fix that.

To make it as easy as possible for you to enjoy the life you've always wanted for yourself (without burning a hole in your wallet).

All that's left is for you to get on the Path.
