  1. Mine swell every time I eat chips. I think I know the cure for that, but really love potato chips, so once in a while….
    The usual cause is salt, but should always be checked out by a doctor, and the legs and feet elevated as much as possible. And this is a case of “do as I say, not as I do” for me, because I seldom take the time to elevate anything except my activities when my energy level is up enough to move.
