A lymphedema diet is about selecting foods which will not exacerbate swelling. Mostly, that means cutting back on salt because sodium increases fluid retention in the body. Greater fluid retention raises blood pressure, and it can make the swelling symptoms of lymphedema worse. For lymphedema, common foods to avoid include most varieties of condiments, packaged foods, and fast food.
