Precaution for edema can be taken as follows:

• We should suggest the elders to not sit in the same position for a long time.
• A person who is at the risk of edema should also move his legs frequently.
• Taking  a low salt diet is also another precautionary measure that needs to be taken during edema.
• We should also advice the elders to exercise regularly so that focus can be developed.
