Was “I’m a little puffy today” one of the things you said most often this summer? As people spend more time at home and less time outdoors, many have become concerned about swelling. With temperatures set to fall, now is a good time to pay more attention to it. Swelling occurs when excess fluid builds up in the body. If it persists, it may be uncomfortable and can sometimes signal an underlying health issue. Gentle massage can be a pleasant way to ease a feeling of puffiness and help you feel more relaxed. If you tend to feel puffy, you may find it helpful to massage your body regularly. You cannot spend the whole day doing so, but the time just after a shower is an easy moment to fit it into your routine. Even five minutes of gentle massage may leave you feeling lighter and more comfortable. (Hyangjang, 623)
