The number one trick is movement. Not a sweaty, brutal workout—I’m talking about wiggling your toes, doing ankle circles, or taking a silly five-minute dance break. Anything that pumps your calf muscles helps “squeeze” fluid back up.
Try this right now: lie on your back and put your legs up against a wall for five minutes. It’s called “legs up the wall,” and it feels like a lazy yoga nap. Instant relief, zero effort.
Cankles
Water is your best friend here, too. Drink more of it—I know, ironic, right? But when you’re dehydrated, your body clings to every drop of fluid, making cankles puffier. Water flushes the system.
