Some studies have shown that up to 10% of women have lipoedema. Many don’t know they have the condition, which leaves them confused and wondering why their bodies don’t look like their friends. They might be palmed off by doctors as being obese and told to ‘just’ lose weight.

A condition that affects 1 in 10 women deserves recognition by every doctor and healthcare practitioner. It should be a household name.

We’re in the midst of some high temperatures here in the UK so here are some top tips from Talk Lipoedema HQ on how to stay cool!

💜 Stay hydrated! Keep drinking plenty of water to keep your body hydrated

💜 Wear sunscreen! Sunburn is miserable so plenty of high factor sunscreen will help keep your skin healthy.

💜 Wear compression if you can. Heat can cause swelling, which is hard if you have lipoedema. Compression can help keep swelling down and keep your lymph moving.

💜 Pump your lymphatics! Doing some at home self care can help. Pop onto our website to see a video on how to open your lymph nodes!

💜 Wear cool clothing, including a hat!

💜 Elevate your legs to help reduce swelling.

Enjoy the sunshine but use our tips to keep your body as cool as you can!
