How To Reduce Fat In Ankles And Legs?
I would call my cousin, a woman age 61, morbidly obese. Her legs and ankles are huge and she uses a walker. It is very difficult for her to walk on stairs with only two steps and to get in and out of her own car. I m primarily interested in alternative treatments––don t like drugs or surgery.

Hello. I am Dr. Praveen and I will be answering your question today.
Alright. Drugs and exercise have proven benefits but if you choose not to proceed so, that is alright. You could try ayurveda. They go for a month long slimming program that is done in a very healthy way. Moreover, various skin treatments are given so that you remain healthy after that. Please ask her to try a slighly negative calorie diet with abt 20 mt walk daily. In the loong run that is obviously the best way to loose it.
Wishing her good health. Please feel free to drop in any more queries if need be.
Warm regards,
Dr Praveen Jeyapathy
