Suggest Treatment To Reduce Weight

My 70 year old sister is overweight and leads quite a sedentary life style, no excercise. 2 days ago her feet and ankles were swollen and had red blotches. After elevating them and walking everyday, the swelling has gone down although red blotches remain. Is it safe to go on a long haul flight this week. We have no history of heart disease in the family.
