Too much time on your feet can cause swelling in your feet and ankles. If you are overweight, the extra weight can be a contributing factor of the swelling. If you have a tendency to hold water anyway, then standing will aggravate the situation of swollen feet. Decrease your salt intake, and elevate your feet for relief.
