HOW TO REDUCE WATER RETENTION NATURALLY

HOW TO REDUCE WATER RETENTION NATURALLY

‎1. DRINK MORE WATER: Staying hydrated helps your body flush out excess sodium and fluid. 

‎2. CUT DOWN ON SALT: Too much sodium causes the body to retain fluid. Limit processed foods, snacks, and canned soups that are high in salt.

‎3. EAT POTASSIUM-RICH FOODS: Foods like bananas, avocados, oranges, and spinach help balance sodium levels and encourage fluid balance.

‎4. STAY ACTIVE: Regular exercise improves circulation and helps move excess fluid from your tissues back into your bloodstream.

‎5. ELEVATE YOUR LEGS: If your feet or legs are swollen, raise them above heart level for 15–20 minutes to encourage fluid drainage.

‎6. EAT A HEALTHY DIET: Focus on fruits, vegetables, and whole foods. Avoid refined carbohydrates and sugary drinks that can cause water retention.

‎7.  AVOID SITTING OR STANDING TOO LONG: Move around every 30–60 minutes to keep blood and lymph fluid flowing properly.

‎8. TRY NATURAL DIURETICS: Certain foods and herbs like cucumber, parsley, watermelon, lemon, and green tea help the body release extra fluid naturally.

‎9. GET ENOUGH SLEEP: Poor sleep affects hormones that control fluid balance in the body.
