Do you feel puffy? Has your favorite pair of pants suddenly become tight?
You might not have gained weight… your body could be retaining water!
Fluid retention is something many people struggle with, yet most don’t know why or how to fix it.
What is fluid retention?
Fluid retention means your body is storing more water than it should within its tissues.
The result? Swelling in the legs, hands, or even the abdomen and face.
Common causes:
-
Not drinking enough water
-
Eating too much processed salt
-
Prolonged sitting or standing
-
Hormonal changes during your menstrual cycle
-
Weakened kidney function
How to reduce it naturally:
✅ Drink 2–3 liters of water per day
✅ Cut back on sodium (salt) intake
✅ Eat natural diuretic foods like parsley and celery
✅ Take a daily light walk
