- Poor Diet:
- High Sodium Intake: Consuming too much salt (sodium) can lead to water retention. Sodium attracts and holds onto water in the body.
- Processed Foods: Processed and packaged foods often contain high levels of sodium. Limiting your intake of these foods can help reduce water retention.
- Dehydration:
- Inadequate Water Intake: Paradoxically, not drinking enough water can also contribute to water retention. When the body is dehydrated, it tends to hold onto water to prevent further loss.
- Increase Water Consumption: Ensure you are adequately hydrated by drinking enough water throughout the day. This can help signal to your body that it’s safe to release excess fluid.
