How to fight water retention and why do it? The accumulation of liquids, the water that we retain in our body, causes swelling of the belly and legs, edematous appearance of the extremities, swelling under the eyes, but also intestinal and regularity problems, as well as weight. Once a colleague of mine asked me for help with irritable bowel. I advised her to talk to the doctor about a drug that at the time, when I also suffered from the same problem, was very effective in my case and also gentler than other drugs. She took it, deflated her belly, and in a week she lost her beauty of eight kilos. What had caused those pounds?Air and water. Swelling and retention, because if you have intestinal problems, an imbalance is created to which the body responds with water retention. I know you are thinking: but so many kilos?
Yes. Consider that he was very overweight, but yes.
Water and bloating turn into excess weight , which has nothing to do with fat. So let’s try to rebalance our body in 4 easy steps that immediately reduce the problem of water retention. We won’t lose eight pounds like my colleague, but a pound or two is likely to go away.

WATER RETENTION, WAY IN 4 STEPS

1. Check these habits: alcohol and sleep deprivation slow down your metabolism and cause water retention. After a sleepless night we get more bloated, and after we have drunk too much, the weight increases. If you want to get rid of water retention, do not drink more than half a glass of wine (one for men, half for women) and sleep at least seven / eight hours straight. Smoking and drug abuse can also cause this effect, remember that.
2. Cut down on simple sugars and moderate the salt: when I say moderate the salt, I don’t mean to make it disappear from your table, but to avoid foods that are too salty. An excess of carbohydrates also results in water retention, especially abdominal bloating. It is no coincidence that when you do a low carb you initially lose more weight. If you have a swollen stomach, avoid eating fruit after the first dish, halve the portions of the latter, eat only one type of carbohydrate per meal in small portions. Above all, avoid an excess of sweets, snacks, bars, chocolates.
3. Eat raw, draining vegetables: cucumbers, fennel, radishes, celery, tomatoes, raw onion. All of these vegetables fight water retention in two ways. On the one hand they contribute to hydration, on the other they remineralize our body. Instead of drinking four liters of water and risking stressing the kidneys and making the situation worse, make a smarter choice, and for example eat raw vegetables with every meal and try some centrifuged cucumber, cucumber + fennel, fennel + celery. Eat salads of parsley leaves and celery, which you can combine with red Tropea onions and some cherry tomatoes, seasoned with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. They are very good and deflate belly.
4. Drink the right herbal teas – another smart choice instead of drinking like a bloated little camel. A cup of herbal tea twice a day, including draining ones. Excellent: fennel seeds, centella asiatica, pilosella. In addition to this, consider a period of drainage and purification, to help the liver and kidneys, but also the intestines. Use a good draining agent for at least two weeks, and then a purifier, especially during the change of seasons, or after holidays and excesses.
