what is fluid retention?

Fluid retention, also known as water retention, occurs when the body holds onto excess fluids, leading to a bloated or puffy feeling. 

While there can be many causes, diet may play a role. Consuming too much sodium can cause the body to retain water, as sodium attracts and holds onto water. Processed and packaged foods are common culprits for high sodium intake.

Additionally, not drinking enough water can trick the body into retaining fluid as a protective measure.

When the body holds onto less excess water, you'll likely experience reduced puffiness, helping you feel lighter and more energised. This can also lead to a better fit in your clothes.

how to reduce
mild fluid retention

One key step is to keep an eye on your sodium intake. High-sodium foods, such as processed snacks, can cause your body to hold onto water, so try swapping them for fresh, whole foods and low-sodium options.

Another area to consider is carbohydrate consumption. Carbs are stored in your body in a format that attracts water, so cutting back on excess refined carbohydrates can help lessen fluid retention.

Both alcohol and caffeine can contribute to dehydration if consumed in excess. We are less likely to retain excess fluid when well hydrated, so be sure to consume alcohol and caffeine in moderation.

Managing stress is a key to overall well-being, and it may have a role in fluid retention. Elevated cortisol levels can sometimes result in increased fluid retention.

And let's not forget the power of staying well-hydrated. Drinking more water might seem counterintuitive, but it can actually help keep the body’s fluid balance properly regulated.

With herbs traditionally used in Western Herbal Medicine - celery seed and dandelion root - FBX Diuret can temporarily relieve mild fluid retention.
