The Facts Your Weight And Water Retention

Water weight is basically water that has been stored up inside your body. It is also known as "water retention". It can add up to a rather large portion of your weight, and once removed can dramatically alter your overall weight. Water retention is usually caused by the body trying to protect itself. Your body is a hardy thing, with a massive amount of fail safes that automatically kick in when it thinks it is in danger. Water retention is one of those fail safes - it's the body's way of trying to keep you alive! If you suspect you are suffering from water retention, the best thing you can do is to consult your doctor. There are many causes and solutions, as we have detailed below, but your doctor will be able to advise you on which one is apt in your case. Some of the common causes of water retention are: • Poor diet, or a diet high in salt • Dehydration (your body believes there is not enough water available so hoards it in places) • Adverse reactions to medication Water retention can make you feel bloated and uncomfortable, and may even cause the swelling of your lower limbs as the tissues hang on to water for longer than normal. In the majority of cases, the problem is temporary and rights itself, but if you're not sure, visit your doctor for advice. These are some of the most common remedies for water retention: Drink more water Yes, you will put on more weight initially, but this water will sit in your stomach for a short while, and then be flushed away, usually taking a load of bad stuff with it. By drinking lots of water you are telling your body that it doesn't need to retain water as there's plenty available, and the water it has been storing up is let go. Regular exercise By taking regular exercise, you will increase your breathing rate exponentially. When you exhale, you exhale a mixture of carbon dioxide and water. Also, you sweat a lot, which will dispel not only excess water but also salt, which can also cause water retention. Reduce your salt intake An excess of salt in your diet will cause dehydration, and therefore can severely increase your water retention. We need some salt in our diets in order to survive, but an excess can cause several problems. The breakdown of salts in our bodies uses up a lot of water, and this water can be drawn from vital organs when there is none available. This causes the body to go straight into dehydration mode and start retaining water. Check out your diet and evaluate how much salt you consume per week. The benefits of getting rid of water retention are numerous - you will not only feel less bloated and stuffed, but you will also lose a little weight - and that can't be a bad thing!!
