Main causes

  • Diet too high in salt or sugar
  • Sedentary lifestyle
  • Hormonal imbalances (pregnancy, period, menopause)
  • Stress and insufficient sleep
  • Temperatures
  • Genetic predisposition
  • Insufficient water intake
  • Very tight clothes and incorrect posture

Typical symptoms

Nutrition and Lifestyle: The Basics of Eliminating Water Retention

The first real anti-retention action begins at the table and in the daily routine.

What to eat

  • Draining vegetables such as fennel, cucumbers, asparagus
  • Water-rich fruits such as pineapple, watermelon, blueberries

The Importance of Physical Activity in Reducing Water Retention

The best sports for draining

  • Bicycle
  • Swimming
  • Pilates
  • Draining yoga
  • Bodyweight circuits

Practiced consistently, these exercises allow you to eliminate liquids and deflate after just a few weeks.
