What is Water Retention? Causes, Symptoms and Remedies

Water retention is a buildup of fluid in the spaces between cells. This phenomenon, known as increased extracellular water, is often favored by a malfunction of the lymphatic system or a slowing of peripheral microcirculation.

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

• Swollen and heavy legs
• Less firm skin
• Appearance of edema
• Feeling of pressure and swelling
• Fluid buildup in the body
• Increased visibility of skin blemishes

General remedies

• Improve eating habits
• Drink plenty of water throughout the day
• Move consistently
• Apply draining cosmetic products
• Carry out weekly intensive treatments
• Using fabrics with FIR technology to improve microcirculation

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
• Grains
• Legumes
• Lean proteins (fish, white meat)
• Foods rich in potassium (spinach, avocados, bananas)

What to avoid

• Excessive salt
• Industrial snacks
• Sugary drinks
• Alcohol
• Fried foods
• Sausages

Hydration

Drinking at least 1.5–2 litres of water a day helps to counteract retention and eliminate extracellular water.

Useful habits for draining

• Walk at least 30 minutes a day
• Alternate hot and cold water in the shower
• Avoid shoes that are totally flat or too high
• Rest by lifting your legs for a few minutes
• Avoid clothes that are too tight

The Importance of Physical Activity in Reducing Water Retention

Physical activity is one of the most effective concrete remedies to reduce fluid stagnation. Moving the legs stimulates the muscle pump, promotes venous return and supports the lymphatic system in natural drainage.

The best sports for draining

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

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

Innovative Technologies in FGM04 Products: How FIR Clothing Helps Counteract Excess Fluids

FIR (Far Infrared Rays) technology is one of the most innovative strengths of FGM04 products. FIRs are far infrared rays that, once re-emitted by the body, generate a slight beneficial heat capable of:

• improve microcirculation
• increase tissue oxygenation
• promote the reduction of extracellular water
• Enhance drainage
• improve skin tone

This technology is incorporated in:

• leggings with FIR technology
• FIR shaping jumpsuits (almost all jumpsuits currently on the FGM04 website)
• pyjamas with FIR technology by FGM04
• Tights with FIR technology
• Cosmetici Spray (DrenFIR, CellFIR e AdipeFIR)

Constant use allows you to keep microcirculation active throughout the day.

Treatment Customization: FGM04 Strategies and Cosmetic Products to Counteract Excess Fluids

Every person is different, and water retention can present with different intensities and symptoms. For this reason, it is essential to build a personalized path by choosing both daily and weekly treatments, enhanced by FIR fabrics.
