Excessive fluid accumulation in the body - how to recognise and how to prevent it
Over 70% of the human body is water. Retaining water in the body is a consequence that is gets out from our blood vessels and accumulates in the tissues. As a consequence, swelling develops - there is an increase in body weight, a feeling of heaviness and fatigue... There may be many reasons - from more complex pathologies to relatively simple to solve problems. It is important to realise the cause, and if it is a disease, intervene at the source.
The most common symptoms of water accumulation in the body include:
- swelling of the body - usually swollen feet and fingers manifesting themselves around the ankles and problems with the taking off or putting on a ring
- feeling of heavy legs and tightness in shoes, especially at the end of the day
- swelling of the eyelids, i.e. bags under the eyes
- headaches and fatigue
- irritability and lower concentration
- weight increase of 4.4-6-6 lb, a feeling of heaviness
Regardless of what causes the retention of water, you can overcome the symptoms and prevent excessive accumulation of liquids in your body by following the following rules:
- avoid spending too much time in the same position (sitting or standing all day)
- avoid walking in high heels
- reduce salt and sugar intake
- reduce the intake of processed food
- increase fluid intake
- drink tea with diuretic properties
- avoid wearing tight clothing
- lay down with your legs raised for a few minutes a day
- increase muscle mass through physical activity
- maintain the correct body weight
- increase the consumption of magnesium and vitamin B
- avoid drinking alcoholic beverages
- stop smoking
- when doing drainage massages always make strong movements towards the heart
- avoid exposing the affected area to heat sources (excessive sunlight, sauna, bathing in very hot water)
- if you have edema on your feet, sleep with your legs raised above your heart level
