How Do You Stop The Body From Retaining Water?

Try not to eat too much salt. Most canned food contains lots of salt , and so do soft drinks.
Some foods list it as sodium. Try exercising more. Don't sit too long, or stand too long at a time.
You can take water pills (diuretics) from your doctor. You will have to urinate a lot more frequently.
You can also drink tea. Try elevating your legs at least 15 minutes a day, when your legs swell.

Water retention is a condition whereby abnormal changes in blood pressure and permeability in the capillary walls will see fluid escape into the spaces between cells, accumulating as tissue and creating a weightier appearance. This has various potential causes, although it is most commonly linked to dietary change. The production of histamines are often the main cause, as a reaction to certain foods, which can retain water by slowing down the operations of the kidneys. Anaemia, protein and mineral deficiency can also cause this problem, as well as hormone changes in pregnancy and premenstruation. Dieting will not usually cause the body to stop retaining water, and may in fact make it worse. The predominantly prescribed treatment are diuretics, which encourage the kidneys to produce sodium, which then removes excess water. However, these can cause fluctuations in cholesterol and mineral levels in the blood. Herbal treatments are less damaging, by using treatments that aim to balance the loss of minerals.
