You can retain up to 2.5 kg of fluid per day. Here’s how to get rid of the excess.
Water retention is excess fluid stored in the body’s tissues, which can cause swelling and bloating, particularly in the abdomen, legs, and arms. It’s a temporary condition, often resulting from diet, lifestyle, or hormonal changes. Understanding the causes of excess water is the first step to effectively managing this problem. While weight fluctuations of a few kilograms throughout the day are normal, weight gain of even 5 kilograms can be alarming and bothersome.
Understanding the Science of Water Retention
Water retention, or edema, occurs when excess fluid accumulates in the body. The body is made up of approximately 60% water, which plays a crucial role in many bodily functions. However, when this fluid balance is disturbed, water retention can occur. This can be caused by electrolyte imbalances, such as sodium and potassium, which regulate the body’s water balance. Hormonal changes, particularly those associated with the menstrual cycle, can also contribute to water retention.
