Excessive fluid accumulation in the body - how to recognise and how to prevent it

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
