There are 3 things that 99% of those who experience water retention are doing and they all fall under the same category.
These are not drinking enough water, over-eating sodium, and not getting enough potassium.
For some reason, individuals completely neglect basic dietary guidelines for the main determinants on whether you will be bloated or not.
If your water intake is high enough, your body will sense it and stop retaining water to remain hydrated. If you’re not drinking enough water, your body will suck up the water it has available to ensure you don’t get dehydrated.
The human body is smart, and will react quickly to accommodate deficiencies. The result of this is you being bloated and holding a layer of subcutaneous water retention, much like a camel.
In addition, potassium recommendations are as high as 4,700mg for most people. However, it is rare that anyone comes close to hitting this amount.
This is mostly attributed to the fact that most foods aren’t rich in potassium and it becomes a task to hit the recommended intake.
However, if you are experiencing water retention, it is more than worth it to add more potassium to your diet so you can mitigate edema and the negative symptoms that go with it.
Finally, by eating foods with less sodium than processed junk, your body will have a more favorable ratio of potassium to sodium, which will promote a water retention free physique.
You need some sodium in your diet, but if you are experiencing bloating, then sodium intake is likely one of the main culprits.
With high sodium intake from eating out, not drinking enough water, and not getting enough potassium, you’re shooting yourself in the foot and putting yourself in a position where water retention is inevitable.
Add anabolics to the mix, and you exasperate your issue many times with several extra pounds of water retention.
