Water Retention Method #3: Drink Water
Drinking water to reduce fluid retention may seem counterintuitive. The body uses water in all its cells, tissues, and organs. It is essential to regulate body temperature and body functions such as transportation of nutrients and waste removal. Most importantly, water intake is important for kidney health and the liver.
It is recommended that women get at least 2.7 liters of water a day and men get 3.7 liters a day. It is important to get the recommended amount since consumption of too little leads to dehydration. The consumption of drinking an excessive amount of water may increase water weight. It is proven through studies that being well-hydrated can reduce water retention.
