10 Ways to Reduce Water Retention
Water Retention Method #7: Maintain Good Sleeping Habits
When we sleep, our bodies are more active than you think. During this time, the body repairs tissues, blood pressure lowers, and the body secretes hormones. These are all essential in how the body functions and deals with daily stressors. According to the Mayo Clinic, adults should get about 7-9 hours of sleep each night. Problems that are seen without enough sleep are impaired memory, high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, and depression.
Sleep may have an effect on the kidneys, where water balance and sodium levels are regulated. When a person is deprived of sleeping, it becomes a domino effect of problems. Though it is difficult in today’s world to get the recommended amount of sleep, the importance of it for our overall health is crucial.
