Diuretics offer a temporary solution. They force out stored water along with some essential nutrients. Again, the body perceives a threat and will replace the lost water at the first opportunity. So, the best way to overcome the problem of water retention is to give your body plenty of water. By doing this, stored water will be released.
If water retention is a constant problem, excess salt may be the culprit. The body will toelrate sodium only in a particular concentration. The more salt you eat, the more water your system retains to dilute it. But, getting rid of salt is easy. All you have to do is to drink more water. It takes away excess sodium, as it is forced through the kidneys.
An overweight person needs more water than a thin one. Larger people have larger metabolic loads. Since water is the key to fat metabolism, the overweight person needs more water.
Water helps to maintain proper muscle tone by giving muscles their natural ability to contract and by preventing dehydration. It also helps to prevent the sagging skin that usually follows weightloss. Shrinking cells are bouyed by the water, which plumps the skin and leaves it clear, healthy, and resilient.
