3 foolproof methods to eliminate water retention annoying and unsightly disorder from legs, belly and buttocks

Always feeling bloated and heavy is an unpleasant sensation. Water retention is very common in women and is caused by venous insufficiency.

Swollen ankles, sore knees, the feeling of being heavy and squeezed in jeans are the most common symptoms. Often this water retention is caused by a permeability of the capillaries. The water in fact passes through the interstitial tissues without being perfectly reabsorbed by the veins and lymphatic vessels. This is why it becomes “stagnant” and causes swelling.

Nutrition and massages

Massage or, specifically, lymphatic drainage is chosen only in case of diagnosed lymphatic edema problems or in cases of advanced cellulite.

For water retention, which is lighter and easier to combat, it is sufficient to self-massage starting from the feet to the hips. We do not make violent movements or too strong pressure to avoid breaking the capillaries which are fragile. It is important to do these massages in the evening before falling asleep by applying a good cream that stimulates circulation.

Even a healthy diet can help us fight water retention. This is why we prefer protein foods, or foods rich in fiber and vitamins. The foods that help drain the most are pineapple, artichokes, asparagus, broccoli, celery, cabbage, cucumber and melon. Let us also and above all remember to drink 1.5-2 liters of water a day, also integrating with draining herbal teas.
