Water retention or also known as edema is the accumulation of fluids in the tissues and cavities as well as the circulatory system. This can cause swelling in the feet, hands, ankles, and legs, and it usually appears to women during pregnancy or the period before.
It can also occur at people who are not physically active, those who take medications for a longer period of time, as a result of sedentary lifestyle and during a long flight as well.
Even though most of the edema causes are not life-threatening, it can be a symptom of kidney disease and heart failure. However, if there are not any underlying conditions, there is a way to avoid water retention and reduce the swelling.

1. Excessive Intake of Sodium
Having a diet which is rich in salt and not consuming enough water can make your body use its reserves, which leads to retaining water. Water makes the cells expand to 20 times. It is very important to know that salt is not the only product which contains sodium.
It can be also found in processed foods such as processed meat and some condiments as well as canned vegetables. Himalayan or Celtic sea salt, on the other hand, can reverse the damage caused by the table salt.
2. Deficiency in Magnesium
Magnesium deficiency can lead to water retention. Magnesium is a mineral essential for almost all functions in the body, so if your body is deficient in magnesium, this can obstruct the proper function of the body, which will eventually result in water retention.
