When retaining water, there are a lot of options you can try. One of them is to blame your genetics, but that's a cop-out. You know what causes water retention? It's all the things you eat and drink. Here's a list of 5 foods and drinks that can help get rid of water retention:
1. Tea
It contains caffeine that can stimulate the kidneys to eliminate excess water. It also has cucurbitacins that can reduce inflammation in your body and prevent bloating.
2. Water
Drink two to three glasses of water before each meal to avoid overeating. Drinking enough water each day can reduce the appearance of cellulite because it helps flush out toxins and excess salt from your body. However, too much water can actually cause more harm than good, so don't overload on H2O if you're trying to lose weight.
3. Turmeric
This spice contains curcumin that reduces inflammation in the body and helps eliminate toxins through urine and sweat.
4. Bitter Melon
This fruit is loaded with antioxidants that help prevent bloating and swelling caused by water retention.
5. Green Tea
Rich in catechins which have been shown to help ease fluid buildup in the legs.
