Water Retention: Is That Bloated and Puffy Feeling Anything To Worry About?

“Everyone gets a little bloated and puffy feeling, right?  It’s a bit annoying to get up and use the toilet all night long, but no worries…..right?”

If your doctor isn’t concerned, why should you be?

It’s just a little water retention.

There Are Reasons YOU Should Be Concerned About Excess Fluid:

1. Your body becomes completely out of balance when it holds on to fluid in an effort to protect you.
2. Any excess fluid interferes with absorption of OXYGEN and NUTRITION!
3. The sooner you achieve a healthy fluid balance, the less damage will be caused to your kidneys, heart and other vital organs.
4. Rapid accumulation of fluids can be life threatening.
5. Not using water effectively stresses your body.
6. If you use water more effectively you will use oxygen, vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients more effectively.

Creating a healthy fluid balance may be as simple as reducing your exposure to toxins, making better food choices, or supplementation with the right amount of the right nutrient.

Feeling better may be within your grasp.

Water, Precious Water!

Your body needs water!  It is an important component of every one of the trillions of cells that makes up your body.

As well as carrying nutrients and oxygen to the cells, water eliminates waste products from your body.

When your body loses the ability to maintain your fluid balance, you are on a slippery slope of deterioration.

• At first you may notice it in your skin and hair
• Then you will start noticing it in your energy level
• Your mental clarity and attitude will suffer as well

The most likely cause of early water retention is foods you eat frequently.

When your daily favorites start to cause an allergy or sensitivity related histamine release, you will retain water.

Do you eat out frequently?

You have no control over what others prepare for you.  The  way to isolate any food allergy, is to keep a record of what you eat, as well as a record of your symptoms.

• If you are intolerant, but not actually allergic, you will still experience this histamine issue, but your symptoms may be intermittent and not readily associated to the foods you are eating.

• They may not show up on a skin prick test either.

Emotional trauma and stress contribute to magnesium deficiencies.

Good nutrition is most easily achieved in a quiet-nurturing home setting.

• The American Medical Association says that magnesium is the most prevalent mineral deficiency.

• Magnesium is a valuable electrolyte, if you are deficient you will have fluid balance issues!

• Imagine quickly shedding water weight!

• Taking a specific supplement and knowing what to eat, and what to avoid, just might change your life.

You may be carrying a significant amount of excess water around, and not even be aware of it.  Click on this link to check the list of symptoms and see if you have signs of water retention.

Imagine quickly shedding water weight!

Building health is much easier than reversing disease.

If you are retaining so much water that it is collecting around your ankle bone and you have water in your lungs, your time has run out!

1. Have your blood oxygen level checked, even if that requires a trip to the emergency room.
2. Make sure that you are able to maintain a 92% blood oxygen saturation during your normal daily activities like walking and climbing stairs.
3. Discuss treatment options with your doctor.  You may need to take diuretics (prescription water pills, or intravenous medication if your situation has become dangerous) to rid your lungs of fluid.  You can’t breathe through water!
4. Remember that salt is not the only cause of water retention!  Sugar encourages water retention.  You should take care to consume only high quality food and supplements. Reduced and eliminate your  chemical intake as soon as possible.  (The most common chemicals are tobacco, alcohol, and caffeine.)
5. Use supplemental oxygen to keep your blood oxygen saturation 92% or above at all times.

Fluid accumulation can quickly become dangerous.  If you are experiencing significant fluid retention and then have difficulty breathing, do not hesitate to call 911 immediately.

When you take a look down the road at water retention, you can understand why it is a good idea to give this issue attention sooner, rather than later.
