Swelling of the face and other parts of the body indicates that water-salt metabolism is disturbed.
This may indicate an excess of salt in the diet. For example, if the menu contains a lot of holiday salads, pastries, baked dishes or caviar. All this retains fluid in the body.
Dr. Ekaterina Kashukh spoke about this in a conversation with representatives of the Izvestia publication.
As the doctor noted, the problem also arises if a person overdoes it with alcohol.
In cases where the diet is established, but the swelling still does not go away for a long time, then this may indicate that the person should have their kidneys checked.
According to Kashukh, kidney damage may not be noticeable for a long time. But there may also be fatigue and weakness.
As the doctor told journalists, when organs stop filtering blood normally and releasing excess elements into the urine, they also let through important substances, such as protein.
The loss of this substance leads to swelling not only of the face, but also of the extremities. In this case, it is important not to postpone a visit to the clinic.
