The appearance of edema is an unpleasant situation. Therefore, it is important to know the reasons.
As neurologist Ekaterina Demyanovskaya noted in a conversation with representatives of the Life.ru publication, the problem often lies in nutrition.
Excess salt increases the risk of swelling.
There is also a possibility of heart problems if there is too much of this component in the diet.
In addition, it should be taken into account that edema is typical for people with a protein deficiency in their diet: fluid leaks into the tissues because the blood itself loses its ability to retain water.
The doctor emphasized that alcohol should be excluded if you want to get rid of swelling.
There are other reasons for the appearance of edema. As the doctor noted, we are talking about a violation of the drinking regime, and a sedentary lifestyle also leads to fluid stagnation.
Taking certain medications, PMS and pregnancy also trigger this problem.
Previously, we talked about which products reduce swelling.
