How to reduce sodium swelling ๐ง
If you feel swollen because you eat salty or get a lot of sodium, try to adjust accordingly. ๐งโจ
1.Drink enough water (and sip often)
โข Drink 1.5-2 liters of clean water per day (if no disease requires water restriction)
โข Drinking enough water will help the kidneys expel excess sodium through the urine.
2. Increase foods high in potassium.
โข Like bananas, avocados, spinach. It's sweet.
โข Potassium helps balance sodium-potassium in the body, making the body expel better salt
3. Move the body
โข Walk gently, stretch, or exercise gently to stimulate blood and lymphatic flow.
โข Moving reduces edema in the hands, feet or legs
4. Avoid more sodium in this range.
โข Abstain from processed foods such as instant noodles, snacks, salty sauces
โข Use herbs or spices instead of salt in cooking.
5. Rest your feet high (if your legs are swollen)
โข Sleep 15-20 minutes above heart level, allowing fluid to flow back up.
6. Get enough rest and reduce stress.
โข Sleep for 7-9 hours because balanced hormones help the body expel salt well.
Sodium swelling normally collapses within 24-48 hours. If you try these methods, swelling for more than 2-3 days or other symptoms such as tired breathing, chest pain, see a doctor for further examination. ๐# Sodium swelling # Reduce sodium # Sodium # Lemon 8 Howtoo # lemon 8 diary
