One of the risks with edema is that you dehydrate. Even though you are bloated and full of fluid, you do not take in enough water and other healthy liquids to help get your body back on track.
The issue is that you are bloated and sick feeling and do not want to eat or drink anything at all.
If anything, you should drink MORE water with edema raging in your body. Your systems are not working well and the more fluid and trips to the bathroom, the better.
You are trying to flush all the old fluid out; not leave it there to keep rotting in your tissues. This is the reason diuretics help.
I am guilty of not drinking enough in the course of a normal day. Before I lost weight and got healthy, I only drank diet soda, and that was a hard habit to break.
If I drank as much water as I used to drink diet soda, I might have something.
I do have some tips and tricks for water drinking, and need to focus on them now:
- drink the adrennal cocktail 2X per day. This is helpful in many ways aside from edema. I am pretty good at keeping up with this habit.
- add lime or other fruit flavoring to water to make it tastier
- drink cold water
- drink hot water
- drink some water each time I get up from my seat
- drink some water each time I finish drinking something else
- drink a lot before sleeping
- drink a lot upon awakening
Any ideas from you? I am open to trying anything!
My photos are both from SE Asian airports, where they do not let you bring your own water in so you do not blow the place up. Sigh...
