Bloating and edema are a build up in the body of things that, were everything working right, would be releasing. Logical. That's not rocket science.
If things aren't working the way they should, there is a reason, because the body WILL if it CAN, so again, logically, if everything works in cooperation, your whole body is a symphony of relationship. If something is off, everything else flexes to accommodate.
Chronic issues, see a doctor, or a Naturopath, or an Allopathic doctor, or an Acupuncturist, or even an Herbalist. But what if it's temporary?
Sorting for simple ways to support our functions on a daily basis, what can we do? You wake up feeling bloated. Your pants are tighter, maybe the skin on your hands feel tight.
How can we eat to support our body's best functioning?
How can we naturally get our body to start releasing those fluids instead of retaining them? Ew.
Juice green! Eat as much raw for a few days as you can manage.
Diuretic foods include:
Asparagus, artichokes, celery, melons, parsley, cucumbers, brussel sprouts.
Brussel sprouts stimulate the kidneys. Cabbage and carrots are also good for elimination.
Juice them, eat them. Add them to your daily fare and feel the fluids release!
Watermelon, cantaloupe and cranberries are great too.
Remember, if you detox too quickly, you may get a slight headache, or feel flu-like symptoms. This is a good thing! Support that release action with water, hot lemon juice tea, a footbath, and add some vitamin E, C, or alpha lipoic acid for anti oxidant action. Just a suggestion. It's what I do. You might find it helpful too. Of course, this is not medical advice, just some suggestions from one friend to another!
