Water retention: what to do?



The name "cellulite" fully expresses an inflammatory state that affects the tissues.

The inflammatory state is due to a retention process that lasts over time, causing swelling and often extending to a state of pain accompanied by a certain mental distress.

Let's see together what to do in case of water retention, and how to act .

Water retention: what comes from

At the base of water retention there could be a metabolic slowdown that can have its cause on a physiological, hormonal and emotional level.

Even experiencing a phase of stagnation, with blocked emotions and the inability to express them, acts in favor of counterproductive retention.

Then the main value takes over: the love of movement: a sedentary life harms the internal organs, the joints and the mood; it does not help to free one's emotions and forces a stagnation that has nothing to do with the progress and evolution of one's motor results.

Water retention is directly related to tissue inflammation and difficulty in eliminating toxins. Certainly the toxins derive from how we eat but also from the thoughts we produce and the people we surround ourselves with. Movement is essential to keep the metabolic motor active. In fact, retention is nothing but a solution that the body finds to deal with a metabolic disorder, to "clean" the system.

There is a food water retention directly linked to the diet, a circulatory water retention connected to inefficiency of the venous and lymphatic system, an iatrogenic water retention ( abuse of anti-inflammatory, corticosteroids, hormone replacement therapy and contraceptives and a secondary water retention linked to renal failure or cardiac, bladder or liver disease, arterial hypertension.

Water retention: what to do, how to cure it

First of all it is necessary to decongest the purification organs by adopting a diet that goes to strongly detoxify the body. It is also necessary to give the right water supply .

You should also evaluate any allergic reactions that can trigger histamine and subsequent swelling.

Movement, as we have said, is the key, as long as it does not go to fatigue the body too much. With a personal trainer or a targeted program that you follow regularly, you avoid the risk of being the same as yourself and start believing in your own potential.

The self-massages are extraordinary, not only for the effect of the manipulation, but also for the signal that is sent to the unconscious of real will to take care. Even if the human anatomical map is not perfectly known, it could be an opportunity to see how the lymphatic stations are located and where the muscles are inserted.

And do not think that, to say, acting on the jaw, you are not also working on the whole body. Alternatively, even undergoing a lymphatic massage by a qualified operator can be a valid solution. Do not underestimate light and almost imperceptible maneuvers: the lymphatic system is worked in this way.

Phytotherapeutic treatments also go very well by taking decoctions and herbal teas with specific herbs such as horsetail can lead to very valid results.
