[Health Channel/Comprehensive Report] Many people think that "edema means too much water in the body, so you can't drink water." In this regard, nutritionist Liu Yahui said that edema is abnormal water metabolism in the body. Drink plenty of water to increase metabolism.

In addition, you can also reduce edema through moderate exercise, adequate intake of protein, fruits and vegetables, and mainly based on prototype food.

Liu Yahui posted a post on the Facebook fan page "Nutritionist Emma" to remind that edema is a result, and there are many reasons for this result. It is definitely not a problem that can be solved by drinking less water. Edema ≠ water restriction, don't make it wrong again .

There are 4 causes of edema

●Sedentary sitting and standing for a long time:

Maintaining the same posture for a long time may lead to poor circulation in the lower limbs and accumulation of water, the most common being leg edema.

●Bad eating habits:

Too much taste and too many processed products will make the sodium and potassium ions in the body unbalanced, and the accumulation of sodium ions in the body will cause the water to lose balance.

●Diseases:

Heart failure, liver cirrhosis and kidney disease may all cause edema due to metabolic circulation, water removal obstacles, and low plasma albumin.

●Malnutrition:

Protein will regulate colloid osmotic pressure in the body, and insufficient protein will allow fluid to accumulate in the interstitial space.

The nutritionist said that edema is an abnormality in the body's water metabolism; the picture is a situational photo.

5 Skimming Steps to Eliminate Edema

Liu Yahui pointed out that edema can be eliminated through the following methods:

●Moderate exercise and activity:

Office workers who sit and stand for a long time can promote the circulation of the lower limbs through exercise and help the fluid return to the heart.

●Mainly focus on prototype foods:

Sodium will retain water, avoid too salty, processed, and heavy-tasting diets, choose more prototype foods, season with spices, and reduce seasonings.

●Sufficient protein:

for malnourished edema, you should take enough protein to supplement your body's needs.

The general adult requirement is 1 gram of protein per kilogram of body weight, but the requirement may vary depending on age and disease.

●Sufficient fruits and vegetables:

5 fruits and vegetables a day, absorb potassium ions from fruits and vegetables, excrete excess sodium, and take water out of the body by the way, you can eat custard apples, bananas, and cantaloupes.

●Water must not be less:

water can help metabolic circulation, accelerate the elimination of sodium, but can eliminate edema.

However, if the disease causes edema, excessive water may aggravate the disease. At this time, water should be limited according to different diseases.
