Default Water retention

How to identify water retention? I know one way is to press a part of ur body & release ur finger. if the part of ur body is still pressed down, its water retention.

But how do i know if my chubby face is due to fats/water?

& does sauna help in getting rid of water retention?

If you weigh yourself during the morning, you will notice that you're heavier at that time. Water is retain in the body while your sleep. Reason? gravity....

You can try going to the sauna cos it encourages circulation but do continue to drink the minimum intake of fluids everyday.

I was told to drink 250ml of water every hour. I usually drink one glass at the start of the day to flush out toxics. It's quite good, I never had any constipation problems too.

During the day, you are on the move and gravity tends to pull the water down. Your face will be less swollen as compared to during morning hours. By sweating, you help clear the water and toxic in the body. so sauna maybe a good way of getting rid of water retention.

I think a lot of people have the misconception that drinking more water will make them retent even more. If you don't drink more water, toxics will build up and it is one of the causes of water retention. Always go to the toilet when theres the urge to do so.

yes...water gets rid of salt which causes water retention. 250ml every hour? but do u like drink 250ml throughout the one hour or down it all at the start of every hour?
