Fluid Retention? Reduce your salt intake

If you consume a lot of salty or processed foods or add salt to your food, then you might be adding to fluid retention problems.  This is because the body retains fluid in order to dilute sodium. 

If you only go to the toilet 2 or 3 times per day and are drinking sufficient quantities then you might be consuming too much salt.  Reduce your intake by cutting back on processed foods, hard cheeses, salted nuts, crisps, packet soups and go easy on the table salt.
