HOW TO CLEANSE AND DETOXIFY YOUR LYMPHATIC SYSTEM

Often, fluid retention can be effectively combated with a few changes to your diet and lifestyle:

• Don't stop drinking water. Between 2-3 liters of water daily are recommended. If one day you neglect yourself, try to drink at least 1.5 liters and not less. Without enough water, your body will retain it to ensure that cells, tissues, and bones are hydrated. The main cause of fluid retention -mostly water- is usually dehydration. A thirsty organism retains all the water it can. And be careful, this retained water becomes contaminated with toxins. (You can also take part of this water with squeezed lemon)
• Reduce sodium (salt) intake. If you get used to eating without salt, better. Take a good look at the food you buy. If they contain a high level of salt, they are not good and many canned or packaged foods contain more salt for preservation.
• Balance sodium with potassium. The ying-yang. Sodium causes more cell water and potassium is there to regulate the excess. Eat plantains or bananas, sweet potatoes, watermelon, spinach, broccoli, pumpkin, or beet root.

• Diet: Avoid processed foods including sauces and pizzas, wheat, dairy products, fried foods, excess fats and oils, pastries -especially industrial ones-, alcohol, conventionally raised meats -injected with antibiotics, water, preservatives and enhancers-, sugar or artificial sweeteners .
