And as part of the fight-or-flight response, our adrenal glands release cortisol (also known as the stress hormone).\u00a0<strong>Cortisol increases fluid retention<\/strong>. In case \u00a0you want to\u00a0forget about puffiness and stiff joints, you shall practice breathing techniques, yoga, leg lifting, and learn to\u00a0relax properly.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><strong>Relaxing in\u00a0the sauna<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Going to a \u00a0sauna is\u00a0not only a\u00a0good way to\u00a0relax and escape from your everyday problems, it is yet \u00a0another way to\u00a0decrease water retention. According to\u00a0one article that was \u00a0published by\u00a0Harvard Medical School, sweating begins almost immediately. The\u00a0<strong>average person loses a\u00a0pint of\u00a0sweat during a\u00a0brief stay in\u00a0a\u00a0sauna<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><strong>Exercising<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Are \u00a0you doing \u00a0sedentary work? It is most probable you noticed that your legs and ankles are swollen when you come home.\u00a0<strong>Sitting too long\u00a0may cause some<\/strong><strong>\u00a0water retention\u00a0<\/strong>and its associated symptoms. In order to\u00a0avoid\u00a0it, you should make your life more active: as for example go\u00a0to\u00a0the gym, walk to\u00a0and from your job, run, or\u00a0go\u00a0to\u00a0a\u00a0swimming pool.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li><strong>Adjusting your eating habits<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Eating some \u00a0<strong>foods that are rich in\u00a0protein, potassium, vitamin\u00a0B6, and also magnesium can also help to\u00a0decrease water retention<\/strong>. These\u00a0kinds of\u00a0products\u00a0include: eggs, artichoke, mackerel, avocado, beets, celery, pineapple, asparagus, apricots, figs, and dark chocolate. And<strong>\u00a0it\u00a0is\u00a0really better to\u00a0avoid high salt food<\/strong>\u00a0like instant oatmeal, sports drinks, cottage cheese, cookies, or\u00a0canned veggies.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li><strong>Getting enough sleep<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Having a lack of\u00a0sleep will always negatively impacts our health and it\u00a0can\u00a0cause\u00a0serious medical conditions like obesity, heart disease, high blood pressure, and diabetes.\u00a0Researchers also\u00a0<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>confirm that bad sleep may also affect the sympathetic renal nerves<\/strong>\u00a0in\u00a0our kidneys, which is\u00a0known\u00a0<strong>to\u00a0regulate water balance<\/strong>.
