water retention advice

[hadescrossfit]

Hi everyone, would you mind giving me like a short of food to consume daily to to reduce water retention.

although salt isn't necessarily bad for you due to it being a necessary electrolyte/nutrient we need, it will cause water retention

the main problem is people eat a lot of salty foods, which are awful for them. things like processed meats, processed foods, etc are loaded with tons of salt

Somebody correct me if im wrong plz, but i believe consuming too many carbs can can cause some water retention as well.

As per a post in my tips thread what some call 'water retention' is them fooling themselves when they have a little fat.

Water retention is usually from not drinking enough water.

Water is the most precious resource in the human body. If you restrict it, it'll hold onto it as a defence mechanism.

Strive to drink 5-6L of clean water each day as a minimum
