Edema is an excessive accumulation of fluid in the body and can occur on both the face and body, carrying excess weight and bags under the eyes. Fortunately, sometimes you can solve the problem yourself by changing your diet and adding the right foods.
Parsley
Parsley is one of the best liquids for removing fluids. Otherwise, this greenery does not lose its useful properties even when frozen, dried and stored for a long time. Nutritionists recommend adding to salads and making a special infusion: a liter of warm water with 150 grams of parsley, which should be drunk throughout the day.
Lens
Salt-free buckwheat porridge effectively removes toxins and excess fluid from the body, and also improves the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract. Experts recommend not to cook cereals, but pour them into boiling water and leave them overnight – with this heat treatment, lentils retain their beneficial properties.
Pepper
Thanks to the high content of potassium, red pepper quickly relieves swelling and removes salt, which contributes to fluid retention in the body. By the way, it is recommended to eat this vegetable not only raw but also baked.
