2. Exercise regularly.
Exercise is vital for healthy circulation, without which the blood flow and pressure in your capillaries can affect fluid retention in your lower limbs. Medical News Today recommends raising your legs several times a day to avoid this, and exercising regularly. Support stockings can also be useful, particularly among older people or those with varicose veins.
3. Take magnesium.
This important mineral is involved in more than 300 enzymatic reactions that keep the body functioning healthily, according to Healthline. Studies have shown that magnesium supplements can reduce water retention in women with premenstrual symptoms , also known as PMS. Healthy sources of magnesium are almonds, whole grains and leafy green vegetables, and good-quality, dark chocolate.
