Get rid of edema-type obesity! Drink wax apple fresh orange juice

[Edema] Main fruits and vegetables for edema: watermelon, cucumber, bell pepper

Generally speaking, edema can be divided into two categories: "physiological" and "pathological". Physiological edema is mainly caused by factors such as eating too salty food and lack of exercise. A diet high in salt will reduce the kidney's ability to secrete urine, causing excessive accumulation of body fluids and the formation of edema. Standing or sitting for long periods of time at work may also lead to poor blood circulation and lower limb edema. Pathological edema is mostly caused by serious diseases.

In addition, avoid eating foods with high sodium content, such as pickled foods, canned tomato juice, miso, etc., which will cause water retention in the body and lead to edema.

Nutrients needed to eliminate edema

Potassium

Potassium has a diuretic effect, which can eliminate excess water from the body and maintain the balance of water inside and outside cells; a lack of potassium can cause edema. Foods rich in potassium are mostly vegetables and fruits, such as spinach, asparagus, bell peppers, bananas, papaya, kiwi, tomatoes, oranges, etc.

Since potassium is a water-soluble mineral, it is easily lost during cooking or soaking. It is best to consume it raw, such as making vegetable and fruit juice.

Vitamin B1

Vitamin B1 deficiency can easily cause swelling of the hands and feet. Because vitamin B1 is easily destroyed during the heating process and is easily soluble in water, people who often eat fried foods, processed foods and fast food are prone to vitamin B1 deficiency. If you want to supplement vitamin B1, you can eat more green vegetables such as bok choy, spinach, rapeseed, and whole grains.

Vitamin B6

Vitamin B6 is a natural diuretic that can promote urination and improve urination difficulties. Its deficiency can cause anemia and increase water accumulation. It is recommended to obtain it from foods such as yeast, wheat germ, cabbage, tomatoes, oranges, and bananas.

Sitting in the office for long periods of time, lack of exercise, a preference for salty foods, overeating that damages the stomach and kidneys, and long-term illness and medication that damages the liver and kidneys can all cause poor water metabolism and form edema.

Doctor's Tips

It is recommended to exercise more, eat a light diet, eat at regular times and in regular amounts, and avoid taking over-the-counter medicines that increase the burden on the liver and kidneys. In terms of food ingredients, you can choose more winter melon, red beans, coix seeds, corn silk, cucumbers, etc., which all have good diuretic effects.
