Prevent fluid retention with home remedies
- One of the most effective home remedies to combat fluid retention is, oddly enough, to drink water.

If we drink water regularly, it will be much easier for our body to eliminate excess fluid through urine.
- Juices are a powerful homemade alternative to avoid annoying and uncomfortable fluid retention. A very recurring option consists of using the following ingredients: an orange, an apple, a quarter of a bulb of chopped fennel and water. We just have to wash and split the orange in two to correctly extract its juice and then chop the apple together with the fennel. Once these steps have been completed, we introduce the ingredients into a blender or blender. This remedy not only contributes to the elimination of excess fluids in our body, but also significantly improves digestion.

In addition to extraordinarily promoting blood circulation, it is an effective diuretic and cleanser capable of acting conveniently in the case of suffering from the mentioned anomaly. It can be easily prepared at home as an infusion or taken directly in capsules.
