7. Get Better Sleep

Poor sleep affects kidney function and fluid balance. Aim for 7–9 hours of restful sleep each night to support your body’s natural rhythms.

⚠️ When to Be Concerned

If water retention is persistent, painful, or accompanied by swelling in the legs, hands, or face, consult a healthcare professional. It could signal an underlying health issue, like kidney, liver, or heart problems.

Final Thoughts

Water weight is a natural and normal part of the body’s fluid regulation system. While it can be frustrating, especially when you’re trying to manage your weight, remember: it’s not fat gain. With a few smart habits — like drinking more water, watching your salt, and moving your body — you can shed the excess in just a day or two.
