Re: ok one more, water retention
Ditto to the sodium intake. Watch it, read labels! Most prepared foods have far too much salt. I'm young (25) but my family has a history of high blood pressure, so I've learned to read labels and not salt my food excessively. When I do eat a lot of junk/prepared food I definitely notice a bloating effect. Just another reason to eat as much whole, fresh food as possible!
Also, definitely drink more water, especially if you've eaten a lot of salt.
Right now, after the holidays, I have that "bloated" look. I ate sooo bad on New Year's Eve!!! And the worst part is I'm telling myself now that the holidays are over I'll eat better, but the food is still in the house. Perhaps time to throw it out...
