Don't Let Water Weight Weigh You Down

Are you exercising regularly but still feeling overweight and
heavy because of water retention? Don't worry. This is common
for many women who exercise regularly. Weight from water
retention can actually make a woman look and feel a lot heavier
than she actually is. Thus weight undermines the success of your
workout program and can be discouraging when you are trying to
establish a successful routine because you can’t see the results
you want.

Have you noticed that when you exercise when your menstrual cycle
is near or has already started you are more likely to retain more
water in the abdominal area? Like water balloons, your cells are
filled with water. A high-sodium diet, a change in eating
patterns and an increase in hormones is what cause menstrual
bloating and water retention. According to doctors, women are at
higher risks for water retention because of the rise and fall of
hormones that occur during the menstrual cycle. When a woman has
a lot of water retention, her hands, feet, legs and arms can
swell. This swelling can also cause pain and prevent her from
doing her normal activities. Water retention can also cause
headaches and back pain.

A woman's diet and eating patterns can have some effect on water
retention. In her book, Once a Month, Dr. Dalton writes that not
eating for several hours causes a drop in blood sugar. This
causes the body to release adrenaline, which signals the body to
let go of some of its stored sugar from cells to balance out the
blood sugar. When sugar is taken from the cells, they fill up
with water; this is what causes the bloating, weight gain and
painful symptoms associated with water retention. In women who
experience water retention, their bodies reach the point when
they release adrenaline a lot sooner than the bodies of other
women.

To prevent water retention during or after exercise, eat before
exercising. Try eating something light such as yogurt or fruit
before or during your normal exercise routine. Avoid foods high
in fat, sugars and salt since they can actually encourage water
retention.

The amount of water that you drink before, during and after
exercise can also keep you from retaining water. Water is not
only essential in dissolving and transporting nutrients, it also
helps in digestion, assimilation, metabolism and waste removal.
Water is also important for weight loss because it flushes out
all of the toxins from the body. When you are dehydrated, the
water that you drink remains in the body, so the more water you
drink, the more toxins are released. Out with the bad and in
with the good. Women suffering from water retention can also
use Hydrozyne(tm); it helps ease bloating, swelling and weight
gain before and after menstruation. Hydrozyne(tm) is available
at Amazon and at http://www.BODeStore.com.

In conclusion, many women feel bloated and heavier after
exercising because of water retention. By taking a few basic
steps such as eating a light meal before working out and drinking
plenty of water to flush out toxins, water retention can be
controlled and possibly eliminated.
