Fluid Retention: Causes, Diagnosis, and Management

Question
what is the best way to get rid of fluid retention?

Answer
That depends entirely on what's causing it.
First and foremost a person should be checked for heart failure, kidney function and liver function.
If all organs are in working order, fluid retention should not be an issue.
Frequently a sodium restriction is recommended in all of these cases. Many people consume thousands of milligrams of sodium daily, largely from the added sodium in packaged, processed and fast foods. Choosing more fresh foods and eating more meals prepared at home is a good way to keep sodium intake down to recommended levels, 1500 to 2300 milligrams a day.
