What causes women's swelling?

The main reason for women's whole body edema is poor blood circulation. In addition, there are excess toxins and waste water in the body that cannot be discharged in time, which will cause subcutaneous edema. At the same time, drinking a lot of water while sleeping and sitting for a long time can also cause edema. For women who experience systemic edema, they should pay attention to the supplementation of trace elements and pay attention to salt intake.

What is edema all over the body?

1. Poor blood circulation causes excess waste water and toxins in the body to not be discharged in time. Water is retained in the capillaries and even seeps back into the skin, causing swelling and edema. This type of edema is prone to occur in people who are accustomed to drinking a lot of water before going to bed, standing for long periods of time, sitting for long periods of time, staying up late, and those who are born with poor blood circulation and metabolism.

2. Edema caused by improper daily diet is considered malnutrition edema. Excessive intake of salt and fat in the diet will affect the excretion of water and toxins in the body, thereby causing fat accumulation; and a single diet structure makes food intake nutritionally unbalanced, causing the body to lack certain minerals and trace elements that are beneficial to metabolism, aggravating edema.

3. Women are naturally prone to edema, especially when they have endocrine disorders and abnormal hormone secretion, which will hinder the body from excreting excess water. For example, excessive secretion of insulin, corticosteroids, and the female hormones progesterone and estradiol can induce edema-type obesity. In addition, drug abuse can also increase the incidence of edema-type obesity. Some prescription medications, such as birth control pills and pain relievers, can also change your hormone levels and hinder the excretion of water.

How to get rid of edema

1. Press the area around the eye sockets with your fingertips, press each position for 5 seconds, and repeat 3 times. Because of the complex relationship between Qi, blood, and meridians, many acupoints are formed on the face and body. They can reflect whether the Qi and blood are flowing smoothly. Regular stimulation and pressing of these acupoints can improve the function of internal organs and eliminate edema.

2. After breakfast, drink a cup of pure black coffee. After about 30 minutes to 1 hour, you will see that the swelling on your face disappears. The caffeine contained in black coffee has the effect of drainage and diuresis, and accelerates the consumption of body calories, so it can quickly eliminate facial swelling, especially eye swelling.

3. Job's tears can accelerate metabolism and promote diuresis. Drink a glass of Job's tears water every morning and evening, and you will find that the edema on your face is gone the next day.

4. Alcohol is the main culprit that causes facial swelling and sagging skin in women. At the same time, alcohol is also very high in calories. A small glass of beer has 100 calories. After a few glasses, it is equivalent to eating several bowls of rice.

As can be seen from the above, edema all over the body may be caused by poor blood circulation or improper diet. For example, eating too much at night will affect the body's water content the next day, which will cause edema. Women are particularly prone to edema, so if edema occurs, it must be eliminated in time to avoid affecting your image. If there are no major problems with your body, you can ignore it.
