How To Reduce Water Retention, Backed By Science

Although you may see lots of fad diets and supplements online, there are only a few ways to reduce water retention naturally, backed by science.

Often, especially when attempting to lose weight, water retention can result in the perception that weight loss is not occurring and make you look bloated, hiding your hard work!

Additionally, water retention can cause discomfort and dissatisfaction with how your body looks and feels, along with digestive issues and stomach ache.

In this article, I’ll describe some scientific techniques you can use to help reduce water retention and allow you to look and feel great, along with looking about 4 weeks leaner in just a few days!

Drink More Water To Reduce Water Retention

Interestingly, one of the best things you can do to reduce water retention is to actually drink more water – sounds odd, right?

Well, the human body is amazing and can adapt to just about any situation. Being dehydrated is no different.

When you restrict the amount of water you are consuming, a hormone called antidiuretic hormone is released from the pituitary gland in response to the amount of water available in the body (1).

When hydration levels are low, this hormone is released, reducing the amount of water that is excreted through urine, making it very concentrated with sodium and other waste products. This actually causes bloating!

When you ensure that you are hydrated, this hormone is restricted from being released, in order to excrete more water which is less concentrated, so you therefore retain less water.

In short, the body needs to maintain a balance of water and sodium; when one is higher in the body than the other, more of it needs to be removed from the body to maintain this balance.

Additionally, when hydration levels are low, the body can react by retaining the water you do happen to consume, in an attempt to balance this ratio. By ensuring that you consume enough water throughout the day, you can optimize this balance between sodium and water and reduce water retention.

Eat Less Salt to Reduce Water Retention

Despite the fact that sodium is essential for survival, having too much of it in your diet can create an imbalance, causing water retention.

As mentioned in the last section, having far too much salt in your diet can offset the balance between sodium and water.

When salt levels in the body rise, antidiuretic hormone is released in order to excrete less water yet more sodium. In doing so, the body will retain water in order to fix the imbalance (1).

Unsurprisingly, multiple studies have indicated that when sodium intake is increased, water retention begins to rise which can lead to unsightly bloat and discomfort (2, 3, 4).

In order to avoid water retention as a result of overconsumption of salt, monitor your intake and attempt to avoid heavily processed foods, which may have high amounts of sodium. As sodium and water work together and maintain a healthy balance, if you consume more sodium you should naturally consume more water to maintain an equilibrium.

Use a Natural Diuretic to Reduce Water Retention

Fortunately, when water retention gets too high, you can turn to natural supplements that have been scientifically shown to have diuretic properties.

Dandelion seems to be one of the most promising supplements for acting as a diuretic. In fact, one study indicated that when subjects ingested a supplement containing dandelion, frequency of urination increased significantly in relation to a placebo group (5).

Astragalus is a traditional Chinese medicine that has been used for years due to its natural diuretic properties.

One study showed that supplementing with Astragalus might, in fact, increase frequency of urination. Additionally, another revealed that supplementation of the herb may aid kidney function (6).

Lastly, caffeine and a popular testosterone-boosting supplement called Tribulus may also have diuretic properties to reduce water retention. A study on the supplement revealed that, when taken regularly, subjects increased the volume of water being excreted through urine, indicating a potential flushing effect of excess water aiding the issue of water retention (7).

Based on the evidence, use of these supplements might promote a diuretic effect, allowing you to excrete excess water and reduce water retention naturally.

Try Restricting Carbs to Reduce Water Retention

Did you know that carbohydrates increase the amount of water stored in your body?

When you consume carbohydrates, they are broken down into something called glucose, which is basically sugar in your blood. When blood glucose rises, it has a couple of different potential fates.

Firstly, this glucose can be immediately used for energy. Alternatively, this glucose can be stored in the muscle in a form called glycogen.

Interestingly, when glucose is transported into the muscle and stored as glycogen, this glycogen also brings water with it.

In fact, one study revealed that for every gram of glycogen stored, roughly 3 grams of water were stored in the muscle with it. If you’re consuming a large amount of carbs, that can equate to a large amount of water being stored (8).

It must, however, be noted that storing glycogen in the muscle along with water is not necessarily a bad thing. Having glycogen and water allows for a usable energy source along with proper hydration, but this can often lead to unsightly bloat and discomfort.

If other methods of dropping water retention fail to help, slightly restricting carbohydrates may help reduce the amount of water that your body is hanging on to.

How To Eliminate Water Retention Naturally

Water retention, while sometimes necessary, can often lead to discomfort and hide your hard work in the kitchen and gym!

Luckily there are a few techniques you can use to reduce the amount of water your body is retaining, as discussed above.

When water intake is low and sodium levels are high, antidiuretic hormone is released, which can cause retention of water to help balance out hydration and sodium levels in the body. Ensuring adequate water intake can help avoid the resultant water retention.

And lastly, using natural diuretic supplements such as dandelion or hibiscus and then restricting carbohydrate intake may be the best combination for you to reduce the amount of water your body is retaining.

Diet Beverages & Artificial Sweeteners

Diet Beverages & Artificial Sweeteners – The Scientific Truth (It May Surprise You)

There’s a hot debate whether diet beverages or soda and artificial sweeteners are healthy or dangerous.

It’s no wonder that so many people are confused (including myself) with some authorities recommending their intake over the high sugar versions, while a lot of other gurus state they are extremely unhealthy and a chemical storm that will wreck your health and cause disease.

As always, there isn’t one clear-cut answer and the issue is often debated based on ‘opinions’ or the latest meme that goes viral on FB rather than hard, honest well-designed research studies or controlled science.

In this article, I’ll dive into the honest research regarding diet soda and artificial sweeteners and whether or not they play a role (both positive and negative) in obesity and even health.

I guarantee some of the answers may surprise you. Here’s the bittersweet truth…

Diet Soda & Artificial Sweeteners – Good, Bad or the Devil?

Artificial sweeteners come in many different forms but the most popular typically include aspartame (Equal), sucralose (Splenda) and saccharin (Sweet’N Low).

The use of these sweeteners actually dates all the way back to the 1800s when saccharin was accidentally synthesized (1).

These artificial sweeteners have become a staple in our diets due to the attempt to reduce excess sugar intake and the fact they are far sweeter than actual sugar, while contributing very few or even no calories.

Despite the fact they can reduce sugar intake and lower total calorie intake, aiding in weight loss, many people still see them as unhealthy.

This is partly due to the belief that consuming them induces similar hormonal and brain responses to that of sugar, in addition to potentially being associated with increased risk of disease states such as cancer. But, what does the actual science say?

‘Negative’ Research on Diet Soda & Artificial Sweeteners

Anything is dangerous in the right dose, even water. Yep, that’s right … Here are two examples:

• Firstly, a 28 year old woman in the USA died after drinking six liters of water in a 3 hour period for a contest, dying later that day from water intoxication.
• In 2005 a study published by the New England Journal of Medicine found that around 16% of marathon runners developed some level of dangerous hyponatremia, or dilution of the blood caused by drinking too much water.

So, before we continue, my question to you is, just because water can kill you in high doses, does that mean that a normal intake, i.e. 2-4 liters per day is also unhealthy?

Clearly the answer is no, it’s basic logic. However, this EXACT principle applies to diet soda and sweeteners (see the example below), although most people (especially the ones who dislike it) tend to ignore this fact.

When it comes to the limited research regarding human subjects and artificial sweeteners, there is some correlative data (i.e. weak data that draws conclusions over years) indicating that consuming artificial sweeteners may increase the risk of developing metabolic syndromes, leading to increased risk of diabetes and obesity (2, 3).

Unfortunately as with any research, the devil is in the details. Along with artificial sweeteners, the study also found associations with typical western diet staples such as meat (which we know is healthy) and fried foods.

To conclude that artificial sweeteners are a reason for obesity based on this study is speculative at best, since there are so many other factors that may be contributing.

In essence, there is in fact research associating artificial sweeteners with an increased risk of obesity, but it’s not a direct relationship. It’s a relationship confounded by many other factors that certainly contribute to obesity and negative health, rather than simply consuming artificial sweeteners.

In the world of research and science, these types of studies are often ignored and not classed as ‘real, controlled research’.

Additionally, there is some negative research regarding artificially sweetened beverages and cancer. Although there is one catch. The studies are done using rats (but again, all the people who hate diet soda or sweeteners tend to ignore this fact).

Of course, the big issue with these studies is that they simply point us in the right direction from a biological standpoint, but not direct cause and effect; more often than not, what happens in a rat does not translate to humans.

Often the effects of substances vary widely when given to humans compared to rats. Artificial sweeteners are one of these cases.

Despite the fact that some research has indicated that artificial sweeteners like aspartame are linked to cancer in mice, the doses which would be required to do so in humans would be astronomical.

For instance, the FDA has set safe daily consumption of substances like aspartame to 50 milligrams per kilogram of body weight (4, 5).

For a 90 kg (200 lb) individual that would be the equivalent of consuming 25 cans of artificially sweetened soda per day and would still be considered within a safe range.

Diet Soda & Artificial Sweeteners Cause Weight Gain – False Science?

At its most fundamental level, it’s impossible for artificial sweeteners to directly contribute to weight gain; it’s basic science and the laws of thermodynamics.

In fact, artificial sweeteners are often used in order to reduce calorie intake and thus help reduce body weight. However, many people still insist that artificial sweeteners induce an insulin response, similar to what happens when you consume sugar in one form or another.

As a result of this insulin spike, it is theorized this leads to a metabolic disorder called insulin resistance, which means that insulin isn’t able to do its job of removing glucose from the blood and storing it in various tissues of the body.

In theory, when this occurs, it can lead to further disease states such as type 2 diabetes and obesity.

Unfortunately for proponents of this incorrect theory, research has determined that artificial sweeteners such as aspartame don’t induce an insulin spike, despite claims.

Even if they did, a small insulin spike would not match that of an insulin spike from regular sugar, soda, ice cream, pizza etc. It’s these foods consumed over years which cause weight gain and insulin resistance, not sweetener or diet soda (6, 7, 8, 9).

Additionally, in a groundbreaking study on evaluating the use of artificial sweeteners versus just water when attempting to lose weight, the researchers revealed that consumption of artificial sweeteners was actually associated with greater weight loss and a greater ability to keep the weight off after the diet (10).

It’s very likely that consuming artificially sweetened beverages such as diet soda may satisfy sweet cravings without providing the additional calories, leading to weight loss.

Does this mean that diet soda is better than water? No, but it doesn’t appear to be worse in sensible moderation (just like water). Because it has no calories, it simply can’t cause weight gain, it’s physically and biologically impossible.

So What’s The Conclusion About Diet Soda & Artificial Sweeteners?

As it turns out, there probably isn’t any issue with consuming artificially sweetened beverages such as diet soda on a regular basis in moderation.

Research that has shown negative effects is fairly weak, most of it being done in rats not humans and even that has many other factors affecting the outcome, making it impossible to blame artificial sweeteners (2).

Furthermore, other research showing associations with artificial sweeteners and cancer is carried out on rats and still very early. Next, these findings are done at crazy doses that equate to say 200 cans of diet soda per day, so they are far from realistic or unbiased (4).

Lastly, research on artificial sweeteners for weight loss actually indicates a beneficial effect overall, such as reduced body weight, rather than the commonly held misbelief that they lead to weight gain. If you know even the basics of fat loss and metabolism you will clearly understand how it’s physically impossible for a zero calorie product to cause weight gain.

Despite outlandish claims from people with unbiased agendas or the ‘clean eating gurus’, artificially sweetened diet sodas are safe for you to consume and even advised if your goal is to reduce calories and body weight.

Take Home Key Points on Diet Soda & Artificial Sweeteners

Firstly, the key point is to understand that there’s not any real, strong research in a controlled setting to show ill health from a sensible dose of artificial sweeteners in humans.

Sadly, like many aspects of nutrition, it’s very easy for people with hidden agendas to twist the research or churn out random ‘facts’ that have no real evidence at all. Of course, any new meme or video always goes viral, but it doesn’t mean it’s true.

Now, am I advising you to consume artificial sweeteners or diet soda? No, but equally, should you not consume it and avoid it, if you do enjoy it? No, absolutely not.

Like everything, it depends on you. If you love it, then go ahead, it probably will help you consume fewer calories, it may reduce cravings and may actually aid in hydration (remember it’s around 98% water).

If you think that diet soda or artificial sweeteners are bad or unhealthy because they’re not natural, then you should maybe spend some time reading the science to become less biased. Of course, I will be the first to say we should focus on natural whole foods 80% of the time, but drinking the odd diet soda or using a normal intake of artificial sweeteners is also perfectly fine.

In summary, diet soda or artificial sweeteners are perfectly ok in a moderate dose, just like water. If you still want to say it’s unhealthy because rats got ill from taking in the equivalent of 200 servings per day, well you should probably not drink water either because 200 servings of water would have killed the rats far quicker than the artificial sweetener.

As with everything, remember to actually check the research and don’t trust the internet fitness/health gurus who don’t understand or even know how to read a research study…

LOSE WEIGHT WITHOUT TRYING

The 10-Day Sugar Detox Diet (To Reset Your Body and Brain)

If sweet is sweet then what is sugar? Diabetes, cancer, dementia, depression, acne, infertility, heart disease. Doesn’t sound too sweet.

According to some researches, the average American consumes about 152 pounds of sugar a day.The average American man weighs 195.5 pounds, the average American woman weighs 167lbs. In the 1960s the average American man weighed in at 167lbs and the average American woman at 141lbs.

The Big 10

It is very interesting that, more than 600 people tried out Mark Hyman M.D’s diet, and they lost 4000 pounds in 10 days. The question that everyone should ask themselves is, when was the last time you lost 7 pounds in less than two weeks? And how hard did you work? This diet promises no cravings, no bland foods or boring diet, no deprivation-simply rewire the way you think about food. The diet was created by Dr. Hyman to be full of sugar addiction-reversing foods that will reset your body and brain and let cut sugar from your diet and regain your life.

10-Day Detox Diet

Here are the top 10 big ideas for detoxing from sugar and refined carbs that will work for you in just 10 days.

Decide To Detox

Cold Turkey

An alcoholic cannot have “just one drink”, the same is for you. You just have to stop. Stop eating all forms of sugar, all flour products, and all artificial sweeteners because they slow metabolism, spike cravings and store fat. For 10 days you will avoid any foods that come in a box, package, or can that have a label. Instead stik to real, whole, fresh foods.

Don’t Drink Your Calories

Liquid sugar calories are worse than solid food with sugar or flour, according to Doctor Hyman. It is proven that, one can of soda a day increases a kid’s chance of being obese by 60 percent and a woman’s chance of type 2 diabetes by 80 percent.

Protein Power

Protein helps balance blood sugar and insulin levels by being a “carb-free” source of energy. Start the day with whole farm eggs or a protein shake. Use nuts, seeds, eggs, fish, chicken, or grass-fed meat for protein at every meal. Protein helps you stay fuller longer because it breaks down more slowly while delivering the energy we need. 4-6 ounces – about the size of your palm – is the average serving size.

Unlimited (Good) Carbs

You can eat all of veggies-just not the starchy ones like potatoes, sweet potatoes, winter squash or beets. But feel free you eat as many greens, broccoli, cauliflower, kale, asparagus, peppers, green beans, mushrooms, zucchini, tomatoes, and artichokes you like for 10 days.

Fight Sugar With Fat

Fat makes you feel and look full. It also balances blood sugar and is a necessary part of your cellular structure.

Prepare For Emergencies

A maze of fast food joints and vending machines will have anyone’s head spinning, especially when blood sugar levels are dropping. Dr. Hyman weighs in:

“You need an Emergency Life Pak. I have one with me all the time, filled with protein, good fats, and good snacks so I never have to make a bad choice. Here’s what’s in mine: Packets of Artisana nut butters and coconut butter, almonds, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, salmon jerky or turkey jerky, a can of wild salmon or sardines and unsweetened wild blueberries.”

Distress or De-Stress?

The stress hormone, cortisol, makes you feel hungry, and it causes belly fat storage, and can lead to type 2 diabetes, taking deep breaths activates the vagus nerve which shifts metabolism from fat storage to fat burning, and quickly moves you out of your stress state. Just follow Dr. Hyman’s Five Deep Breaths exercise:

“Simply take five slow deep breaths – in to the count of five, out to the count of five. Five times. That’s it. Do this before every meal. Watch what happens!”

Douse Inflammation

The two hidden food sensitivities that most people have, are gluten and dairy. Most people crave these allergens. They may be tough to quit, even for just 10 days, but give it a shot and you’ll see you have renewed energy and relief from cravings.

Sound Sleep

College students were deprived of just 2 of the recommended 8 hours of sleep. This led to a rise in hunger hormones, a decrease in appetite-suppressing hormones and huge cravings for refined sugar and carbs. When you don’t sleep you look for energy, and reach for high-sugar products that give you a boost, and a crash. Sleep is the best way to ensure cravings are kept at bay.

Reduce Your Risk of Cancer, Diabetes, and High Blood Pressure By Drinking Water in This Way

Japanese have a crazy habit of drinking water right after they wake up in the morning. Well, it may not be that crazy, as science backs up this ‘trend.’

You can read more about the power of water and the best way to use it further in this article.

According to Japanese medical society, water treatment works well against stubborn ailments and modern diseases.

Moreover, water is the only remedy and cure for headaches, aches, cardiovascular issues, arthritis, tachycardia, epilepsy, obesity, bronchitis, asthma, TB, meningitis, kidney and urine malfunction, vomiting, gastritis, diarrhea, piles, diabetes, constipation, vision problems, womb, cancer, menstrual disorders, and last but not least, ear, nose and throat issues.

Water treatment

1. Drink 4 glasses of water, 160 ml each, right after you wake up. You may want to do this before you brush your teeth.
2. Brush your teeth and rinse your oral cavity as you usually do. Do not drink anything for the next 45 minutes.
3. Have a normal breakfast, and drink your favorite juice or tea. Plain water works well, too.
4. Do not drink or eat anything for 2 hours after you finish your meals.
5. If you cannot manage drinking 4 glasses of water in the morning, start off with a glass or two, and increase this amount gradually.
6. Water treatment helps both healthy and sick individuals. It helps you enjoy a healthier life.

Here is the proper duration of your water treatment, depending on the ailment you are treating:

1. Hypertension – 30 days
2. Gastritis – 10 days
