Hey guys, I’ve just been wondering about this for some time now and I’m curious if anyone has any insight. I know that excessive levels of cortisol will cause water rentention. I’m curious as to why this happens or what the purpose is? Or is it just a mere side effect of the high amount of cortisol?
I had that problem recently.
I lie down in bed and soon I gotta go to pee like crazy. Also, hold pressure on some area of skin for 2-3 minutes and if you see “dent” when you remove finger - tou have water retention. Usually tissue goes back right away.
This would happen rarley, it would also happen on days when I’m not drinking yoghurt I realized.
I don’t know the cause of water retention, but yoghurt prevents it, garlic too, also bananas and some other foods. Those will make you pee out that water.
I’m definitley not overweight and I seriously have no idea why it happened to me since I’m also not intaking lots of salt, but now I atleast know how to prevent it from happening.
