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; it helps ease bloating, swelling and weight

gain before and after menstruation. Hydrozyne 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.
