Health and fitness go hand-in-hand. They are so intricately

related to each other that even a small disturbance in one tends

to directly affect the other! Health implies a lifestyle which is

carried out in a balanced way and is aimed at leading a

disease-free life. Fitness refers to the state of your body and

mind wherein both are stress-free and relaxed. Fitness is

directly reflected in the way you look-- your body shape and

size.

All of us dream of getting a beautiful figure. But often, due to

over-indulgence and a sudden increase in calories our body may

bulge in some areas due to an over accumulation of fat. This

results in " cellulite " that is often stubborn and slow to react

to any kind of treatment.

Many believe that becoming slim will decrease their weight. It is

not true in all cases. Slimmer people can sometimes weigh more

than apparently larger people due to the weight of their bones.

On the other hand, even those who are on crash diets or other

forms of weight-reduction programs can show an increase in

weight. How and why does this happen?

The answer to this question is simple-when you follow severe diet

restrictions, your body is depleted of fluids and water too. But,

your body is smart and it acts quickly to break down

carbohydrates from all parts of your body and protein from your

muscles and even replenishes some amount of water lost earlier.

This condition of your body is referred to as " water weight " .

It is important to know real weight from water weight.

The reason why water weight can be misleading is that it is not a

permanent condition of your body. It is just that your system

holds on to water and other fluids so that they are not

completely drained off especially when you are undergoing weight

loss rather rapidly.

Moreover, water retention happens in the cells that retain water

and other fluids to make good the loss caused by a sudden

decrease in your weight. So, don't be weighed down by your water

weight. Look for ways to enable your body to regain its normal

water balance.

* Firstly, to tackle water weight, drink as much water and other

fluids as you can so that your body gets a free flow of liquids

and there is no need to collect them in some parts of your body.

Water loss and regain are continuous, automatic processes.

* Next, minimize your salt and sodium intake as these contribute

to water retention in your body.

* The most common treatment or supplements for combating water

weight are drugs called " diuretics " . The function of these

drugs is to flush out water and other fluid content that is

retained by the cells and thereby remove that mysterious increase

in your weight! These include chemical diuretic like potassium.

Also dandelion, in a dose of 10-20 drops of tincture helps in

flushing out excess water and fluids.

* Intake of coffee, black tea, celery, etc. needs to be reduced

to avoid water retention in your body. Instead, you can include

watermelon, grapes, cucumber, and asparagus in your diet.

* Dong quai consists of essential oils that relax your muscles,

intestines, and brain. Using essential oils like juniper,

rosemary, germanium, etc. in several applications like bath,

massage, inhalation, and vaporizers helps to regulate water

retention in your body.

Try to understand the amount of water your body is retaining, and

treat it in a suitable way. Don't get side-tracked by an

unexpected gain or stall in your weight loss program, as you

preserver that stubborn water weight will eventually leave.

Hydrozyne is a water weight reduction supplement that can be

a valuable weapon in your arsenal to fight water weight gain. It

is available from the Bodestore at http://www.bodestore.com and

Amazon.com .
