Can people with edema drink more water? How much water should people with edema drink every day?

People with edema type physique are particularly obvious when they get up in the morning. They also gain weight easily. So can people with edema type physique drink more water? How much water should people with edema type physique drink every day?

It is recommended that people with edema drink less water. Edema is caused by a large amount of water stored in the body, which is caused by abnormal kidney function. Drinking too much water will increase the burden on the heart. Patients with heart failure cannot drink a lot of water at once; too much salt will cause a burden on the kidneys, especially at night. Whether you look fat or not has nothing to do with drinking water and eating salt. Healthy people who pay attention to replenishing water will only make them look more watery and moisturized.

It is okay to drink 1000 to 1500 ml of water every day. The amount of water you drink every day should be kept appropriate, and people with edema should drink a little boiled water in multiple times every day. If you feel bloated after drinking too much water, it means that your body has difficulty metabolizing water. Don't drink too much water at once.

Lack of exercise will cause water to accumulate inside the body. High temperatures make us sweat easily, and the salt and electrolytes in sweat reduce the concentration of body fluids. Although we drink water to replenish water, the replenished water does not contain salt, and the water can easily penetrate into other tissues of the body, causing edema.

To make barley tea, select and wash barley, drain the water, put it in a pan, turn on a low fire, and slowly roast the barley to bring out its fragrance. Then wash the wolfberry, put in the roasted barley, pour in boiling water, and soak for 5 to 10 minutes. According to personal preference, you can add hot ingredients such as cooked red beans to the brewed tea.
