  2. When Women Experience Bloating • Many women experience bloating not only during their menstrual cycle, but throughout the rest of the month as well. But this bloating feels a little different, and fortunately there is something you can do to clear out any H2O retention.

  3. Drink more water • Although it sounds odd to put into your body exactly what you want to get rid of, this is actually a key factor to reducing the water weight. • Water keeps you hydrated and is the only fluid that fully allows you to purge the extra sodium. • Staying away from caffeine and alcohol is imperative (and most commonly, carbonated drinks, since these fizzy bubbles are often a major cause of bloating).

  4. Cut out excess sodium (and sugar) • Salty foods can cause the body to hold on to any fluids that you consume, and furthermore, your kidneys hold onto the water that is in your body. • Too much sugar causes your body to produce too much insulin, which ultimately doesn’t allow your body to get rid of the extra salt. • Try to incorporate more fruits and vegetables into your diet.

  5. Start sweating • While perspiring may not be the most pleasant thing to experience, exercise and excretion of sweat is a great way to rid your body of extra water weight. • Not only will your body sweat out any additional water, but it will also sweat away the extra sodium as well. • Incorporating exercise into your daily routine is a great way to reduce that bloat.

  6. Be cautious of diuretics • If you’re using this method to try to get rid of water retention, start slowly. • Cranberry juice or lemon in warm water (twice a day) is a great way to begin. • Many people use caffeine as a way to get rid of water weight, but in actuality, you can lose iron and calcium if you drink too much, so this is not a recommended method of losing H2O retention.
