Swelling during pregnancy is quite common. Especially dangerous is fluid retention in tissues in the second half of pregnancy, so it is important to adjust your diet so as to reduce swelling or prevent their appearance.
Instructions
Step 1
In order not to swell during pregnancy, control the amount of fluid consumed and secreted. If much less is released, then reduce the amount of table salt. Without this limitation, it is useless to reduce the volume of fluid you drink, since it is the salt that contributes to the appearance of edema.
Step 2
Remember, liquid isn't just about water or tea. Soups, juicy fruits and vegetables should also be taken into account when calculating the amount of fluid consumed. If the fruits are very juicy, such as pears, grapes, watermelons, then their mass can be added in pure form to the volume of liquid that was drunk per day.
Step 3
When thinking about how to reduce the volume of fluid, keep in mind that tea or compote is of particular value for the body of a woman and a child, while the pulp of the fruit contains the necessary vitamins.
Step 4
Try to reduce the consumption of pure salt, as there is enough of it in ready-made products of factory production: cheeses, sausages, bread. If you don't like the taste of dishes without salt, add it to the plate already, and not when preparing the product.
Step 5
Exclude salting, sauerkraut, herring, smoked meats from the menu. They not only contain a lot of salt, but also provoke thirst.
Step 6
Do not try to completely abandon water, it is necessary for metabolic processes. Even with severe edema, at least a liter is required. Drink only clear water; carbonated drinks do not quench your thirst, nor do too sweet ones.
