We all have those days when we wake up and feel a little bloated. The face seems swollen, the legs are swollen, the stomach is bloated.
What to do if your face and body suddenly become puffy and swollen, says Womans World.
There are some fairly simple techniques that will allow you to lose about a size in one day.
How to get rid of a double chin
To get rid of a double chin, lie on your back and place thinly sliced slices of raw potato on your neck for 5 minutes. Research in the field of food and agricultural immunology confirms that the anti-inflammatory compounds in potatoes instantly strengthen sagging skin, and enzymes found in the flesh of potatoes begin to eliminate water retention within minutes.
How to remove swelling of fingers
The summer heat and humidity can make your fingers swell up so much that you can't put on (or take off!) your favorite rings. To relieve swelling, drink a drink infused with 5 slices of fresh ginger and a generous wedge of lemon. Citrus juice acts as a natural diuretic, and ginger's digestive acids quickly flush out toxins that clog the lymphatic system and cause swollen limbs.
How to relieve bloating caused by chronic constipation
Many gastrointestinal complaints are caused by inflammation in the gut and, like inflammation in any part of the body, this can cause bloating. Fortunately, an old remedy – compresses with castor oil – has been proven to relieve inflammation in a matter of minutes.
In one study of patients in nursing homes, researchers found that castor oil compresses significantly eased the discomfort caused by chronic constipation, even in those who had had it for more than ten years. Simply apply castor oil to your abdomen and cover with a warm, damp washcloth. Then wrap plastic wrap around your waist and relax for 10 minutes or more. The result: relief from gastrointestinal discomfort and a waist reduction of up to 5 cm.
How to relieve bloating caused by irritable bowel syndrome
Research published in Digestive Disease and Sciences provides further evidence that peppermint can significantly reduce bloating. Indeed, it is more effective in relieving unpleasant symptoms than antispasmodics, tricyclic antidepressants and fiber. One way it works is that compounds in peppermint leaves increase the production of bile in the intestines, while speeding up the stomach's ability to digest food before it can produce the gases in the stomach that are responsible for bloating. A study published in the journal Phytotherapy Research suggests that a sip of peppermint tea in the evening will help offset the side effects of a large meal and help you sleep longer and more deeply.
How to reduce bloating from gas
Simply chewing half a spoonful of cumin seeds after each meal can significantly relieve gas and associated bloating. A 2019 review of available research on cumin seeds found that the ancient folk remedy has extremely beneficial effects on the gastrointestinal tract thanks to its healing array of fatty acids as well as unique essential oils. The study also found some evidence that cumin seeds are beneficial for fat loss as well as water loss. It contains mild diuretic compounds and also destroys gas-forming intestinal yeast and bacteria.
How to get rid of swollen bones
If swollen ankles make it uncomfortable to walk in strappy sandals or enjoy a summer walk, try this: While reading a book on the sofa, stretch your toes at the beginning of each chapter, then flex your foot, repeating this 5 times.
A study published in the European Journal of Applied and Occupational Physiology suggests that this simple action removes stagnant fluid and produces better results than wearing compression socks.
How to reduce swelling of the whole body
When researchers in Brazil gave 900 mg of a wild herb known as horsetail to 36 healthy people and measured its diuretic effects, they found that it helped flush water without depleting the body by losing healthy electrolytes. Scientists suggest that the antioxidants and mineral salts in horsetail increase the rate of water recycling by the kidneys and thus help to get rid of swelling from head to toe.
But, of course, before trying any of these methods on yourself, you should consult your doctor, determine whether you have any contraindications, and find out whether the swelling and bloating of the abdomen is not a sign of the disease and does not need it is treatment.
