Question 7

why do we put on water weight when we eat too much?

Accepted Answer

Depends on food: Typically, if you take in too much salt, the water tends to follow the salt intake, with resultant increase in water weight. This can be stored in the body tissues. Some people are quite sensitive to salt intake regarding swelling.

This can also be seen in people who when they take in too much salt, their blood pressure raises - similar reason- more fluid in the bloodstream.

It can be done by bioimpedance machine, available at gyms, doctor offices and the lower quality to consumers for cheap, or using DEXA scan or under water weight.

Question 9

can hawthorne extract help you to release water weight?

Accepted Answer

Do not bother: I am not sure what hawthorne extract does. However for good health you do not want to get rid of "water weight" This is a belief that can get you in trouble. Some people will retain fluid around the period time but unless this is you I would not do this. If you are retaining too much fluid I would then see your doc to make sure you are not in heart failure. Skip hawthorne and just diet

Question 10

i lost 2.4 pounds of water weight in one day. is this normal?

Accepted Answer

Not normal : Are you taking water pills? Are you having diarrhea ? Or vomiting? This is  a rapid loss that should not continue. But if you feel lightheaded when standing, or faint when you get up, you may need the fluid lost to be replaced. If its bad enough, this may have to be done with intravenous fluids.
