A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fluid retention: Are you very overweight? Every eight pounds of fat tissue contain a pint of water. Other causes of fluid retention include certain medications,and disorders of the heart,kidneys and liver. Your physician who knows you best can advise you better,however. Don't add salt to your foods or cooking as there is already plenty of sodium in many foods.
