A member asked:

I woke up this morning and my whole body is a little swollen and i gained 3 lbs. in the last 4 days. what could cause this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Water: Your body is collecting water in the form of edema and it is a reflection of poor metabolism. In fact, if you have any heart or nervous system symptoms this could be severe vitamin b1 and/or magnesium deficiency.
