Bloating and Detoxifying
Bloating refers to the sensation of fullness or discomfort in the abdomen, often accompanied by visible swelling.
It is commonly caused by factors such as:
Overeating or eating too quickly
Digestive issues like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
Hormonal fluctuations, especially during menstruation
Food intolerances (e.g., dairy or gluten)
Gas buildup or constipation
On the other hand, water retention (also known as edema) occurs when the body holds on to excess fluid, leading to swelling in areas like the hands, feet, ankles, and abdomen. This condition can be caused by:
Hormonal changes
Excess salt intake or dehydration
Poor circulation
Medications
Kidney or heart issues
While both bloating and water retention are often temporary, they can cause discomfort and make you feel sluggish or heavy.
