Salt is one of the major culprits which aggravates oedema. Do try to avoid papads, pickles, salted snacks like wafers and processed and preserved foods as they have a high sugar or salt content which can cause water retention.
You don't have to cut down your salt intake drastically, especially without consulting your gynaecologist or nutritionist, as you should be consuming at least ½ teaspoon of salt everyday to maintain optimal electrolyte balance in your blood (i.e. the sodium and potassium balance).
Don't take any diuretic tablets to relieve you. These will only make the kidneys produce more urine, in the process depleting your body fluids. These tablets are not advised, as they may be harmful to both you and your baby.
Instead include fruits like papaya and pineapple which have natural diuretic properties and will help you cope with not only oedema but also constipation.
So indulge in the delicious Pineapple Passion and Tropical Surprise.
