Taking too Much Salt
When the body takes in too much salt through food, the kidney will have a much more challenging time dealing with fluids. As a result, there is more fluid buildup in the body, leading to symptoms such as swollen hands. Unfortunately, too much fluid buildup can also lead to the body working much harder than it has to, which is why hypertension is often suffered by those who go too far with salty foods. While the body undoubtedly needs salt to function, there is such a thing as too much salt, and in this case, it can result in the fluid buildup and a mess of potential issues for the body moving forward. Fortunately, the solution for too much salt is simple: reduce your salt intake. There’s no need to focus on salty foods when there are so many recipes out there bursting with flavor that use less salt.
It’s also a good idea to avoid processed foods, especially instant noodles, and similar products. The sodium content is often much more than the recommended daily dosage, which can lead to hypertension and swollen hands.
