There are some foods causing water retention in our body and sticking the
weight on the same scale. And so no matter how hard we tried, we still could
not effectively lose weight. And these foods should be avoided during the
day as they cause“bee sting reaction”in the body.
Mostly these foods consist of sodium. Our body is very sensitive, always tries to maintain homeostasis at the cellular level. Our body cells are filled and surrounded with water. Around and within those cells, specific water percentages are controlled by chemical processes which involve sodium and potassium levels, hormones, and proper kidney function.
Generally, if we are taking in an excess amount of sodium, the mechanism which expels water from our cells is inhibited, thus causing them to swell. This is the basic science behind sodium-related water retention.
Currently, many foods contain salt as a preservative; preventing foods from spoiling by inhibiting the growth of bacteria. Additionally, sodium enhances flavor, prevents excessive dryness in snacks and makes sweets taste even sweeter. It can also mask unsavory metallic and chemical essences that accompany many prepackaged and processed products. These foods include processed and preserved meats and foods as well as canned foods.
Processed and Preserved Meats and Foods
These include ham, bacon, roast beef, chicken, cheese, butter and so on. All of these processed items are packed with sodium. For example, bacon contains an average 2,700 mg of sodium per 100g.
Canned Foods
Canned foods such as soup, beans, and olives almost always have a high sodium content and so be sure to track the amount of sodium per serving.
