6 Simple And Effective Home Remedies For Water Retention

Water retention or fluid retention, is the accumulation of excess body fluid in certain areas of the body. It is, in the worse cases, quite the unsightly looking condition.

In milder condition, it can cause someone to look obese despite not being overweight. It can also cause pressure fluctuations and in the worst of cases, even a coma.


The clearest symptoms of water retention are easy to notice: swelling of joints, lethargy and a general stiffness in the body.

In the worst of cases, the excess tissue fluid has to be drained out, using minor surgical methods. This would not only be painful but costly too.

Stevia Extract

Nobel prize winner Otto Warburg discovered that cancer cells no longer metabolize oxygen for their energy needs as healthy cells do, but instead they feed on the fermentation of glucose (sugar). For this reason, Stevia may be the ideal sugar substitute for those who are fighting cancer.

Broccoli
Broccoli is rich in anti-cancer minerals, calcium and sulfur. Calcium is important in fighting cancer because it counters acidity i…

Homemade Vitamin C Cream

Vitamin C cream provides remarkable anti-aging benefits to the skin. Vitamin C cream at a 10-percent concentration has been shown to protect against UV damage, stimulate the production of collagen and decrease the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.


Many vitamin C creams and serums on the market today are prohibitively expensive due to the antioxidant's inherent instability. Making your own vitamin C cream costs significantly less than buying name-brand cosmetics. You can also make less at a time to reduce the amount of cream that must be discarded due to oxidation.
