How to Reduce Fluid Retention and Insulin Resistance in Diabetes

Steps To Reduce Fluid Retention:

The main reason for fluid retention is improper blood circulation. Damaged blood vessel causes peripheral edema, leakage of fluid, and swelling. Here are a few remedies that you can try:

Exercise regularly:

Exercising improves blood circulation and thus will help in getting rid of fluid retention.

Keep your feet elevated:

Elevate your feet above the heart level using a pillow or cushion for 10-15 minutes daily to reduce swelling.

Avoid wearing tight shoes:

Wearing tight shoes obstructs the blood circulation in the feet, which leads to fluid retention. It is better to buy shoes which are one size larger.

Coriander seeds:

Coriander seeds are known to reduce swelling and fluid retention. Grind coriander seeds or mix coriander powder with some water to make a paste. Apply this mixture all over the affected area.

Restrict salt intake:

Salt affects the blood pressure and can result in fluid retention. It is better to have limited salt intake.

Rice water:

Rice water helps in microcirculation and removal of inflammation. You can soak your limbs in rice water for 15-20 minutes to remove water retention and swelling. It is also good for drinking when you have a swollen leg.

Remedies for Reducing Insulin Resistance:

Neem Leaves:

Grind neem leaves to make a paste. Mix with water and drink on an empty stomach in the morning.

Cinnamon powder:

Mix 1 tsp cinnamon powder into warm water and drink every day.

Flax seeds:

Mix ground flax seeds to water and drink every day.

Diet:

Have a high fibre diet with proteins, whole grains, leafy greens, fresh vegetables, fruit, and legumes. Fish oil supplements can also be taken as a nutritional support.
