In summary:
• Face bloating = water retention
• Reduce sodium - salt
• Increase potassium, food high in potassium: banans, oranges, advocados, dried fruits
• Maintain electrolyte balance
• Avoid processed foods, preservatives, seed oils.
• Cut out sodas and carbonated drinks
• If you’re sensitive to dairy, reduce your intake
• Eat enough fiber
• Sleep well, reduce stress and move daily
Water retention and electrolytes
Bloat is in most cases just water retention and not fat.
The biggest cause is an imbalance between sodium and potassium.
Too much sodium causes your body to hold water, which can be visible in the face.
Increasing potassium intake helps with flushing excess water and helps with fluid balance.
One of the best high potassium foods for facial debloating are bananas and dried apricots.
You also need enough electrolytes.
Drinking water without electrolytes will dilute minerals, causing low energy, weak muscles and brain fog.
Diet
Processed foods, preservatives, and seed oils can irritate the gut and disrupt digestion, which leads to bloating.
Whole foods are much easier for the gut to handle, cut out processed foods, seed oils or any food with preservatives
If you're sensitive to dairy it can cause bloat. If you're not Greek yoghurts are great, its low in lactose and rich in probiotics,
it supports gut bacteria and improves digestion.
Fiber is essential for deblaoting. Lack of fiber slows digestion.
Meanwhile eating a healthy amount of it helps with gas retention.
Foods high in fiber: bananas, advocados, chia seeds
Digestion
Bloat often comes from poor digestion and excess trapped gas in your system.
When food isn't broken down properly it produces gas
Carbonated drinks are a major cause of bloating since the gas you drink gets trapped in your digestive system.
Even zero calories drink can cause bloating. So just cut out soda or any carbonated drink.
Eating too fast also slows down your digestion, chew your food really good until it becomes liquidy.
Your stomach acid can then break it down properly, which reduces gas buildup.
Movement and stress
Poor sleep and high stress raise cortisol, which increases water retention in your face and puffiness.
Prioritise good sleep, daily movement, and light walking improve to circulation and lympathic flow which helps excess fluid drain from your face.
