The easiest way to minimize water retention is to decrease one's salt intake. If this is ineffective or only partially effective, and the water retention is causing difficulty, your doctor may prescribe some mild diuretics ("water pills") that help you to urinate more, thereby ridding the body of excess water.

Actually one of the best ways to get rid of water retention is to actually drink more water. As odd as it seems the body needs to be flushed from the water by drinking water because the problem if you are retaining water means that you have a high level of sodium. If you ever worked out and happened to taste your sweat and its salty you know you are eating a high level of sodium and it causes you to appear puffy or bloated.

So in short drink more water!
