It's usually because you're not getting enough water. It sounds counter-intuitive, but MORE water can actually help you get rid of water retention. If your body builds up salts you will retain water so that the salt level does not get too concentrated. By drinking more WATER you will be able to pass the salts and get rid of the extra water. If that doesn't solve the problem, you may need to talk to your doctor. Water retention can also be an indication of high blood pressure.

== == == Intaking fluid into the body pushes other excess fluid out. So long as you are drinking a consistent amount of non-caffeinated fluid from day to day, and keeping your sodium intake at a healthy level - you will not be retaining fluid. If you try to deny your thirst, or allow yourself to remain dehydrated - then the body will retain any fluid you do drink as a way to try to prevent future dehydration.
