Protein intake can impact the development and management of edema. Adequate protein intake helps maintain fluid balance in the body, reducing the risk of edema. However, excessive protein intake can strain the kidneys, potentially worsening edema. It is important to maintain a balanced protein intake to support overall health and manage edema effectively.
Edema can occur as soon as within a few hours after consuming a salty meal, particularly in individuals who are sensitive to sodium intake or have pre-existing conditions like heart or kidney problems. However, the exact timing can vary from person to person. It's important to monitor sodium intake if you are prone to developing edema.

In cases of severe or persistent edema, it is important to consult a healthcare provider to determine the underlying cause and explore further treatment options.
Actos activates the sodium tubules in the distal part of the kidney, making you more prone to salt and water retention. To combat this, take Actos at night before you go to bed. You body naturally diuresis at night, and this will help lower the incidence and severity of the edema. Also, cut down on the salt intake. If needed ask your doctor about a distal acting diuretic or potassium sparing diuretic, such as Lozal (Indapamide).
