High Sodium Foods or Salt
This is where a lot of us go wrong. You might simply assume there isn’t any salt in your food because you can’t taste it, especially for preprocessed foods. But this can be misleading as the main component of salt which encourages bloating is sodium. It can be gotten in different forms. The presence of sodium or salt in one’s diet guarantees that there would be some level of water retention because ‘sodium loves water’. Salt is a very important part of it, and water is attracted to the sodium. Increased water retention occurs, and you feel full more readily. High sodium intake can be related to the occurrence of some types of hypertension due to overloading of the circulation with water. [1]
