How it works
High sodium intake increases plasma osmolality causing increased fluid retention in tissues to maintain osmotic balance.
Most important when oedema is related to heart, kidney or liver disease. Hidden sodium in processed foods is the main source.
Dietary changes
Consider speaking to a GP, dietitian, or naturopath before making significant changes to your diet, particularly if you have an existing health condition.
