Why does the face swell? A swollen face

A swollen face is a problem that can spoil the mood for the whole day. The phenomenon affects many people, not only women but also men. It is said that the face swells due to improper positioning during sleep. However, this is a misleading statement - facial swelling can be caused by problems with different underlying causes. So where does facial swelling come from and how to get back to the slim face?

Facial swelling - what does it mean?

The face gets swollen most often as soon as you wake up. It is caused by excessive water accumulation under the skin, which indicates dehydration. How to get back to slim faceThe daily fluid intake should be more than 2 litres of water, so to negate swelling, it is worth replenishing daily. Puffiness can also be caused by poor eating habits.

Is facial swelling a symptom of disease?

A swollen face can also be associated with hormone-related diseases. In women, swelling is often observed before menstruation or during menstruation. Sometimes it is also due to thyroid problems, so if the problem persists (despite salt restriction and increasing the amount of water in the diet), it is worth seeing an endocrinologist immediately. This is not a cause for fear - in the worst case scenario, the doctor prescribes appropriate medication to regulate the body's hormonal balance.

It is a good idea to choose foods that accumulate water - these are mainly vegetables and fruit, but also rice or groats instead of pasta. An alternative method is also laser lipolysis, a medical procedure aesthetic body slimming.
