avoid sodium (salt) and try herbal teas. tea acts as a diuretic to help release extra water.

Exercise more and make sure you are drinking the right amount of water. You will be good!
The average urine output for adults is 1.5 liters a day. You lose close to an additional liter of water a day through breathing, sweating and bowel movements. Food usually accounts for 20 percent of your total fluid intake, so if you consume 2 liters of water or other beverages a day (a little more than 8 cups) along with your normal diet, you will typically replace the lost fluids. The Institute of Medicine advises that men consume roughly 3.0 liters (about 13 cups) of total beverages a day and women consume 2.2 liters (about 9 cups) of total beverages a day.

You must ask the question as to why you are retaining fluids. Go and see you phyisician and see if a mild diuretic is warranted. He may also run some kidney function tests to see if your renal system is performing properly. Also, he'll check your blood pressure, beacuse when someone retains tissue fluids, the blood pressure tends to be elevated. Cut down on your salt intake...and not just what you add at the table. Don't cook with it, and don't add it. Watch those things with hidden and not so hidden salt in them: ham, bacon, weiners, sausage, procesed sandwich meat, mustard, ketsup, ice cream, olives pickles, and chips.

I know it may sound strange but.. the more water you drink... the more water you'll loose.
Your body doesn't hang on to all the water if it knows there is a steady supply. When you don't drink much water, the body hoards it like there's a drought.
Also, do activities that create sweat.

No, it will not. You'll still hold water. You must see a physician to discover why you might be preserving that so much water. Maintaining water generally is a sign of scientific issues. That you could take OTC water drugs in the meantime. They will have some remedy.

The best way to lessen water retention is two fold. First decrease the amount of salt in the diet, second increase your intake of potassium rich foods. The best source of potassium is canteloupe, then raisins, then green leafy vegies.
