Bloating and Water Weight

Any suggestions to help this? I'm trying to cut down on my sodium but something about being female it just doesn't quit

    For water weight, drink more and drink often. And try to cut down on whatever is giving you big sodium contributors.

    If it's severe enough, I'd get a few tests done to check on your kidney and heart function. Heart and kidney problems can lead the body to hold onto water a lot easily than normal. If those check out, try increasing how much potassium you take in per day. Potassium is the counterbalance in the electrolyte balancing act, so it works to balance out sodium levels a bit.

    Females tend to bloat 1-2 weeks per month
