What is the cause of water retention during and after exercise? Can I avoid it?
When I exercise or walk fast, I get water retention. My fingers and toes are often very bloated and so is my tummy sometimes. I usually drink water throughout my exercise - about half a liter (1 pint) per 30 minutes. Sometimes I may drink the water only once I have finished. Is there anything I can do to stop it as it is…
