Why does fluid retention happen to your face and body ?Your blood vessels carry blood and fluid throghout the body. The fluid is a mixture of water that carries nutrients, hormones, immune cells and waste products. This fluids will naturally move out into the surrounding tissues for your cells to grab onto returning back to the bloodstream. Most of fluids is returned back into the bloodstream and the remaining is taken by your lymphatic system. The lymphatic system doesnt have a central pump like heart does, Thats why it relies on muscle movement, deep breathing and lymphatic draianage massage.

Fluid renetion will happen when this fluid leaves the bloodstream faster than it can be returned. This happens with prolonged sitting, standing, hormonal changes, excess salts intake, poor hydration, lack of movement, poor ciculation, certain medications. Instead of returning it back to the bloodstreamans lympatic system, the fluid accumulates in the tissues causing face and body to swell, puffiness, and a feeling of heaviness and bloating.
