4. Adjusting your eating habits
Eating foods that are rich in protein, vitamin B6, potassium, and magnesium can also help to decrease water retention. These products include: eggs, mackerel, artichoke, beets, celery, avocado, pineapple, apricots, figs, asparagus, and dark chocolate. And it is better to avoid high salt food like cottage cheese, instant oatmeal, sports drinks, cookies, or canned veggies.
