Does overeating cause your face to swell? The causes and how to treat it with a head massage | Nihonbashi YUE

Be careful in the autumn when your appetite is at its peak! Why overeating can cause your face to swell

Autumn is the season when delicious foods abound and it's easy to overeat. Have you ever woken up with your face puffy or your eyes and cheeks swollen?

The main causes of facial swelling are excessive salt intake and stagnation of blood flow and lymph. When you consume a lot of salt (sodium), your body tends to retain water to regulate blood concentration.

• Too much salt → Increased blood concentration → Water retention → Swelling

  
  

If you understand this mechanism, you can prevent swelling through your daily diet.
